Big week of announcements. With Nvidia GTC event and APS summit. At the former, Jensen meets with some key Quantum CEOs but instead of “fixing” the problem it causes another sell off in the market. That is even with the announcement of the Accelerated Quantum Research Center in Boston, bridging HPC with quantum to tackle critical challenges including companies such as QuEra. Olivier Ezratty writes a fantastic piece on the state of quantum and how to read the market among other great topics. That pairs fantastically with Preskill’s kenote at APS (also below). Marking 100 years of quantum (not necessarily computing, but mechanics). At the same time, many companies used the APS summit to present their results. Including Microsoft to add more light to their Majorana announcement, without much success. Skepticism keeps growing.QCI is the first comany facing potential legal action due to their claims: Pomerantz Law Firm filed a class action lawsuit against them arguing that the company misled investors. With many public companies making claims about quantum advantage and other developments that are challenged, if those claims become material disclosures the SEC may have a saying in the matter.On the research side, researchers led by Amana Liaqat introduced an HPC-based QAOA framework that automates partitioning and batch job generation without compromising optimization performance. Qunnect’s Mehdi Namazi achieved room-temperature polarization entanglement for long-distance secure communication. Equal1 showcased its silicon-based Bell-1 quantum server. MicroCloud Hologram Inc. unveiled Continuous Variable Quantum Neural Networks for large-scale data, suggesting a new frontier in quantum AI. Delft Circuits introduced a 256-channel High-Density I/O system to simplify wiring for up to 64 qubits, and Cloudflare launched a quantum-safe zero-trust platform addressing future cryptographic threats. Orange Quantum Systems released the closed beta of its OrangeQS Juice operating system to boost qubit stability.
