The University of Sheffield has launched a new ultra-low temperature lab, expanding quantum research and education opportunities. Equipped with Oxford Instruments’ ProteoxMX dilution refrigerator, the facility will support dark matter detection and qubit research. Students and researchers will gain hands-on experience in quantum instrumentation, preparing them for future careers.
The EuroHPC Joint Undertaking has partnered with IQM Quantum Computers to install the Euro-Q-Exa system at the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre in Germany. The project includes two systems, with 54 and 150 qubits, planned for 2025 and 2026. This initiative aims to expand Europe’s quantum capabilities through hybrid computing solutions.
Artilux and Dr. Richard Soref have introduced a room-temperature photonic quantum computing platform using GeSi SPADs. This development eliminates the need for cryogenic cooling, reducing operational complexity and costs. The new platform enhances scalability and broadens practical applications for quantum technologies.
Terra Quantum, in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, has developed a quantum tensor network method for molecular modeling. This approach improves speed and accuracy in predicting molecular structures, offering a breakthrough for the drug discovery process.
The Competence Center Quantum Computing Baden-Württemberg continues its research, advancing hardware and software for practical quantum computing applications.
In an exciting development, PASQAL has joined forces with Mila, a renowned research institute at the University of Montreal. The institute, founded by Professor Yoshua Bengio, is dedicated to AI. This collaboration marks an exploratory initiative, aiming to elevate generative modeling through quantum computing benchmarking and integration with tensor networks.
Protecting your data, now, is the best course of action to avoid today’s data being decrypted by tomorrow’s quantum computers. We call this eventuality, “Q-Day”. The day when a quantum computer of sufficient capability can break encryption.
Are today’s rudimentary quantum computers already on the verge of significant feats beyond the reach of traditional computers? Or have their capabilities been exaggerated, as practical uses for the technology recede into the future?
Quantum computing startups and deep-tech companies will be supported to advance their innovations through the NSW Government’s new $7 million Quantum Computing Commercialisation Fund.
Quantum computing has emerged as an ideal tool for identifying high-quality solutions for retail’s complex logistics challenges.
