Researchers led by Tuomo Tanttu and Diraq have achieved over 99% fidelity in two-qubit gates using silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor quantum. Sandia National Labs has developed ultra-compact optical chips for quantum navigation, replacing bulky laser systems in atom interferometers. These chips enable precise navigation without GPS, addressing vulnerabilities like signal disruption or spoofing. QuDef launched Open Access SQOUT platform and NIST's post-quantum cryptographic standards. The collaborative efforts and strategic alliances, such as those between Fujitsu Australia and ANU (are they filling in for Microsoft leaving Australia?), are essential for driving innovation. At the same time, quantum companies express their concenrs about export controls.
