The US’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) is to integrate a cluster of Quantum Brilliance’s (QB’s) diamond-based quantum processing elements into its conventional supercomputers. “Parallel quantum computing holds potential for scientific discovery and industrial applications that require high-performance computing,” said ORNL director of quantum science Travis Humble. “Partnering with Quantum Brilliance allows us to explore effective integration with our existing ...

SBQuantum is celebrating a pair of new contracts with government space agencies: the European Space Agency (ESA) and the the Canadian Space Agency (CSA). The Canadian company – based in Sherbrook, southern Quebec – is developing quantum diamond magnetometers capable of providing readings from space. ESA For the ESA, the company has been contracted to evaluate the viability of using ...

This is what NASA’s Cold Atom Lab looks like. It’s aboard the International Space Station (ISS) and has recently demonstrated the use of a tool called an atom interferometer, the agency shares. 

Researchers in Oxford have demonstrated a chip-scale trapped-ion quantum logic IC that works with all-electrical drive and a magnetic field. Because it avoids the need for per-qubit lasers, it is more easily scaled to many qubits, according to Oxford Ionics, the company behind it, which is working with the Universities of Oxford and Oregon. Oxford Ionics is also claiming a ...

Diraq, which specialises in quantum computing based on silicon quantum dots, has raised $22 million in a Series A2 round led by Quantonation. Other investors included Main Sequence, Taronga Ventures, Uniseed and UniSuper, Co:Act Capital and UNSW, Sydney. “We look forward to partnering with them as we achieve our road map to deliver the world’s first fault-tolerant quantum computer,” says Diraq CEO ...

Riverlane, the Cambridge quantum error correction specialist, is collaborating with the French developer of fault tolerant quantum computers Alice&Bob, to integrate Riverlane’s quantum error correction (QEC) stack within the larger quantum computing system based on cat qubit technology which Alice & Bob is developing. Qubits, the core building blocks of quantum computers, are inherently prone to errors. Two errors disrupt ...

The quantum market is forecast by Yole Developpement to grow from $838 million in 2024 to $1,832 million in 2029, with a 17% CAGR 24-29. Several qubit technologies continue to vie for prominence, indicating the likelihood of a diverse array of approaches coexisting in the future. Every year witnesses the emergence of new players, with the collective hope of realizing ...

We're talking unmanned AiRanger aircraft, the USA-China Trade War, prospective quantum IMU components, and Redwire's Phantom VLEO (Very Low Earth Orbit ) spacecraft...

Diagonal hopping by electrons explains superconductivity in cuprate ‘high-temperature’ superconductors, according to researchers associated with the Flatiron Institute in New York. The team used a straightforward two dimensional model, the Hubbard model, and hundreds of hours of supercomputer effort to get results that are close to those found in experiments. “There was tremendous excitement when cuprate superconductors were discovered, but ...

A consortium has demonstrated quantum-based inertial navigation in an aircraft, the first such demonstration to be made public, according to the UK Government’s Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). By using quantum-based references in the accelerometers and gyros at the heart of an intertial measurement unit (IMU), it is theoretically possible to maintain absolute accuracy over time as an ...
