Quantum Tech

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. The study suggests that quantum technology could unlock exceptional capabilities in robotics and has the potential to lay the foundation for machines with intelligence comparable to humans.

Oxford Ionics has announced it is working together with Quanscient and Airbus to develop quantum simulations for computational fluid dynamics.

Naoris Protocol has unveiled its Post-Quantum powered Decentralised Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for cybersecurity and digital trust.

For controlling prosthetics, the body’s signals must be detected to move the artificial limb. At the moment, implanting electrodes is the most common technique but this is invasive and electrodes can deteriorate or move position. A completely different approach is now developed by the multidisciplinary consortium QHMI in Stuttgart, Germany, using quantum sensors to detect the incredibly small and fast nerve signals.

The Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) at Forschungszentrum Jülich received a 100-qubit quantum computer from Pasqal in mid-November.

Seven leading businesses have joined Digital Catapult’s latest quantum innovation accelerator to fast track the development of solutions and accelerate the practical application of deep tech.

SemiQon has announced the launch of the world’s first transistor capable of functioning efficiently in cryogenic conditions.
