Microsoft has halted its quantum computing research in Australia, impacting collaborations with institutions like the University of Sydney and affecting numerous researchers. IBM Quantum has achieved a significant milestone by executing a complex quantum simulation using 13,858 CNOT gates on the IBM QuantumHeron processor. This involved 112 qubits and approximately 154 million circuit "shots”. IQM Quantum Computers has demonstrated a 99.9% 2-qubit gate fidelity and a qubit coherence time of 1 millisecond, validated through interleaved randomized benchmarking. Eni has launched Eniquantic to leverage quantum computing for energy efficiency and sustainability. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Energy and DARPA have signed an MOU to enhance quantum computing initiatives, supported by a $140 million federal investment in Illinois. While Singapore invests S$100M. SSH Communications Security has launched Quantum-Safe NQX 3.0, and SPTel has partnered with ST Engineering, Nokia, and Fortinet to introduce quantum-safe services. Quantonation's investment in Pioniq Technologies highlights the growing interest in quantum materials for sustainable energy storage solutions.
