Central New Mexico Community College Demonstrates Quantum Technician Training Model at National Workshop

Central New Mexico Community College hosted a Quantum Educators Workshop in early June 2026, introducing its Quantum Technician Bootcamp to 45 faculty members from across the United States. The 10-week program requires no math or science prerequisites and has already led to graduates being hired by quantum companies in the Albuquerque area at salaries around $80,000. Developed in partnership with Sandia National Laboratories, the bootcamp is part of the Elevate Quantum Tech Hub’s workforce efforts covering New Mexico, Colorado, and Wyoming. Workshop participants explored hands-on curriculum in areas like quantum information systems, Qiskit, quantum key distribution, and atomic quantum systems to adapt for their own institutions. By sharing this replicable model, CNM is helping to build a broader talent pipeline for the growing commercial quantum industry.

DuoKey Launches Quantum Risk Score to Prioritize Enterprise Post-Quantum Cryptography Migration

DuoKey SA has introduced the Quantum Risk Score, a free and auditable tool that provides organizations with a 0-100 composite score of their cryptographic exposure to quantum threats based solely on publicly observable signals. The assessment generates a board-ready report featuring a complete cryptographic inventory, a prioritized migration matrix, regulatory gap analysis across major frameworks including NIST and CNSA 2.0, and a 36-month migration roadmap. This launch at VivaTech Paris comes as enterprises face tightening timelines for post-quantum cryptography adoption, with the NSA CNSA 2.0 mandate approaching in 2027 and NIST planning to deprecate RSA-2048 and ECDSA by 2030. The solution requires no internal credentials or system access, making it an accessible first step for leadership teams seeking to understand and address their quantum readiness.

QTREX Produces Single-Build Cryogenic Chip Carrier for Quantum Processor Interface

QTREX Quantum Ltd. has successfully produced a cryogenic chip carrier fabricated through its proprietary single-build AME process. The component was developed from a design supplied by one of the world’s largest U.S.-based quantum computing companies. This milestone extends QTREX’s technology into the processor-interface layer, supporting higher channel counts, lower thermal load, and improved signal integrity. QTREX plans to present the chip carrier sample during private meetings in Boston around Quantum.Tech World 2026.

D-Wave Quantum Unveils World’s First Gate-Model Quantum Computing Simulator for Error-Aware Programming

D-Wave Quantum Inc. has introduced the world’s first gate-model quantum computing simulator tailored for error-aware programming. The simulator supports up to 21 qubits and incorporates dual-rail technology to deliver error detection data along with real-time control capabilities. It features both ideal and hardware emulation modes, utilizing Monte Carlo methods to simulate realistic quantum dynamics and error propagation. Developers can access it starting in September 2026 through the Leap cloud platform as part of new Starter and Premium quantum development bundles.
