Australian Researchers Say Quantum Microscope That Can Non-invasively “See” Living Cells
In a major scientific leap, University of Queensland researchers have created a quantum microscope that can reveal biological structures that would otherwise be impossible to see. This paves the way for applications in biotechnology, and could extend far beyond this into areas ranging from navigation to medical imaging. The microscope is powered by the science […]
7 Quantum Computing Companies in San Francisco & Around [2024]
So, this is the topic of today’s post, quantum computing companies located in San Francisco or close enough to warrant inclusion. Now, though we include quantum computing companies with headquarters in Palo Alto and San Mateo, those in Berkeley and Fremont are given a shout-out, too. What we’re trying to get at is, though the […]
KETS Quantum Security Raises £3.1 Million to Keep Data Safe
KETS Quantum Security has raised a £3.1 million ($4.38 million US) round to bring to market hardware to protect data from a new generation of cyberattacks that will use quantum computers to break through all existing encryption protections. Progress in the field of quantum computing has been advancing over the past decade. With that progress, […]
Qu&Co, Airbus Partnership Takes Flight: Team to Investigate Quantum Computational Methods for Flight Physics Simulations
Qu&Co, a leading European quantum computational software developer, has signed a collaboration agreement with Airbus for research, development and testing of quantum computational methods for flight physics simulations relevant for the European aerospace and defence sector. The collaboration follows the recent publication by Qu&Co together with its research partner the University of Exeter (UK), of novel […]
TQD Exclusive: ICEoxford Delivers Customized Cooling Solutions for Quantum Industry
In all the excitement and debate about quantum computing, it might be easy to ignore an unsung hero of the quantum industry, without which there arguably would be no quantum computer, let alone a quantum computer industry — Cryogenics. Chris Busby and Paul Kelly founded ICEoxford in 2004. The co-founders built their company around customization, […]
Entangled Quantum Memories Bring Researchers a Step Closer to The Quantum Internet
During the 90s, engineers made major advances in the telecom arena spreading out the network to distances beyond the cities and metropolitan areas. To achieve this scalability factor, they used repeaters, which enhanced attenuated signals and allowed these to travel farther distances with the same features such as intensity or fidelity. Now, with the addition […]
Something From Nothing: Novel Type of Qubit Offers QC Encouragement
Absence of Electrons Researchers at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria), led by Daniel Jirovec from the Katsaros Group at IST Austria in close collaboration with researchers from the L-NESS Inter-university Centre in Como, Italy, have discovered a new type of qubit in a place where there is nothing. In quantum mechanics, […]
C12 Quantum Electronics Closes $10 million Seed Round
C12 Quantum Electronics today announces the closing of a $10 million seed round comprising funds from 360 Capital, Bpifrance (Digital Venture Fund), Airbus Ventures, BNP Paribas Développement, and Octave Klaba (OVHcloud), with additional grants from Bpifrance and the Ile-de-France Region. Founded in January 2020 by Matthieu and Pierre Desjardins, alongside scientists – Takis Kontos, a […]
