Researchers at Caltech have engineered a neutral atom device with 6,100 ultracold caesium atom qubits, surpassing the previous 1,180-qubit record from Atom Computing (similar tech as QuEra as well). They demonstrated stable qubit arrays and tested 2D laser-based qubit transport, though full computation has yet to be shown. This sets a new benchmark for quantum system scale. William Kretschmer et al. at Quantinuum demonstrated unconditional quantum advantage using Quantinuum’s H1-1 trapped-ion processor, achieving 99.941(7)% median two-qubit partial-entangler fidelity. They constructed a task with provable quantum-classical information separation, achieving “quantum information supremacy” without relying on unproven complexity assumptions, directly evidencing advanced entangled state manipulation Quantum Computing Inc closed an oversubscribed $500 million private placement of common stocl. Krown Technologies & Quantum eMotion completed development of Qastle, the first quantum-safe hot wallet integrating Quantum eMotion’s ultrafast Quantum Random Number Generator and post-quantum encryption for blockchain applications. IonQ demonstrated quantum frequency conversion for trapped ion photonic qubits to the 1550 nm telecom band with negligible state change, enabling quantum information transmission over existing fiber infrastructure. IonQ claims this positions them for leadership in quantum networking and distributed computing. Qilimanjaro & Qblox announced a strategic partnership to accelerate hybrid digital-analog quantum computing. The collaboration combines Qblox’s quantum control hardware with Qilimanjaro’s processors and software, targeting scalable and versatile hybrid quantum architectures.HSBC & IBM delivered the first quantum-enabled algorithmic trading application using live production-scale data, with a claim of improving prediction accuracy by up to 34% in European corporate bond trading versus classical models. This establishes empirical evidence for quantum advantage in financial services. Then at the same time IonQ claims 64 Algorithmiq Qubits while Quantinumm shouts “what the hell is AQ?”
