This week in quantum computing, we saw significant advancements in hardware and infrastructure. Oxford Quantum Circuits is installing its quantum computer in Equinix Data Centers, with plans to offer Quantum Computing as a Service to businesses worldwide in late 2023. SemiQon, a spin-off from VTT, is developing more affordable and scalable quantum computers using new semiconductor qubit technology. SEEQC unveiled a digital chip capable of operating at temperatures colder than outer space, making it compatible with cryogenic quantum processors. In the UK, the government presented its National Quantum Strategy, emphasizing the nation's commitment to revolutionizing the quantum landscape over the next decade.In research and applications, quantum computing is proving its potential in a variety of areas. An algorithm has been deployed to study amine reactions for carbon capture using quantum computing, showing promise in the development of practical carbon capture technologies. In cryptography, Cloudflare has announced the inclusion of post-quantum crypto for free, while recent claims of AI breaking post-quantum encryption (KYBER) were debunked. Researchers at Tsinghua University developed a scalable and programmable quantum phononic processor based on trapped ions, which could enable better performance on complex problems. As the industry continues to grow, it's evident that the race toward practical and scalable quantum computing solutions is heating up.
