News and analysis about Quantum Computing trends and applications best practices
The Riken research institute in Japan aims to bring quantum computing technology into real-world use by around 2025 through integration with the Fugaku supercomputer. Riken will also work with an alliance of companies including Toyota Motor, Hitachi, and Sony Group to promote the use of computing infrastructure that melds quantum technology with supercomputers. This hybrid approach of integrating quantum computing and supercomputers has gained traction in Japan and could help Japanese...
Researchers in China claim to have made a significant breakthrough in quantum computing by figuring out how to break the RSA (Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) public-key encryption system using a quantum computer that is soon to be publicly available. RSA encryption is still used in older enterprise and operational technology software and in code-signing certificates, and if broken, would allow a malicious adversary to generate signing keys or decrypt messages. This could enable them to snoop on internet...
Pasqal, a French company, has launched Pulser Studio, a "no-code development platform for neutral atoms quantum computers." Pulser Studio allows users to design and simulate pulse sequences for quantum processors without needing to know how to code. The platform includes a built-in emulator that can simulate sequences for small systems in the browser, and will be regularly updated and integrated with real quantum processors through Pasqal's cloud platform. It is open and free to corporate and...
Oxford Ionics, a company founded in 2019, has raised £30 million in Series A funding from quantum and tech investors, including Oxford Science Enterprises and Braavos Investment Advisers. The company specializes in designing and scaling trapped ion quantum computing technology, which has consistently outperformed other technologies in tests. Oxford Ionics' technology holds world records for the highest performance quantum operations, longest quantum coherence time, and highest performance...
The Israel Innovation Authority is investing an additional 115 million shekels (about $32.5 million) in quantum computing research. This funding will be used to establish a new quantum computing consortium that includes defense companies and startups. The goal of the consortium is to determine which technology is better, trapped ions or superconductors, and to create a working Israeli quantum computer within three years. The consortium is part of a larger government effort to promote research...
For Richard Murray, CEO of ORCA Computing - the only UK-based quantum computer company using photonic technology similar to China, "This is a significant benchmark in the rising maturity and power of quantum computers. The announcement also shows that photonics is now a leading contender in the geo-political race to get to a useful quantum computer. We are currently investigating the claims made, but if they turn out to be true, this results will surpass the ‘ supremacy' claim by...
Atos introduces “Q-score”, the first universal quantum metrics, applicable to all programmable quantum processors. Atos’ Q-score measures a quantum system’s effectiveness at handling real-life problems, those which cannot be solved by traditional computers, rather than simply measuring its theoretical performance. Q-score reaffirms Atos’ commitment to deliver early and concrete benefits of quantum computing. Over the past five years, Atos has become a pioneer in quantum applications through its...
Archer recently attended The Quantum Computing Summit as part of London Tech Week. Representatives from the UK Government, the deep-tech industry, and academia provided insights to strategies being employed to capture the early-stage commercial potential of quantum computing – the scale of which is rapidly becoming difficult to contain. The quantum computing economy is real and growing IBM (NYSE: IBM) is a headline sponsor of London Tech Week, with Bob Sutor, VP IBM Quantum Ecosystem...
