French startup Quobly secured €21M funding for its Q100T project, an initiative to construct a silicon quantum chip with 100 physical qubits. Quantum eMotion Corp has commenced manufacturing its first Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) chip. A new quantum algorithm transpilation optimisation method has been developed by a team from Jülich Supercomputing Centre, Virginia Tech, and Purdue University. Scientists at Griffith University and Nanyang Technological University have discovered how to measure and confirm randomness in quantum systems, potential leverage for enhanced security. Quandela launched Belenos, the most potent photonic quantum computer yet, facilitating faster AI computations and quantum machine learning. 'Women for Quantum' discussed the need for leadership shifts to remove barriers for underrepresented groups. This week also saw Rigetti founder and ex-CEO launch AI-quantum fusion startup Sygaldry, and QTech Systems exploring quantum solutions against AI music copyright theft.
