Xanadu, HBKU Collaborate on Quantum Machine Learning PhD Fellowship
Xanadu, a Canadian quantum computing company founded in 2016, is collaborating with Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) Qatar Center for Quantum Computing (QC2). The partnership, established in November 2023, aims to prepare a quantum-ready workforce in Qatar.
Itinerant Magnetism and Superconductivity in Exotic 2D Metals for Next-Generation Quantum Devices
The Quantum Systems Accelerator (QSA) pioneers studies to build and co-design the next generation of programmable quantum devices. An interdisciplinary team of scientists from QSA institutions, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), and the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley), in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, conducted a series of experiments with a new type of layered 2D metal finding connections in electronic behavior that might potentially be useful for fabricating complex superconducting quantum processors.
Xanadu and KISTI Partner to Create South Korea’s First Quantum-Classical Hybrid Computing Infrastructure
Xanadu (xanadu.ai), a leader in photonic quantum computing, has teamed up with the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI) to establish South Korea’s inaugural quantum-classical hybrid computing infrastructure.
The Thermodynamics of Quantum Computing
In research on quantum computers, one aspect that has been mostly neglected until now is the generation of heat.

Arqit Quantum Inc. announced it has signed with Dell Technologies Dell agrees to preload Arqit’s QuantumCloud™ software on selected Dell hardware devices.
The University of Edinburgh Is Expanding Expertise in Quantum Computing
Edinburgh scientists are set to lead a major new research programme to expand the University’s world-leading expertise in quantum computing.
Quantum Islands Could Reveal Secrets for Powerful Technologies
Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created grids of tiny clumps of atoms known as quantum dots and studied what happens when electrons dive into these archipelagos of atomic islands.
Unimon: A New Qubit to Boost Quantum Computers for Useful Applications
A group of scientists from IQM Quantum Computers, Aalto University, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland have discovered a new superconducting qubit, the unimon, to increase the accuracy of quantum computations. The team has achieved the first quantum logic gates with unimons at 99.9% fidelity — a major milestone on the quest to build commercially useful quantum computers.
