This week, significant funding raised by software startup Classiq and innovations by Quantinuum have further boosted the promise of quantum computing. Classiq managed to secure $110 million in a Series C funding round, while Quantinuum achieved a new record for Quantum Volume. Quantinuum also tapped into the US economic commitment of $1.2 trillion from Qatar, which included a $1 billion investment in US quantum technologies. QuEra Computing projects have reached the final phase of the Quantum for Bio Challenge. Meanwhile, a study by Intelligent Computing suggests silicon spin qubits have great potential for quantum computing. MicroAlgo Inc is integrating quantum computing with conventional neural networks, an accomplishment that may revolutionize computer vision tasks. The Quantum Optimization Working Group launched the QOBLIB, a platform designed to test quantum and classical algorithms. Lastly, The Quantum Insider explored the strategic plans of key players like Google and IBM for quantum computing, raising questions about the feasibility of their ambitious timelines.
