Around a year ago the UK created the new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology to realise the Government’s ambition to become a science superpower. Since creation and publication of the S&T framework (https://lnkd.in/eXJx_NCi) the UK has been setting out its stall for each of the five technologies assessed to be critical to British and global progress. This includes Quantum Technologies (QT) with the UK publishing its national strategy last March (https://lnkd.in/eZGSedH3), hot on the heels of Canada’s quantum strategy (January 2023, https://lnkd.in/eD7U_h8Z). The UK and Canada have strong QT ecosystems and a long history of collaboration. In June 2023, the UK and Canada signed a Statement of Intent on how this will develop. An example of joint academic research on quantum communications is the partnership between the University of Waterloo and Heriot-Watt University looking how to exchange quantum information via satellite.  In the Summer of 2023 the UK hosted two quantum summer schools at the University of Birmingham and the University of Bristol providing an opportunity for PhD students to network and identify collaboration operations. QT however is not confined to academic labs: the UK and Canada have strong commercial interests here too. In mid-February 2024, the National Research Council of Canada announced the results of a joint call with InnovateUK to develop commercial relationships (https://lnkd.in/evgR3FsV). The joint funding programme will support 11 projects develop quantum capabilities including leading organisations such as Rolls-Royce and Xanadu. The British High Commission, Ottawa is delighted to announce that Research Money will be hosting an online seminar to entitled “Quantum Tech Today and Tomorrow: Building on UK-Canada partnership”. Moderated by Dr Barry Sanders, Scientific Director for Quantum City Calgary the seminar will bring together Sir Peter Knight, Chair of the UK National Quantum Technology Advisory Board and Dr Stephanie Simms, Founder and Chief Quantum Officer at Photonic Inc. After initial remarks and discussion, there will be an opportunity for an audience Q&A session. To attend this free seminar please register online: https://lnkd.in/ehZK_3hv

So Cool! “We continue to show leadership in developing the foundational elements of our #digitalinfrastructure and making them applicable.

Great to have the U.S. Visit our country and QuTech, however if they believe the quantum cyberwar can be won by an open market approach where they buy quantum safety for critical infrastructure and systems, they may want to revise their strategy. The second world war was won by a strategy surrounding decoding information. The coming quantum cyberwar will be the same. We need a more long term vision and strategy, accompanied by large scale investments and quantum infrastructure to remain safe in the future.

The world-leading developments in quantum technologies at the University of Arizona are estimated to bring in around $220m to Southern Arizona. A recently published analysis of the economic impacts of quantum technologies has illustrated the vast financial benefits of these innovations to the area over the next ten years. According to the Rounds Consulting Group, which produced the report, UArizona, the lead institute and host of the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN), is actively or indirectly pivotal to this economic boost. https://lnkd.in/ej7pKMu4

As data-driven decisions surge, high tech industries are increasingly seeking cutting-edge computing solutions. The quest for innovation to tackle complex challenges, prioritizing performance and scalability, has never been more vital. Michał Podleś, member of our QUARC team , is currently conducting research at Eindhoven University of Technology. His work focuses on identifying performance bottlenecks and implementing novel strategies, such as offloading using Data Processing Units, to achieve high-speed line-rate computing. 📈 The aim? To revolutionize computation environments by generating reusable IP blocks from complex algorithms, ultimately enhancing latency and footprint metrics. But the journey doesn't end there! 🌟 During his time as QUARC DC in NVIDIA he will delve into critical areas like integrating Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) into HPC, ensuring not just speed but also security.
