A team of researchers at the MPQ has pioneered the integration of erbium atoms with special optical properties into a silicon crystal.
Although the word “qudit” might look like a typo, this lesser-known cousin of the qubit, or quantum bit, can carry more information and is more resistant to noise — both of which are key qualities needed to improve the performance of quantum networks, quantum key distribution systems and, eventually, the quantum internet.
The European Commission has selected ‘quantum internet’ as a strategic area for investment to build a global quantum internet made in Europe.
Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China and Jinan Institute of Quantum Technology have recently demonstrated quantum entanglement between two memory devices located at 12.5 km apart from each other within an urban environment.
A combined investment of €3 million in the CoQREATE (Convergent Quantum REsearch Alliance in TElecommunications) US-Ireland R&D Partnership has been announced to investigate technologies that will form the foundations of a quantum internet.
South Korean research bodies and private companies joined hands to form a government-initiated task force for the development of a 50-qubit quantum computer by the end of 2026 with the aim of catching up with the United States and China, which have been far ahead in quantum computing.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today [August 19, 2021] announced $61 million in funding for infrastructure and research projects to advance quantum information science (QIS). QIS is the science of the extremely small, where molecules, atoms, and light can defy traditional laws of physics. Advances in QIS can enable new forms of computing, simulation, communication, and sensing that can advance breakthroughs.
