Team Diraq has announced it has successfully demonstrated consistent and repeatable operation with above 99% fidelity of two-qubit gates in the SiMOS (silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor) quantum dot platform.

LASER COMPONENTS has announced its range of photodetectors designed for quantum applications.

The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalised its principal set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from a quantum computer.

Project ARCTIC brings together 36 partners from industry, academia and leading RTOs to establish a complete and comprehensive European supply chain for and develop scalable, reliable, innovative control infrastructure for cryogenic quantum processors. The EU is funding the project with over € 11 million for a duration of three years.

Researchers from North Carolina State University (NC State) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a protocol to enhance the capabilities of quantum sensors. This new protocol allows sensor designers to fine-tune quantum systems to detect specific signals, resulting in sensors that are significantly more sensitive than traditional ones.

The path to advancing quantum electronics is taking some intriguing twists, thanks to Kink states discovered by Penn State researchers.

Quantum technology exists in unsuspecting places, including cameras, computers, and smartphones. While quantum technology research has existed in various forms for over a hundred years, the 21st century saw an increased effort towards commercialisation, and the market segments of quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum communications emerged.

Faster medical scanners, secure communication networks, and next-generation navigation systems are set to be realised through quantum technology, thanks to £100 million in government funding for five new research hubs.

Imec, a global research and innovation hub in nanoelectronics and digital technologies, has announced the demonstration of high quality 300mm-Si-based quantum dot spin qubit processing with devices resulting in a statistically relevant, average charge noise of 0.6µeV/ÖHz at 1Hz.

Quandela and Welinq has announced a transformative partnership for the quantum industry. This collaboration combines Quandela's expertise in photonic quantum computing with Welinq's pioneering full-stack quantum interconnects technology to provide custom quantum links for photonic quantum computers, setting new industry standards and paving the way for clusters of interconnected and error-corrected photonic quantum computers.
