QuEra will release a new roadmap to commercial quantum advantage in 2026. They presented progress to commercial quantum advantage over regular computers. They gave a talk at the Q2b 2025 conference (quantum to business). Brian WangBrian Wang is a Futurist Thought Leader and a popular Science blogger with 1 million readers per month. His blog …
Diamond color centers are a well researched field, but using them at scale as qubits was out of reach until recently. Their Quantum Transistor device (patent pending) resolves the charge stability issue and few more hurdles to enable using color centers as qubits. They presented at the Q2B 2025 conference. They could scale to 250,000 …
Publicly traded quantum companies, particularly the pure-play innovators, have delivered insane stock price runs over the past 1-2 years despite revenues that barely register. IonQ (IONQ), Quantum Computing (QUBT), Rigetti Computing (RGTI), and D-Wave Quantum (QBTS) dominate as publicly traded companies. The market caps collectively exceed $50 billion but with revenues totaling under $100 million. …
Quantum Brilliance’s is developing diamond quantum accelerators that will have over 50 qubits and outperform CPUs/GPUs of comparable size, weight and power in important applications. Quantum Brilliance believe their diamond integrated chips can be mass produced in the millions and can work along side regular chips as useful accelerators and sensors. They could also have …
Finnish company Semiqon has developed a transistor that operates with virtually zero heat dissipation. They have made silicon-based quantum processors to make future quantum computers more affordable, scalable, and sustainable. SemiQon has achieved new milestones in addressing the core challenges with scalability of quantum computers. Using its ultra-low-power cryogenic CMOS, SemiQon has now been able …
David Reilly and his University of Sidney team developed a silicon chip that can control spin qubits at milli-kelvin temperatures. That’s just slightly above absolute zero (-273.15 degrees Celsius), the temperature at which – theoretically – matter ceases moving. Experts think that spin qubits (where information is encoded onto the magnetic direction of single electrons) …
Alice & Bob, a global leader in the race for fault-tolerant quantum computing, announced today at GTC Paris the ongoing integration of the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform with Dynamiqs. This combination outperforms the most widely used libraries today, accelerating the simulation of complex quantum dynamics by up to 75x, on early benchmarks. Alice & Bob has …
IONQ plans to have a fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029 and they are acquiring Oxford Ionic for a about $1 billion. Some other important points: – Achieved 99.99% physical fidelity TODAY – Still on track for machine benchmarked at AQ64 this year – 50x density on single chip by going from 1D to 2D ion …
Quantum computing breakthroughs from IonQ, D-Wave, QuEra, Alice & Bob, and others in the last six months, with dates, achievements, and their impact on error-corrected, scalable quantum systems. IonQ May 7, 2025, IonQ Demonstrated a 12% speed improvement over classical computing in a real-world simulation (heart pump modeling with Ansys). This shows practical quantum advantage …
Two weeks ago, D-Wave System announced a scientific breakthrough using their quantum annealing computers systems. They published in the esteemed journal @ScienceMagazine. Their newest annealing quantum computer outperformed one of the world’s most powerful classical supercomputers in solving a complex magnetic materials simulation problem with relevance to materials discovery. The new landmark peer-reviewed paper, Beyond-Classical …
Join Curt Jaimungal talks to Harvard physicist Jacob Barandes and Scott Aaronson. Jacob Barandes claims quantum mechanics can be reformulated without wave functions. Barandes has a new formulation of quantum mechanics which is considered a serious proposal by Scott Aaronson. Quantum computer theoretician Scott Aaronson gives his perspective. Barandes’ “indivisible” approach challenges the standard Schrödinger …
