The big announcement this week that caught everyone by surprise was CEA and C12 announcing a 1M Qubit prototype by 2024 promising a wafer scale chip. This is a big jump from their previous research and commitments so we will see if we can or not run Shor’s algorithm there in no time. They join the 1M commitment group together with PsiQuantum and Google. QIP has released videos for most of their talks and can be accessed here QIP2022. Lots of very technical but interesting content. QunaSys and TerraQuantum raise new rounds (the latter completing theirs at 60M). Finally QuantumMachines acquires QDevil on the platform side, another bit on the consolidation path for this year. And there are more surprises to come.Lastly, Capgemini launched their quantum commercialisation report in which I had the pleasure to participate. You can download it from the link but the two biggest takeaways:43% of organizations working on quantum technologies expect them to become available for use in at least one major commercial application within the next 3–5 years23% of organisations either working or planning to work on QT
Correction on the text. TerraQuantum raises 75M and not 60M
