Quantum Tech

IC’Alps, a pioneer in ASIC/SOC design and supply chain management and SEALSQ Corp, a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, have announced that they are strengthening partnership to face growing demand in the segment.

Google has announced a new quantum chip, claiming it can solve a problem in five minutes that would take the world’s fastest supercomputers ten septillion years—10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years—to complete.

Quantum computing is entering an era of more focused investment, more commercial contracts, and more competition. Many start-ups are transitioning to scale-ups with growing teams, ambitions, and revenue streams. As quantum computing capabilities are becoming more sophisticated, so has engagement from research institutions and supercomputing centers who are investing tens of millions for on-premises installations of the latest machines.

Nokia recently announced that the company, along with SK Broadband, have deployed a leased line network for Korea Hydro Nuclear Power (KHNP) to improve data security.

Keysight Technologies and the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have collaborated on a groundbreaking research project, exploring RF power at cryogenic temperatures.

Arctic Instruments, a spinout of VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has raised €2.35 million in funding for the research, development and commercialisation of its superconducting microwave amplifier technology.

Crypto Quantique has upgraded its QuarkLink IoT device security platform with a hybrid post-quantum cryptographic algorithm.

A recent study, ‘Quantum Robotics: A Review of Emerging Trends’, explores the possibility of quantum computing and artificial intelligence merging to enable robots to have human-level intelligence.
