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.
The U.K.’s network of prestigious universities has always made the country fertile ground for research and innovation.
Arizona State University has launched the Quantum Collaborative, a major 21st century initiative poised to profoundly impact society and the American economy with new discoveries and applications in advanced quantum technology.
Given its promise, there is understandably a rush amongst technology companies, universities, and startups in putting together teams and investments to apply quantum computing to real-world problems.
[India is] witnessing a growing interest in quantum computing with active participation (amongst the highest) from students, developers, and academia in various initiatives like the IBM Quantum Challenge, IBM Quantum Summer School, Qiskit Challenge-India…
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) has begun coordination work on the Quantum Spain project, which provides for the construction and installation of the first quantum computer based on European technology. The strategic objective of the Quantum Spain project, approved last Tuesday by the Council of Ministers, is to create a solid quantum computing ecosystem in Spain.
With “Profilbildung 2020”, the NRW Ministry of Culture and Science (MKW) provides scope for the development of forward-looking research topics and the sustainable increase in the competitiveness of the respective institutions. To this end, it provides around one million euros in funding per project every year. Building on existing strengths, potential areas are to be expanded that contribute to the further development of research profiles. The University of Paderborn has now successfully prevailed with an application for the potential area “Photonic Quantum Computing”. In it, scientists pursue an interdisciplinary approach to the realization of a photonic quantum computer. In the future, all steps from basic research to new quantum algorithms to the modeling of large, complex quantum systems and the realization of photonic quantum networks for corresponding computing applications will be combined at one location. The project also aims to train a new generation of excellent researchers in the field of quantum computing, taking into account gender equality. With the profile area, Paderborn is to establish itself as an internationally visible center for photonic quantum technologies.
The acceleration in the quantum computing space and the growing number of companies, universities and government agencies that are pushing this wheel are driving the industry into the same problems that other market segments — think cybersecurity and data science — have hit: a skills shortage.
