The quantum sector surged forward on May 1, 2025, with fresh collaborations, government support, and AI integration. Xanadu, IonQ, and D-Wave revealed advances, while RPI and policymakers emphasized long-term network and research goals.
Researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute’s Cybersecurity Collaboratory are advancing IoT security through quantum preprocessing techniques. Their work, accepted at IEEE SaTC 2025, addresses growing cybersecurity challenges as quantum computing evolves. Undergraduate students play a key role in these developments, contributing to the future of quantum security.
Rensselaer Institute for Data, Artificial Intelligence, and Computing (DAIC) is to become the primary academic center in the U.S. for advancing new computational paradigms, including those that are a hybrid of conventional, neuromorphic, and quantum computing — combining bits, neurons, and qubits, which will make it possible to solve problems that current computing systems cannot.
