planqc, Saarland University, BMW and Infineon have launched a research project to combine quantum problem reduction with classical algorithms for industrial optimization.
G-QuAT at the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) and Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University have signed an MOU to strengthen cooperation on the social implementation of quantum technologies. OptQC’s CTO participated in the commemorative panel discussion.
Three studies reported methods to assess the reliability of quantum-computation outputs—using space–time codes, error mitigation, and cross-hardware validation—for problem regimes where classical computation cannot reproduce the answers.
Announced an enterprise optimization system that supports everything from modeling business problems to selecting compute resources and introducing and improving decision-making systems.
Q-CTRL outlines the requirements for commercializing quantum computers. Based on integration cases at RIKEN and Elevate Quantum, it highlights the importance of HPC integration, automated operations, and workforce development.
A quantum–classical hybrid method for reconstructing continuous functions encoded in quantum states from their leading Fourier coefficients has been published in a scientific journal.
OptQC’s photonic quantum computer MoQuren has begun operation at AIST G-QuAT. Plans include integration with ABCI-Q and free provision of an SDK with simulation support.
Alice & Bob has announced an integrated system for quantum error correction called “Helium.” It is designed to encode a logical qubit using 18 cat qubits and to integrate with HPC environments.
Microsoft has announced Majorana 2, which uses a new materials stack. Qubit lifetimes have been extended by more than 1,000× compared with the previous device, and the company aims for a scalable quantum computer by 2029.
Plans to deploy Sqale at IQMP aiming to demonstrate over 50 logical qubits and to advance quantum optimization applications for the energy grid.
