The article examines the current state of quantum computing, noting that no quantum computer has yet performed a useful task despite ambitious promises from the Trump administration and Microsoft's Majorana 2 chip announcement, which has drawn criticism from independent researchers for overhyping incremental progress.
QuEra announces a roadmap to build a quantum computer with over 10,000 qubits and 256 error-corrected logical qubits by 2028, aiming to leapfrog current systems, with a more powerful successor by 2029.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced the Quantum Genesis initiative to develop and deploy the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computers by 2028, aiming to accelerate scientific discovery and maintain U.S. leadership in quantum computing.
A blog post recounting the nightmare of debugging a broken Windows build for the open-source quantum computing library 'stim', highlighting the complexity of cross-platform Python package building and dependency management.
A speculative discussion on whether AGI will emerge from LLMs or alternative technologies like quantum computing.
Lecture notes on the foundations of quantum machine learning, covering qubits, superposition, measurement, and the Bloch sphere.
A new peer-reviewed paper in Nature argues that Microsoft's claims of achieving a topological qubit with its Majorana 1 chip were not convincingly demonstrated, suggesting the observed signatures could be from quantum dots instead.
A scientist published a peer-reviewed critique in Nature arguing that Microsoft's quantum computing breakthrough claims are invalid due to basic Python errors and omitted data, suggesting the company's topological quantum computer is far from realization.
The White House issued an executive order shortening the deadline for transitioning to quantum-resistant encryption to 2030/2031, citing reduced cost estimates for quantum computers and the threat of harvest-now-decrypt-later attacks.
President Trump orders a national initiative to build a quantum computer for important scientific calculations.
A decade-long project aims to teach AI enthusiasts about quantum computing.
Quantinuum's 98-qubit Helios system achieves record single-qubit (99.9975%) and two-qubit (99.921%) fidelities with all-to-all connectivity, as reported in a peer-reviewed paper in Nature.
QSignAI is a production-deployed open-source platform that combines quantum randomness from a Toeplitz two-source extractor with an AI bot on Telegram to generate unique identity signatures, demonstrating a bidirectional relationship between artificial intelligence and quantum science.
Amazon and QuEra promise useful error-corrected quantum computing by 2028 with their Libra hardware, aiming to achieve a million quantum operations over hundreds of logical qubits for scientific applications beyond classical and NISQ computers.
This paper introduces an approach to map unitary operators into the latent space of an LLM, enabling quantum circuit synthesis and language-conditioned gate constraint specification, achieving competitive results on Clifford+T circuit synthesis.
C12 unveils Pick & Place, a patented nanoassembly process that precisely positions carbon nanotubes on quantum chips, dramatically increasing manufacturing throughput—50 devices assembled in four weeks versus one year previously—and enabling scalable multi-qubit integration.
The Aizpurua team at Multiverse Computing, Spain, proposes expanding pretrained large models with small quantum circuits. Adding just about 6,000 parameters to Llama 3.1 8B reduces perplexity by 1.4%, demonstrating the feasibility of quantum-circuit-assisted large model scaling.
This paper presents a QUBO-based model for coordinating departure sequencing and track allocation in railway short-term concentrated departure scenarios, evaluated using simulation and hybrid quantum algorithms. Results show quantum-enhanced methods reduce cost and delay under dynamic conditions.
OQC, JPMorganChase, and AMD have launched a research collaboration to develop a dedicated Quantum-AI Data Centre in London, integrating OQC's GENESIS quantum system with AMD-supported AI and classical computing for financial services applications.
Quantinuum is going public on the Nasdaq despite losing nearly $200 million last year, as investor demand for quantum computing stocks surges amid a wave of quantum IPOs in the US. The company is the fourth quantum firm to list in the US this year and the first to go through a traditional IPO process, drawing significant attention from investors and industry watchers.
