Quantum Tech

In the last few months, three of the world's largest tech giants made waves with their announcements in quantum computing. But what will the impact of Microsoft's Majorana 1, Google's Willow, and Amazon's Ocelot be once the dust has settled, and is it just big tech making strides in developing quantum computers?

VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland and IQM Quantum Computers have completed and launched Europe’s first 50-qubit superconducting quantum computer, now open to researchers and companies through the VTT QX quantum computing service.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has unveiled its inaugural quantum computing chip, named 'Ocelot', marking a significant advancement in the quest for practical, fault-tolerant quantum computers.

Socionext has announced a strategic partnership with Google Quantum AI.

Microsoft has unveiled Majorana 1, a quantum chip that promises a significant leap forward in the development of large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computing. The company claims that this breakthrough could accelerate the arrival of practical quantum computers from decades to just a few years - a stark contrast to the words of NVIDIA's CEO earlier this year.

CEA-Leti, in collaboration with Quobly, CEA-List and CEA-Irig, has reported developing a unique solution using FD-SOI CMOS technology that provides simultaneous microsecond readouts of tens of quantum devices, while reducing the readout power consumption by 10x and footprint by 2x.

IDTechEx explores semiconductor vs superconducting photodetectors and what comes next in quantum.

Naoris Protocol has launched the world’s first Post-Quantum DePIN Testnet, achieving over 2.5 million transactions and 500,000 users in its first week.

Long-time followers of the quantum computing market will know that interest in technology has continued to accelerate. Industry events are attended by an ever more diverse crowd of scientists, engineers, investors, supply chain partners, and prospective end users.

In a significant step toward large-scale quantum computing, researchers from the University of Oxford have successfully linked two separate quantum processors into a single, fully connected quantum computer.
