Researchers at Aalto University have pinpointed thermal energy loss as a critical factor in qubit decay, affecting the coherence of superconducting qubits in quantum computers. Their straightforward experimental setup demonstrated how thermal fluctuations contribute to qubit instability, offering vital insights for enhancing qubit performance and stability. This discovery could significantly accelerate advancements in quantum computing technology. Meanwhile, Bullnet Capital has led an investment round in Inspiration-Q, a CSIC spin-off, to expand its team and consolidate its quantum-inspired algorithm software platform. The Data City has launched the Quantum Technologies Real-Time Industrial Classifications (RTIC) to map the UK's quantum tech economy, identifying 101 quantum companies with an annual growth rate of 22.8%. This initiative, developed with DSIT, GOS, and Innovate UK, aims to enhance understanding of quantum's economic impact and will expand to include AI and Advanced Materials over the next year. Additionally, Quantum Brilliance (QB) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) have announced a strategic collaboration to integrate QB's diamond-based quantum accelerators with ORNL's high-performance computing systems.
