Quantum communication and networking technologies enable private information sharing and networked quantum computing – serving as the backbone of a future, secure quantum internet.
Australia has announced a $940 million — or about $617 million US — investment in PsiQuantum, a Silicon Valley start-up with Australian roots, in a bid to build the world’s first commercially viable quantum computer in Brisbane.
To monitor progress in quantum technologies in Europe, in 2021 the Quantum Flagship set out ambitious Key Performance Indicators and has been measuring them annually since then. The KPI values for the year 2023 are published and the results show the impressive progress of Europe in the area of quantum technologies.
Ireland launched Quantum 2030, Ireland’s first national strategy for quantum technologies. It focuses the efforts of Ireland’s quantum technologies community on areas of emerging growth in quantum technologies where Ireland can achieve a competitive advantage.
CERN introduces a three-year program named the Open Quantum Institute (OQI). This initiative will provide quantum computing resources and expertise to projects supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and aims to reduce the potential new digital divide.
European quantum startups are on the rise. Last year, while many VC-backed companies in the region were struggling to raise funds, but with strong support from governments and burgeoning interest from VCs, Europe’s quantum scene is growing steadily.
The company known as Zapata AI took a massive tumble on April 1st, 2024, as its new ticker (ZPTA) rolled out. The company that went to market via Andretti Acquisition Corp faced a massive blow to its share price, tumbling from $15 to under $6 as seen on Google Finance.
A team from Quantinuum and Microsoft have developed a circuit that creates four logical qubits from 30 physical qubits on Quantinuum’s H2 processor. This circuit reduces a physical error rate for the circuit from 0.008 (8×10-3) to 0.00001 (1×10-5) for an improvement of up to 800X.
The French Ministry for Armed Forces is funding the PROQCIMA competition to deliver of a universal fault-tolerant quantum computer demonstrator with 128 logical qubits by 2030 and its industrialization into a 2048-logical-qubits computer by 2035.
France’s defense-procurement agency selected 5 quantum computing startups: Alice & Bob, C12, Pasqal, Quandela and Quobly for the project.
Quantum computing has remained a decade away for over a decade now, but according to industry experts it may hold the secret to curbing AI’s insatiable appetite. Hence it should come as no surprise that with its latest hire, OpenAI added Ben Bartlett, a former quantum systems architect at PsiQuantum to its ranks, to hedge…
French quantum hardware manufacturer Pasqal has released a roadmap for its hardware and software development and also has described some of the early customers and applications who are working with their neutral atom based machine.
