Classiq, a leading quantum software company, and Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), a quantum computing hardware company, announced a partnership aimed at making advanced quantum computing more accessible and streamlined for users across research and industry. The partnership aims to unlock the power of quantum by abstracting away complexity for developers. As part of this collaboration, they will partner to further integrate their respective technologies with data centers and HPC (high-performance computing). The partnership between Classiq and OQC will offer users a smooth flow including modeling, debugging, automatic quantum circuit synthesis, circuit optimization, and execution on OQC’s cutting-edge quantum hardware. Classiq’s platform [...]

A Wave Photonics Wafer Being Tested by CORNERSTONE. Credit: Wave Photonics Wave Photonics, a startup based in Cambridge, UK, is spearheading a £500 thousand ($627K USD) funded by Innovate UK project to develop integrated photonic components for trapped ion quantum computers and establish a UK supply chain. The project is a collaboration with Oxford Ionics, the CORNERSTONE foundry at the University of Southampton, and the Compound Semiconductor Applications (CSA) Catapult. The goal is to enhance the UK supply chain for integrated photonics and quantum technologies. Trapped ions, individual atoms from which an electron has been precisely removed using lasers and then [...]

When Rigetti Computing released their Q3 financial report, they mentioned that they had developed a 9 qubit QPU chip and had sold one to the Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center (SQMS) at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and sold another one to an unnamed U.S. national laboratory. The company has now given a name of Novera to this product and announced it is now available for other customers.a The product consists of a chip with 9 qubits arranged in a 3x3 matrix that used tunable couplers along with a second chip with 5 qubits without tunable couplers intended for testing [...]

Quantum Facility in the EPB Building. Credit: EPB The EPB Quantum Network℠ powered by Qubitekk announced that Qunnect has joined as their first customer and the University of Tennessee Chattanooga (UTC) as the first academic institution connected to their network. Qunnect develops core technologies needed for scalable quantum-secure communication and has commercialized the world’s first quantum memory. Qunnect is seeking to demonstrate interoperability between quantum component providers on a dedicated commercial network infrastructure. Their devices will need to work with devices provided by Qubitekk. Qunnect's hardware is also used with the GothamQ network in New York, a 50 kilometer network that connects the [...]

The HNü 240 camera to be Used for Seeing the Qubits A new project is set to advance the field of quantum computing by developing imaging systems to measure qubit states, a crucial capability for scaling quantum computers. Quantum computers are built on quantum bits or qubits, which currently lack the power to unlock real-world applications. To overcome this, the quantity and quality of qubits must increase, along with the optical and electronic systems required to operate with qubits and interpret the results. Steve Brierley, CEO and Founder at Riverlane, emphasized the need to reach a scale where quantum computers can [...]

Colorized Picture of a Bose-Einstein Condensate. Credit: NIST By Brian N. Siegelwax "I'm So Excited" Why Manipulating Bose-Einstein Condensate is Exciting for the Quantum Community The opportunity to experiment with the fifth state of matter (along with solid, liquid, gas, and plasma) ought to be personally exciting for just about anyone. But just in case it isn’t, this article is going to explore the commercial applications of quantum matter research. First things first, Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) are formed when atoms, which are suspended inside an ultra-high vacuum chamber, are cooled to billionths-of-a-degree (nK) above absolute zero. A fraction of the atoms [...]

The team successfully executed large-scale algorithms on an error-corrected quantum computer utilizing 48 logical qubits. This represents a significant advance over previous demonstrations, which were limited to one or two logical qubits. This breakthrough signifies a transition from the era of physical qubits to the era of logical, error-corrected qubits, marking a new era in scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. The research demonstrates enhanced computation stability and reliability through quantum error correction, operating logical qubits with a fidelity superior to the component physical qubits. The fidelity improves as the code distance increases, allowing the correction of more errors. Key developments that enabled [...]
