Credit: IonQ At the Quantum World Congress today, IonQ announced two new rack mounted quantum processors intended primarily for on-premise installation as part of a continuing expansion of its product line. These processors are designed to fit into existing data center infrastructure and be easy to install and integrate with an organizations classical computing systems. With these systems, IonQ believes that its customers will be able to achieve a quantum advantage over classical approaches for some problems within the next two years. The first systems is called IonQ Forte Enterprise that has an IonQ performance [...]

One of the technical challenges that quantum processor designers face as they scale up the size of their machines, is how to handle the increased requirements for controlling the qubits. Most superconducting based systems currently are using external control electronics to generate analog waveforms and use advanced coaxial cable assembles to snake through the dilution refrigerator to deliver the signals to the qubit chip running at millikelvin temperatures inside the dilution refrigerator. This can present significant mechanics engineering challenges because the number of wires that need to be routed will increase linearly with the number of qubits. As machines scales into [...]

Partec is a Munich, Germany based integrators for high performance supercomputing systems and now has started to get involved in various quantum projects. In the past 18 months they have become collaborators in the German QSOLID program to create and integrate a quantum processor at the Forschungszentrum Jülich supercomputing center. They are also involved as a partner in an Israel Quantum Computing Center, and recently announced an agreement with Quantum Machines to co-develop a software solution called Qbridge for scheduling scheduling classical and quantum resources and integrating the software into Quantum Machines OPX Controller. Now, they have announced they are establishing a [...]

Brian Miles, a cybersecurity expert at AT&T, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. Brian and Yuval discuss AT&T’s Quantum Security program. AT&T aims to be "quantum ready" by 2025, meaning they will understand the security gaps posed by quantum computers, have mitigation strategies, security policies, and a security architecture in place. Brian emphasizes the importance of awareness and education about quantum computing, the potential for quantum-enabled services for customers, the ongoing risk of quantum attacks, and much more. Transcript Yuval Boger: Hello Brian, and thank you for joining me today.  Brian Miles: Hey Yuval, thanks for the invitation.  Yuval: So who are [...]

By Carolyn Mathas Two new quantum funding deals were just secured, Nanofiber Quantum Technologies Inc. (NanoQT), raised $8.5m and Paris-based ColibriTD closed €1M ($1.6M USD). Venture capital was the source of both deals.    NanoQT’s focus is on fiber connectable quantum computing hardware based on a unique nanofiber cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (QED) technology. The company’s quantum processing unit (QPU) uses neutral atoms and photons as qubits that can process and store quantum information while communicating with other QPUs. The result is greater scalability compared to traditional implementation methods. According to Dr. Masahi Hirose, CEO and co-founder, “With the funding, our primary objective is [...]

Picture of a SBQuantum Magnetic Sensor. Credit: SBQuantum Many governments and other parties are very interested in developing navigation systems as an alternative to Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS) such as the GPS system. These could be used for situations where the GNSS system is unavailable due to radio interference, jamming or other reasons. One alternative being researched is to use sensitive magnetic sensors to map the earth's magnetic field and then use a sensor on a ship or airplane to sense the magnetic field as it travels. This approach takes advantage of the fact that the earth's magnetic field is [...]

By Yuval Boger, Chief Marketing Officer, QuEra Computing Quantum computing, with its potential to solve complex problems beyond the reach of classical systems, is poised to revolutionize the High-Performance Computing (HPC) landscape. As an HPC manager, integrating quantum computing into your center can be a game-changer, but it requires careful consideration. Here are twelve key aspects to consider: 1. Use Cases and Benefits The first step in your quantum journey is to identify specific use cases where quantum computing can provide significant benefits. Understanding these use cases will help you align quantum capabilities with the needs of your HPC center and [...]
