Lower cooling requirements, longer operating times, lower error rates: Quantum computers based on spin photons and diamond promise significant advantages over competing quantum computing technologies. The consortium of the BMBF project SPINNING coordinated by Fraunhofer IAF has succeeded in decisively advancing the development of spin-photon-based quantum computers. On October 22 and 23, 2024, the partners…
La Fondazione Links, insieme al Politecnico di Torino e all’Istituto nazionale di Ricerca Metrologica (INRIM) accenderanno a Torino uno dei primi computer quantistici d’Italia. I tre enti torinesi – Links nasce dalla collaborazione tra la Compagnia di Sanpaolo e lo stesso Politecnico – rafforzano la presenza nell’High Performance Computing e co-investono in un sistema quantistico…
Nord Quantique announced partnerships with two major institutions to secure its supply chain for chip fabrication within the Northeast Semiconductor Manufacturing Corridor. The company partnered with the MiQro Innovation Collaborative Centre (C2MI) in Quebec for industrial-grade fabrication of superconducting qubits and NY CREATES in New York for scalable, CMOS-based qubit production.
These partnerships are designed…
Quandela has published its 2024-2030 roadmap, aiming to achieve fault-tolerant quantum computing by 2030, with the first logical qubits expected by 2025 and industrial-scale quantum computer assembly by 2028.
Zapata AI, one of the pioneering startups in the quantum software market, has ceased operations as of October 9, 2024. The sudden terminations appears to have been precipitated by an acceleration of payment of about $2.5 million that the company owed to Sandia Investment Management LP.
Chinese researchers, using a D-Wave quantum computer, claim to have executed what they are calling the first successful quantum attack on widely used encryption algorithms, posing a “real and substantial threat” to sectors like banking and the military. Despite the advance, the researchers acknowledge limitations such as environmental interference, underdeveloped hardware and the inability to…
The UK government has released an approach to regulating quantum tech. It recognizes the immense potential of these innovations while acknowledging they are still in their early stages of development. Instead of rushing to impose rigid regulations, the government is opting for a nuanced approach, focusing on fostering responsible innovation, collaboration, and a sector specific…
The Japanese government will support the development of quantum encryption technology by 2030, enlisting partners potentially including Toshiba and NEC in an effort to defend against the next-generation of cyberattacks.
Two quantum computing firms face being delisted from their respective stock exchanges over their low share prices. D-Wave and Rigetti Computing both announced they have received letters, from the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and Nasdaq respectively, warning they are not complying with the minimum required share price for listing. As a result, both could…
Ephos, con sede a Milano, produttore di chip fotonici in vetro, ha annunciato lunedì di aver ottenuto 8.5 milioni di dollari (circa 7.6 milioni di euro) in un round di finanziamento iniziale guidato da Starlight Ventures.
The United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) and Quantum Delta NL have partnered to explore quantum technologies for the UN system, launching the collaboration at the “Quantum for Good” event, co-sponsored by several international entities. The collaboration will continue with expert events, including a follow-up conference in November 2024, aiming to establish a work plan…
Researchers from Zhejiang University and Tsinghua University demonstrated quantum continual learning on a fully programmable superconducting quantum processor, addressing the challenge of catastrophic forgetting in machine learning.
