This week was Q2B in California, one of the leading evetns in quantum and where many companies decide to make their announcements. That is why this newsletter is packed with news. D-Wave together with Hyperion published a report on the state of quantum, more details below. Qiskit launches their ecosystem for open source contributors. Xanadu opens registrations for QHack2023, one of the most exciting hackathons. Is the end of Moore’s law? Intel does not think so and plans for a trillion transistor chips by 2030. Q-Ctrl releases Fire Opal promising 9000x performance on quantum algorithms. Their claim is that error supression and error mitigation can help achieve advantage in the NISQ era. Jack Rupansky writes an excellent article on what he (the industry!) would really need from harware (spoiler: more transparency, higher fidelity and 48 any-to-any connectivity). IQM and Keysight sign collaboration MoU, and IQM presents the “Unimon” the new type of qubit that is supposed to be less error-prone than the Transmon. US Senate pases the bill on PQC. Finally a couple of articles on “the other” hot topic: How do we train or re-skill our workforce to be quantum ready.
