This week in quantum computing, Israel and the UAE collaborated to improve superconducting quantum processors, while Riverlane raised £15m for its quantum operating system. Quantum technologies continued to see record investments and progress on addressing the talent gap, as detailed in the McKinsey Quantum Monitor. Quantum researchers at the University of Toronto received a $200-million grant to support "self-driving labs" research, which combines AI, robotics, and advanced computing. Meanwhile, ParticleX and HKUST co-invested in quantum computing startup QUANTier. The industry also saw developments in quantum algorithms, such as recession prediction via signature kernels enhanced with quantum features and accelerated quantum Monte Carlo with probabilistic computers.The University of Illinois at Chicago researchers employed quantum physics to secure wireless devices, and NIST released a draft document on post-quantum encryption. Quantum scientists in Singapore achieved a state-of-the-art defect-free atom array. How do we know? They painted Singapore’s Merlion on it! (Neutral atoms continue taking the spotlight. I was honored to visit QuEra labs this week and I was blown away by their team and devices) SEEQC unveiled Italy's first quantum computing system. The German government has committed €3 billion to bring the country to the forefront of quantum technology.
