The initiative reflects a broader ambition to build a global quantum supply chain, strengthening quantum capabilities in both Asia and Europe. With mutual roots in research institutions such as Caltech, UC Berkeley, and ETH Zurich, both companies bring complementary expertise to support hardware innovation and industrial deployment. The planned testbed [...]

Alice & Bob has announced the construction of a €50 million quantum hardware facility in Paris, featuring a 4,000 m² chip development lab with a nanofabrication cleanroom and infrastructure to support its next-generation QPU lines: Lithium, Beryllium, and Graphene. The facility will include a cryostat farm housing 20 dilution refrigerators to enable parallel experimentation and development, with a dedicated section for testing Graphene, a 100-logical-qubit machine scheduled for 2030. The lab is funded by the company’s recent €100 million ($103 million USD) Series B. The site will integrate systems from Quantum Machines and Bluefors, who will provide quantum control electronics and [...]

Maybell Quantum has signed an agreement with Interlune, a U.S. space resources company, to become its first commercial customer for lunar-sourced helium-3, a critical input for dilution refrigerators used in quantum computing. Under the deal, Maybell will receive thousands of liters of helium-3 annually between 2029 and 2035 to support the cooling requirements of its cryogenic platforms. These systems, including the company’s high-density “Big Fridge,” enable quantum processors to operate below 10 millikelvin and have already demonstrated threefold improvements in qubit support within one-tenth the volume of competing systems. On the same day, Interlune announced a groundbreaking agreement with the U.S. [...]

Oxford Ionics has released a detailed development roadmap for its trapped-ion quantum computing platform, outlining a three-phase strategy—Foundation, Enterprise-grade, and Value at scale—designed to scale its systems from current deployments of 16–64 qubits to over 10,000 physical qubits, ultimately enabling millions of logical qubits. The roadmap is anchored not only on qubit count but on achieving industry-leading physical error rates of 10-4 and below, aiming to support practical, high-fidelity quantum computation in real-world applications. In the Foundation phase, Oxford Ionics is deploying QPUs featuring 16–64 qubits with 99.99% fidelity and all-to-all connectivity, enabling complex algorithm execution without immediate error correction. The [...]

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has announced its Q1 2025 financial results. A quick summary of some key financial metrics comparing Q1 2025 versus Q4 2024 and the year ago quarter of Q1 2024 is shown in the chart below. D-Wave reached a record level of revenue of $15 million in Q1 2025 helped substantially by completion of the first Advantage processor installation at Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ). And their Net Loss also came in substantially improved at $5.4 million versus $17.3 million in the year ago quarter. This was helped by the increased revenue as well as beneficial change in the fair value of [...]

First Quarter Financial Results IonQ has announced its Q1 2025 financial results. A quick summary of some key financial metrics comparing Q1 2025 versus Q4 2024 and the year ago quarter of Q1 2024 is shown in the chart below. Revenue for the first quarter of 2025 was essentially flat with the revenue achieved in the year ago quarter. However, the companies cash balance increased significantly to almost $700 million due to the raise of $700 million through an At-the-Market offering. Although the Net Loss came in about $7.3 million lower than the year ago quarter, this quarters report benefitted from a [...]

ORCA Computing and ParTec AG have announced a strategic partnership to deliver quantum-accelerated AI Factories, marking a new phase in enterprise-ready quantum computing. Under this agreement, ORCA’s photonic quantum systems will be deployed within ParTec’s AI supercomputing environments, including two of the world’s upcoming largest supercomputers—ELBJUWEL at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf and VESUVIO at Università di Napoli Federico II. These systems are designed for AI-as-a-Service, supporting next-generation use cases in mobility, aerospace, cybersecurity, and healthcare. The joint solution merges ParTec’s high-performance computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure with ORCA’s room-temperature, low-latency photonic quantum computers. This approach enables real-time hybrid computing architectures with rapid deployment [...]

UK-based startup Moth and electronic artist ILĀ have collaborated to produce RECURSE, the world’s first commercially released music track created using quantum-powered generative AI. The track was developed using Moth’s Archaeo platform, which integrates quantum machine learning—specifically Quantum Reservoir Computing (QRC)—with artist-provided inputs to generate musical elements like bass, synth, and drums. Final sequences were processed on IQM Quantum Computers hardware, showcasing a hybrid workflow combining classical and quantum methods. Unlike standard AI models that rely on scraping large datasets, Archaeo works with small, curated datasets provided directly by the artist, offering improved creative control and preserving originality and authorship. ILĀ [...]

Researchers at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and the University of Rochester have successfully developed and demonstrated the Rochester Quantum Network (RoQNET), a quantum communications testbed connecting their campuses via 11 miles of optical fiber. The system transmits information using single photons at room temperature, advancing efforts toward scalable and secure quantum communications using existing telecom infrastructure. RoQNET serves as a prototype for distributed quantum entanglement over fiber lines. The team uses integrated quantum photonic chips for generating entangled photons, and solid-state-based quantum memory nodes. These technologies are considered essential for the development of quantum internet infrastructure that can interconnect [...]
