This week, OVHcloud made headlines by unveiling its Quantum Cloud service, set to launch with Pasqal's 100-qubit quantum computer by 2025, and plans to integrate up to six quantum computers by 2027. Israel's burgeoning quantum sector, despite a funding downturn, remains resilient with $32 million raised by mid-2024, driven by innovative companies like Quantum Machines and Classiq Technologies. Additionally, quantum technology's military applications are gaining traction, with institutions like DARPA investing in quantum sensors for secure navigation, highlighting the sector's strategic importance. In corporate developments, IonQ introduced its Quantum OS and Hybrid Services suite, aiming to integrate quantum computing into enterprise IT infrastructures, while Equal1 achieved a milestone with a silicon qubit array demonstrating high fidelity and speed. Research advancements include a noise-aware reinforcement learning agent for quantum error correction, and a novel quantum leaky integrate-and-fire neuron model for neuromorphic computing. NVIDIA and AWS also announced significant collaborations, integrating NVIDIA's AI and quantum computing technologies into AWS's infrastructure. AWS in turn published their roadmap for PQC which is a great path for companies who need to kickstart their efforst there.
