Quantum computing is a new strategic technology with wide-reaching implications. The ability to solve problems and perform calculations that no existing classical computer can, or ever will be able to, opens a plethora of strategic opportunities and challenges.
The University of Ottawa (uOttawa) and Xanadu formed a new partnership to drive Canada’s quantum computing approach beyond fundamental scientific research.
Japan plans to bring into service its first homegrown quantum computer by the end of March next year and have 10 million people using the technology by 2030.
While a fully-fledged quantum computer doesn’t appear to exist yet, there is already worry about its ability to crack encryption underpinning critical communications
Australia and the United States have signed a joint statement to cooperate on quantum technology innovation and commercialization.
Qunnect, INC., a Quantum Networking company, announces the sale of the world’s first commercial Quantum Memory to Brookhaven National Laboratory. Quantum Memories are critical components for enabling future quantum-secure networks, as they support distributed entanglement communication protocols, and serve as core components in quantum repeaters.
Quantum Xchange, delivering the future of encryption with its leading-edge key distribution platform has collaborated with Thales to offer immediate quantum-safe and crypto-agile key delivery capabilities. The resulting quantum-resistant network solution enables end-users to future-proof the security of their data and communications networks; overcome the vulnerabilities of present-day encryption techniques, e.g., keys and data traveling together; and protect against man-in-the-middle, harvesting, and future quantum attacks.
SEEQC, the Digital Quantum Computing company, announced its UK-based team has been awarded a £6.85M grant from Innovate UK to build a commercially scalable application-specific quantum computer designed to tackle prohibitively high costs within pharmaceutical drug development.
The Chicago Quantum Exchange has added three new corporate partners to its growing network: Classiq, Lake Shore Cryotronics, and Oxford Instruments.
