Quandela, a French startup, outlined its ambitious roadmap to achieve 50 logical qubits by 2028, leveraging its photonic quantum computing technology. QuEra Computing secured a strategic investment from Google Quantum AI to enhance its neutral atom technology, focusing on quantum error correction. In the UK, Nu Quantum introduced a qubit-photon interface to connect multiple quantum processors, addressing the scaling challenges of quantum computing. In Europe, IQM Quantum Computers was selected to deliver advanced quantum systems as part of the Euro-Q-Exa hybrid system, enhancing Europe's high-performance computing infrastructure. Additionally, new research from Harvard and Google Quantum AI demonstrated the potential of quantum memory to exponentially enhance computational power, suggesting that quantum advantage could be achieved sooner than expected. A new paper suggest a path for quantum computers to enhance LLMs, or at least make them less energy hungry.
