A public photonic-quantum company and University of Alberta chemists are pairing quantum algorithms designed for future error-correcting hardware with classical benchmarks on light-activated cancer drug molecules (photosensitizers).
SDT, a South Korean quantum equipment maker, will build Open Quantum Design's open trapped-ion processors, quantum chips that use charged atoms in vacuum, for global research and defense buyers.
Empire State Development's $60M RFP for up to four quantum hubs requires every winner to give outside startups open access to shared labs. Proposals close Oct. 14.
Yonsei University (South Korea)'s 120-qubit Nighthawk (IBM's next-generation quantum processor) swap beats its 127-qubit Eagle (IBM's prior chip) on the metric that decides whether a chemistry workload actually runs.
A Royal Navy trial with Saab and UK quantum-clock startup Aquark used atoms chilled near absolute zero as a precise time reference to keep a ship's radar coherent after GPS timing was cut, the first GPS-denied sea trial on the public record.
Quantinuum filed its first quarterly results as a public company, with $8M in revenue against $2.1B in cash and a $563M operating expense line driven mostly by IPO-related charges.
Why a peer-reviewed benchmark — not a vendor demo — is the first auditable scoreboard for claims that quantum computers can beat classical ones.
The constrained XML dialect, paired with IBM's Docling parser, names where charts and headlines begin so models don't re-infer structure on every PDF and slide.
An arXiv preprint traces how a shared control chain can corrupt a superconducting quantum chip, surfacing clipping, crosstalk, and leakage in simulation before fabrication.
Helios, a third-generation trapped-ion quantum computer, will sit inside a U.S. Oracle Cloud data center alongside GPUs and HPC, with a managed preview in the coming months.
