This Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up highlights a busy week where governments and companies ramped up efforts in quantum security, navigation, and computing power. Key stories include new post-quantum tools at RSAC and significant funding for national quantum programs. The developments show the field rapidly moving toward practical applications.
Oxford Ionics, recognized for its trapped-ion quantum computing systems, announced working together with Quanscient, a provider of multiphysics simulation software, and Airbus, an aerospace manufacturer, to develop quantum simulations for computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
In a significant move, Infleqtion, a prominent quantum information company, has revealed its comprehensive 5-year roadmap for advancing quantum computing to a commercial scale. The introduction of the Sqorpius program marks a significant step forward, accelerating the development of both hardware and software necessary for delivering practical quantum computing solutions.
