Israel announced its first domestically built 20-qubit quantum computer, a collaboration among the Israel Innovation Authority, IAI, Hebrew University, and Yissum. IonQ's acquisition of Qubitekk strengthens its quantum networking capabilities, aiming to create a quantum internet, supported by a $54.5 million contract with the U.S. Air Force Research Lab. Quantum Motion, in partnership with GlobalFoundries, achieved a breakthrough by integrating 1024 quantum dots on a silicon chip. SEALSQ Corp and WISeSat AG plan to launch satellites featuring post-quantum cryptography, enhancing secure communications. Research developments also made headlines, with Martin Ringbauer's team demonstrating verifiable quantum random sampling using trapped ions. Thibault Charpentier and Benjamin Sacépé's study on quantum phase transitions in amorphous superconductors could reshape future quantum technologies. Quantum simulators are gaining traction, with institutions like MIT and IBM exploring their potential to solve complex quantum problems.
