IonQ Served a Piece of Taxpayer Pie: $13.4M Contract with U.S. Military
IonQ, an industry leader in quantum computing, today announced that it has secured a $13.4 million contract to supply the U.S. Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) with access to its trapped ion systems for quantum computing hardware research and for the development of quantum algorithms and applications.
Analysis: Meta-Ethics of Quantum Technologies Requires Bringing Social Sciences, Philosophy, and Pure Sciences Together
The novelty of quantum technology makes it different from other emerging tech. It will bolster computation power, dramatically reduce processing time, and easily break into modern-day encryption.
European Consortium to Field Eagle-1 Satellite-Based End-To-End Quantum Key Distribution System, Set In Orbit in 2024
An SES-led consortium of 20 European companies, with the European Space Agency (ESA) and European Commission support, will design, develop, launch and operate the EAGLE-1 satellite-based end-to-end system for secure Quantum Key Distribution, enabling in-orbit validation and demonstration of next-generation cyber-security across Europe.
Major Investment: Developing Denmark’s First Fully Functional Quantum Computer
With the establishment of the Quantum Computing Programme, Denmark is taking its biggest leap so far in the development of Denmark’s and perhaps the world’s first fully functional generally applicable quantum computer.
U.S. National Science Foundation Announces Increased Spending of Taxpayer Money for Quantum Information Science and Engineering Research
Building capacity, broadening participation, increasing access and expanding opportunities are central to fulfilling the mandate outlined in the “National Quantum Initiative Act,” passed in 2018 under the Trump Administration, and a key tenet of the U.S. National Science Foundation’s founding mission.
U.S. Voting Systems Are Considered Critical Infrastructure, U.S. Citizens Must Hope It’s Un-elected Thuggery Doesn’t Treat Quantum Information Science With the Same Neglect
In the latest sign that the technology revolution is moving in new directions, a six-line law with no name is helping to redefine the traditional notions of infrastructure – to include artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and semiconductors.
India’s IIT Madras and IBM Partner to Make Quantum Real
IBM has partnered with Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, (IIT-Madras), to advance quantum computing skill development and research in India.
U.S. Spy Agency Sets Requirements and Deadline for Adoption of Post-Quantum Cryptography
The Director of NSA is the National Manager for NSS and therefore issues guidance for NSS. The algorithms in CNSA 2.0 are an update to those in the currently required Commercial National Security Algorithm Suite (now referred to as CNSA 1.0) listed in CNSSP 15, Annex B (released in 2016). The CNSA 2.0 algorithms have been analyzed as secure against both classical and quantum computers, and they will eventually be required for NSS.
Country Emerging as a Talent Hub for Quantum Computing
