DARPA’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative aims to determine if a fault-tolerant quantum computer can be built by 2033. Fifteen companies have begun Stage A, while three more finalize contract details. By analyzing diverse hardware approaches, DARPA seeks to accelerate quantum technology for national security and industry.
emiQon has announced the release of the world’s first transistor capable of efficient operation in cryogenic conditions. This innovation reduces heat dissipation by a factor of 1,000, aiding the scalability of quantum computers to fault-tolerant levels. The transistors can be mass-produced using existing CMOS fabrication facilities, facilitating adoption without new infrastructure.
Quantum computing has a crucial weakness that may severely delay, if not kill outright, its chances of becoming a way of running algorithms that classical computers cannot handle: its susceptibility to noise.
Quantinuum researchers have hit a significant milestone by entangling logical qubits in a fault-tolerant circuit using real-time quantum error correction.
Atlantic Quantum, a developer of scalable quantum computers, announced a $9 million seed investment led by The Engine, the venture firm spun out of MIT that invests in early-stage Tough Tech companies.
French quantum computing startup, Alice&Bob, announced a major advance towards the first marketable quantum computer. In a major scientific breakthrough, Alice&Bob has eliminated one of the main barriers to, and significantly reduced the complexity of, delivering a functional quantum computer – a goal that could now be within reach.
Researchers from The University of Maryland and IonQ, Inc. (“IonQ”) (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, on Monday published results in the journal Nature that show a significant breakthrough in error correction technology for quantum computers. In collaboration with scientists from Duke University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, this work demonstrates for the first time how quantum computers can overcome quantum computing errors, a key technical obstacle to large-scale use cases like financial market prediction or drug discovery.
Osaka University and Fujitsu Limited announced the establishment of the Fujitsu Quantum Computing Joint Research Division as a collaborative research division at the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology (hereinafter QIQB) of Osaka University.
