IBM has simulated clasically MIT/QuEra experiments, like many others did with their own experiments last year, suggesting that a 192-qubit simulation could be feasible. Together with a new research from NYU that promises classical better simulation for quantum circuits. What a race!The UK government is funding £45 million into the nation's quantum sector, aiming for a quantum-enabled economy by 2033. 30 of those millions are for 7 testbeds by March 2025 awared to Rigetti, QuEra, Oxford Ionics, Infleqtion, ORCA, Quantum Motion and Aegiq (That is diversification!). Infleqtion has also released this week their 5 year roadmap promising commercial advantage by 2028.Researchers from the University of Tokyo, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, and Palacký University Olomouc have demonstrated a new approach to constructing a photonic quantum computer. Multiverse Computing and Single Quantum have won a $1.4 million contract with the German Aerospace Center's DLR Quantum Computing initiative. The Linux Foundation has launched the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance to address security challenges posed by quantum computing.Rice University researchers have discovered a 3D crystalline metal that can 'lock' electrons in place. Riverlane's Steve Brierley predicts a significant shift in quantum computing by 2024, with a potential unlocking of $1.3 trillion across various industries by 2035.
