Qoro Quantum has announced the launch of Solo, a self-serve cloud platform designed to accelerate the simulation of hybrid quantum-classical workloads. By shifting from traditional sequential queuing to multilayered parallelization, Solo enables developers and scientists to execute complex simulations significantly faster than standard local configurations. In internal benchmarks, the platform completed a 9,000-job QAOA max-cut workload in under 10 minutes—a task that typically exceeds 24 hours on conventional setups. The Solo platform serves as the access layer for Qoro's integrated software stack, which includes Divi (an open-source Python library for workload construction), Composer (an orchestration and scheduling tool for heterogeneous hardware), [...]

Yuval Boger interviews Scott Aaronson, a UT Austin computer science professor known for his work on quantum computing theory. They explore the current state of quantum hardware, the narrowing case for quantum skepticism, and the realistic path toward fault-tolerant, useful quantum machines. The conversation also covers quantum algorithms, cryptography risks, ethics, hype in commercialization, and advice for the next generation of quantum researchers. Transcript Yuval: Hello Scott, thank you for joining me today. Scott: Thanks, it’s great to be here. Yuval: So who are you and what do you do? Scott: I’m Scott Aaronson, a computer science professor at the University of Texas at Austin, [...]

The Pinnacle Architecture, introduced by Iceberg Quantum, utilizes Quantum Low-Density Parity Check (QLDPC) codes to enable universal, fault-tolerant quantum computation with significantly lower physical qubit overhead than surface code-based designs. The architecture is constructed from modular Processing Units based on generalized bicycle (GB) codes and measurement gadgets that support generalized lattice surgery. This configuration allows for arbitrary logical Pauli product measurements in each logical cycle, facilitating the execution of Clifford+T circuits. By leveraging the high encoding rates of QLDPC codes, the architecture maintains connectivity requirements at a constant scale, ensuring that physical qubit interactions remain local to the processing blocks even [...]

The RIKEN Center for Computational Science (R-CCS) and Singapore’s National Quantum Computing Hub (NQCH) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance the integration of quantum computing with High-Performance Computing (HPC) infrastructure. This collaboration, formalised at the SCA/HPCAsia 2026 symposium in Osaka, establishes a three-year framework for joint research into middleware, system software, and workflow management tools. The initiative seeks to bridge the gap between classical supercomputing and quantum processors, utilizing the ASTAR Institute of High Performance Computing (ASTAR IHPC), the National Supercomputing Centre (NSCC) Singapore, and the Centre for Quantum Technologies (CQT) as core institutional partners. The technical core [...]

Pasqal and Welinq have expanded their strategic partnership to develop networked quantum computing architectures based on interconnected neutral-atom processors. The collaboration is centered on the InterQo project, a €4 million ($4.7 million USD) initiative supported by the Île-de-France Region and BPI France through the France 2030 (i-Demo Régionalisé) program. The project includes a bilateral industrial partnership between the two companies and a research collaboration with the Collège de France (JEIP group), focusing on quantum optics and light-matter interactions to resolve scaling limits inherent in standalone quantum processing units (QPUs). The technical objective is to transition from individual vertical scaling—currently capped at [...]

Classiq and the Quantum Information Research Support Center (QCenter) at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to establish a collaborative framework for quantum computing education and research in South Korea. The agreement, finalized on February 26, 2026, marks QCenter’s first partnership dedicated exclusively to quantum software. To initiate the collaboration, the organizations conducted Korea’s first public training session for the Classiq platform, attracting 50 participants from industrial, academic, and government research sectors. The partnership aims to cultivate a specialized workforce capable of driving the practical industrial application of quantum algorithms within the domestic ecosystem. The Classiq platform [...]

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has announced its financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. The company reported a transformative year characterized by triple-digit revenue growth and a significant expansion of its technology stack through the acquisition of gate-model expertise. The table below summarizes key GAAP financial metrics for Q4 2025 compared with the prior quarter (Q3 2025) and the year-ago quarter (Q4 2024). Financial and Strategic Momentum D-Wave’s fiscal year 2025 was marked by an annual revenue increase of 179% to $24.6 million, fueled largely by higher-margin quantum system sales. While Q4 revenue showed a sequential [...]

Xanadu has announced the proposed nomination of four independent directors to the board of its post-merger public company, Xanadu Quantum Technologies Limited ("NewCo"), as it moves toward listing on the Nasdaq and Toronto Stock Exchange. The nominees bring extensive experience in global corporate leadership, defense, and public finance: Glenda Dorchak, a seasoned global executive and current board member of GlobalFoundries and Cerebras. Eliot Pence, Founder of Dominion Dynamics and former growth leader at Anduril Industries. Michelle Reynolds, Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer at Reddit, Inc. The Honorable Heidi Shyu, former U.S. Under Secretary of Defense for Research & Engineering. They will [...]

Monarch Quantum, Inc. has been selected to deliver its integrated photonics Quantum Light Engines™ for NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder (QGGPf) mission. This mission represents the first planned orbital deployment of a quantum gravity gradiometer—a neutral-atom sensor capable of measuring minute gravitational variations to support subsurface mapping, climate monitoring, and GPS-independent inertial navigation. Monarch Quantum will provide these laser-optical subsystems to Infleqtion (NYSE: INFQ), which is leading the integration of the instrument’s quantum core. The technical challenge of space-based neutral-atom sensing involves maintaining sub-milliradian alignment stability and phase coherence under extreme launch loads and orbital thermal cycles. [...]

The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C) has announced the completion of a NIST-funded research program focused on miniaturizing and improving the efficiency of control and readout electronics for quantum hardware. The initiative, supported by $1.4 million in government matching funds awarded in 2022, addresses critical bottlenecks identified in the QED-C's "Control and Readout Electronics for Quantum Systems" roadmap. Participating member companies—Amphenol RF, Maybell Quantum Industries, Rigetti Computing, and XMA—developed hardware solutions aimed at reducing the physical footprint and thermal load of classical electronics that drive quantum processors. Technical results from the collaboration include advancements in both room-temperature and cryogenic infrastructure. Amphenol [...]
