Israel Innovation Authority Allocates $32.9M for National Quantum Computing R&D Infrastructure

The Israel Innovation Authority has issued a NIS 100 million (€28.8 million / $32.9 million USD) call for proposals to build a national quantum computing R&D infrastructure. The facility must integrate at least three different quantum processing technologies and begin delivering services within 12 months. It will serve as Israel’s central hub for technology evaluation, benchmarking, algorithm development, and application testing. Leading Israeli companies across control, software, error mitigation, and hardware layers are positioned to engage with the new resource.

Alice & Bob Launches Helium Multi-Cat-Qubit Platform for Third-Party Quantum Error Correction Experiments

Alice & Bob has made its Helium platform available to third-party organizations, marking the first multi cat-qubit system offered externally for quantum error correction research and experimentation. The compact 18-qubit system integrates noise-biased cat qubits with degree-2 connectivity and delivers bit-flip times exceeding one hour along with 94.2% Z-gate fidelity in 26.5 nanoseconds. Backed by €130 million in total funding and a new $50 million Paris laboratory, the company is advancing a clear roadmap toward a 100-logical-qubit Graphene quantum computer by 2030. The platform’s design aims to reduce physical qubit overhead for fault-tolerant quantum computing by up to 200 times compared with conventional superconducting approaches. Researchers can now access this hardware-efficient architecture through a unified control interface for collaborative experiments.
