Quantum Alliances - Building the Industry On August 1st, QuEra Computing Inc. announced the launch of the QuEra Quantum Alliance Partner Program, composed of 19 industry partners. who intend to “identify and collaborate with leading technology and solutions companies to deliver unparalleled quantum computing experiences to organizations worldwide…[the] initiative aims to accelerate the development, deployment, and utilization of neutral-atom quantum computers to solve the world’s most challenging computational problems." QuEra's alliance is the latest in a series of quantum industry alliances focused on the adoption, innovation, regulation and advocacy of #quantumtechnologies. In today's substack, I explore the benefits of alliances and list five #quantum alliances active today. https://lnkd.in/gSQ8M93S Quantum Industry Canada Lisa Lambert Thierry Botter European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) QuEra Computing Inc.Yuval Boger Quantum Strategy Institute #quantumtechnology #quantumforbusiness #quantumcomputing #technology #business Image source: Brian Lenahan/Midjourney

Quantum Networking...

Quantum is a technology that could be used “to transform the world”. Our Quantum Engineer, Todd Tilma, recently shared his expertise in the field of quantum computing and discussed the exciting future potential of this cutting-edge technology with BCCJ - The British Chamber of Commerce in Japan members and guests. The panel covered the potential of quantum, its business applications, and future collaborations and initiatives.

What do we say to the #quantumComputing pirate? Not today, not quantum advantage today. (But perhaps soon!) Hamamatsu Photonics Europe has developed a scientific camera, the ORCA-Quest, that is gaining traction in quantum computing due to its unique "photon-number resolving". Quantum security startup Q*BIRD B.V. secured €2.5M in funding to expand its quantum security product, Falqon. Christopher Ferrie published and released for free his new book: "What You Shouldn't Know About Quantum Computers" aiming to demystify quantum computing for a broad audience (in line with his company Quokka for training purposes). Riverlane and Alice & Bob have partnered to integrate Riverlane's quantum error correction stack within Alice & Bob's quantum computing system. The big investment news: Singapore is set to invest close to S$300 million over the next five years into quantum technology research and talent, as part of the National Quantum Strategy initiative.

The UK is making significant strides in advancing its national quantum strategy through Quantum Missions. Our occupier, Oxford Ionics, stands at the forefront of driving the industry forward, through its development of a patented electronic qubit control (EQC) system to control qubits inside trapped-ion quantum processors. Read the insightful comments from Chris Ballance, Oxford Ionics’ CEO in the article, where he underscores how these missions signal the UK government's commitment to catalysing and growing quantum technologies in the UK.

Are we facing a Quantum winter given the decrease in private investment into start-ups and scale-ups after years of growth? Or are public investments making a difference? Is the associated economic value decreasing or growing? What region is leading in patents or talent for #QuantumComputing, #QuantumSensing, or #QuantumCommunication? Last week, I provided a sneak preview into McKinsey’s Quantum Technology Monitor 2024 (QTM24), which will be published at the end of April. You can find the new issue of the QTM24 as well as much more quantum tech content here: https://mck.co/RiseQuantum As you may know from previous years, the #QTM24 will provide: - An overview of the global quantum technology (QT) players and investment space, updated annually with the latest data, including for quantum computing (QC), quantum communication (QComm), and quantum sensing (QS). - An overview of the maturity of the QT ecosystem and QT adoption in the broader industry context. - Deep dives into technical advancements. Thank you for having us again at #Q2BParis.

"𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠-𝐓𝐞𝐫𝐦 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐐𝐮𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐮𝐦 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐋𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬 𝐁𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭". (BCG Study 2024) The long-term outlook for quantum computing remains optimistic, projecting economic value creation of $450 billion to $850 billion by 2040, despite current limitations. Progress is evident in qubit counts, investments, and government support, although near-term expectations need adjustment, prompting some companies to reassess their quantum technology strategies.

📣 Last week our portfolio company Qblox secured a $26 million Series A. 👉 Chad Rigetti, who led the initial investment for QDNL Participations in Qblox says: "Qblox has a unique combination of rapidly expanding market, a stellar and highly technical founding team, and an already established track record of strong revenue growth. Their impact on the quantum sector and advanced computing is just beginning.” This is one of the biggest Series A rounds worldwide for quantum technology this year and marks the largest investment round ever for a quantum company in The Netherlands The company’s founders, Niels and Jules, combine a strong academic foundation with the entrepreneurial drive that is essential to building a successful university spinout. Quantum computing, sensing, and networking systems require electronic control technology for their development and operation. Qblox has established itself as one of the leading providers of these control systems, and is poised to capitalize on the growing adoption of quantum technologies across a range of industries.
