The Biden administration said that it was providing $504 million in implementation grants for a dozen “tech hubs” in Ohio, Montana, Nevada and Florida, among other locations. The money would support the development of quantum computing, biomanufacturing, lithium batteries, computer chips, personal medicine and other technologies.
Pasqal, a global leader in neutral-atom quantum computing, today announced a significant technological milestone: the successful loading of over 1000 atoms in a single shot within their quantum computing setup. This breakthrough marks a crucial step in Pasqal’s progress towards quantum advantage and scalable quantum processors.
IQM Quantum Computers has inaugurated its first quantum data center in Munich, Germany, aiming to bolster industry applications through advanced quantum computing. This new facility currently hosts two quantum computers manufactured by IQM in Finland and the company has plans to accommodate up to 12 there in the future.
In collaboration with the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre (LRZ) of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences and Humanities, the Q-Exa consortium, led by IQM Quantum Computers (IQM), a global leader in building quantum computers, and including Eviden and HQS Quantum Simulation, has integrated a 20-qubit quantum computer into a supercomputer, SuperMUC-NG in Germany.
The promise of vastly improved capabilities is driving researchers to explore the convergence of quantum computing and artificial intelligence.

The team reports Quixer has demonstrated efficient and effective quantum transformations tailored for language modeling tasks.
Quandela, a European quantum computing provider, has launched its first manufacturing pilot line dedicated to high-performance photonic qubit devices in Massy, France. This new site aims to enhance the deployment of error-corrected quantum computers. The pilot line leverages integrated photonics and semiconductor quantum dot-based devices, reflecting twenty years of research from French telecom laboratories and…
United Nations General Assembly declares 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ) to mark 100 years after Heisenberg, Born, and Jordan developed matrix mechanics and Schrödinger formulated wave mechanics.
IBM and Pasqal have announced a partnership to develop a unified approach to quantum-centric supercomputing, integrating quantum and classical computing. This collaboration aims to advance application research in chemistry and materials science, leveraging the strengths of IBM’s superconducting circuits and Pasqal’s neutral atom-based quantum computers.
UKQuantum, the consortium for the UK quantum industry, launched its Manifesto for the UK’s quantum sector, making specific recommendations to the next government to ensure the UK maintains its position as a global quantum technology leader. UKQuantum is committed to providing a unified voice for the sector while supporting and representing the UK as a…
Singapore will invest close to S$300 million over the next five years to boost quantum technology research and talent – including efforts to build processors for quantum computers locally. Called the National Quantum Strategy (NQS), the initiative builds on the over S$400 million that Singapore has already invested into quantum research over the past two…
Aramco has entered into an agreement with Pasqal, a leader in neutral atom quantum computing, to install, maintain, and operate the first quantum computer in Saudi Arabia. The 200-qubit quantum computer will be deployed in the second half of 2025, marking a significant milestone in the Kingdom’s technological advancements.
With Denmark as the centre of gravity, the ambition is to invest in, support and advance some of the world’s most promising quantum technology companies with applications in the life sciences.
