Companies including PsiQuantum, Xanadu, ORCA Computing, Quandela, QuiX Quantum, Quantum Source, Nu Quantum, Q.ANT, and Sparrow Quantum are developing photonic quantum computing hardware and related technologies. Photonic platforms continue to … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers from Sungkyunkwan University, the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and the University of Washington identified a molybdenum–oxygen-vacancy defect in zinc oxide that theoretical simulations indicate could serve as a high-performance spin qubit for quantum computing, communications, and sensing. The proposed defect combines bright visible-light emission, a low Huang-Rhys factor, and an estimated spin coherence … Read more

Insider Brief WISER and E.ON completed a research collaboration exploring hybrid quantum machine learning approaches for electricity demand forecasting. The project evaluated quantum models using an anonymized dataset of 103 residential customers on both simulators and real quantum hardware. Researchers found that projected quantum kernel models improved forecasting accuracy against selected classical baselines under near-term … Read more

Insider Brief Quantum computing’s greatest engineering challenge extends beyond designing better qubits to discovering and manufacturing the materials capable of sustaining quantum behavior. Every leading hardware platform—including superconducting, semiconductor, trapped-ion, neutral atom, photonic, and topological systems—is built upon a distinct materials philosophy, with each balancing trade-offs between coherence, controllability, scalability, and manufacturability. Material imperfections at … Read more
