IonQ has announced a multi-party collaboration with AstraZeneca, AWS, and NVIDIA to demonstrate a hybrid quantum-classical workflow aimed at accelerating early-stage pharmaceutical development. The workflow, showcased at ISC High Performance 2025, achieved a 20x speedup in time-to-solution compared to previous approaches while modeling catalytic steps in Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling—a reaction class essential to small-molecule drug synthesis. The end-to-end solution integrates IonQ’s Forte quantum processing unit (QPU), NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q platform, and AWS cloud infrastructure, including Braket and ParallelCluster. This combination allowed accurate simulation of complex chemical pathways, significantly reducing the expected computational runtime from months to days. The result highlights how quantum acceleration [...]

It is intended to accelerate the adoption of Quantum Dice’s continuously self-certifying QRNG technology across sectors requiring high-assurance randomness, such as secure communications and AI optimization. DISC™, short for Device-Independent Self-Certifying, is Quantum Dice’s patented architecture for [...]

Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics IAF has officially brought online its diamond-based QB-QDK2.0 system from Quantum Brilliance, marking a go-live milestone for Europe’s first room-temperature quantum accelerator using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers. The installation follows the system’s initial purchase in late 2024 and represents a key advance in integrating quantum accelerators into high-performance computing environments. The QB-QDK2.0 system is now fully operational within Fraunhofer IAF’s quantum computing infrastructure in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Installed without cryogenic requirements, the device fits into a standard 19” rack and is co-located with classical processors and NVIDIA GPUs to support hybrid quantum-classical workloads. The system is [...]

Quantum Brilliance has begun delivery of its diamond-based room-temperature quantum processors, including upcoming deployments to Fraunhofer IAF and Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Concurrently, the company is working with European research institute imec to explore integration of diamond into standard semiconductor fabrication processes. This effort supports the long-term goal of embedding quantum processors within conventional compute architectures, such as CPU or GPU boards. Built on nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits in diamond, Quantum Brilliance’s technology enables operation without cryogenics, targeting use cases such as mobile quantum computing and co-packaged sensing. As part of an €18 million chip development project and a €35 million [...]

Researchers from QuEra Computing, Harvard University, and the University of Innsbruck have reported the first observation of string breaking in a programmable two-dimensional quantum simulator. The experiment, conducted on QuEra’s Aquila neutral-atom platform, is detailed in a new publication in Nature. The results demonstrate the controlled simulation of gauge-theory dynamics in two spatial dimensions—an experimental regime that pushes the limits of classical computation. The team arranged rubidium atoms in a kagome-geometry optical lattice using optical tweezers, implementing a lattice gauge theory that mimics aspects of quantum chromodynamics. By tuning laser parameters, the researchers simulated confining flux tubes between synthetic charges and [...]

ColibriTD has launched QUICK-PDE, a quantum-classical hybrid solver for partial differential equations (PDEs), now available through the IBM Qiskit Functions Catalog. Built on the company’s H-DES (Hybrid Differential Equation Solver) algorithm, QUICK-PDE enables developers and researchers to solve domain-specific multiphysics PDEs by leveraging IBM’s utility-scale quantum systems via cloud access. The tool supports quantum-assisted simulation of key physics scenarios, including the inviscid Burgers’ equation, used in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model shockwave behavior in aerospace and automotive engineering, and hypoelastic mechanical deformation in 1D, relevant for stress-strain modeling in manufacturing and materials science. These are executed as Variational Quantum Algorithms, [...]

Carahsoft Technology Corp. and QuSecure have announced a partnership to accelerate the deployment of post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions across U.S. government agencies.
