QuamCore, a Tel Aviv–based deep-tech startup, has raised $26 million in Series A funding to advance its superconducting quantum computing architecture, bringing its total funding to $35 million. The round was led by Sentinel Global with participation from Arkin Capital, Viola Ventures, Earth & Beyond Ventures, Surround Ventures, Rhodium, and Quantum Leap, along with a $4 million non-dilutive […]
PsiQuantum named Roland Acra as Chief Business Officer responsible for the company’s business strategy, including commercial, global market expansion, quantum applications and software development. Acra previously held the role of Chief Technology Officer at Cisco until earlier in 2022. Prior to that, he was Senior Vice President and General Manager of Cisco’s Data Center Business […]
A new GSMA Post-Quantum Telco Network Taskforce has been established with a mission to help define policy, regulation and operator business processes for the enhanced protection of telecommunications in a future of advanced quantum computing. Organizers believe that without quantum-safe controls in place, sensitive information such as confidential business information and consumer data could be […]
The U.S. government has imposed an export restriction on NVIDIA’s A100 and forthcoming H100 integrated circuits to China (including Hong Kong) and Russia. The license restriction also covers NVIDIA’s DGX or any other systems which incorporate A100 or H100 integrated circuits, as well as any future NVIDIA integrated circuit achieving both peak performance and chip-to-chip […]
BT is testing a new hyper-sensitive quantum antenna technology uses ‘excited atoms’ to deliver over 100x greater sensitivity than traditional receivers. BT says Atomic Radio Frequency (RF) receiver technology represents a revolutionary new way of detecting radio waves that could find much weaker signals than conventional receivers. The receiver works by using a quantum effect […]
ADVA is playing a key role in three research and development (R&D) projects funded by Germany’s Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and aimed at building future-proof secure communication networks based on quantum key distribution (QKD): The DemoQuanDT project – coordinated by Deutsche Telekom, the project will demonstrate secure quantum key exchange over a […]
BT and Toshiba, along with EY launched the trial of a world first commercial quantum secured metro network. The infrastructure will be able to connect numerous customers across London, helping them to secure the transmission of valuable data and information between multiple physical locations over standard fibre optic links using quantum key distribution (QKD). The […]
Lumenisity Limited, a start-up based in Romsey, United Kingdom, announced a new generation of hollowcore fibre with the lowest attenuation of any hollowcore fibre reported to date. The company says its new product surpasses the attenuation of conventional germanium-doped single-mode fibre (SMF) in the O and C bands. Specifically, Lumenisity’s new Hollow Core Double Nested […]
The Government of Quebec and IBM announced a new partnership to further establish Quebec as a leading technology hub in the development of quantum computing, artificial intelligence, semiconductors and high-performance computing through the launch of the Quebec-IBM Discovery Accelerator. The Quebec-IBM Discovery Accelerator plans to make advances using computational technologies such as: Quantum computing: Leveraging […]
Researchers at Toshiba Europe have developed the world’s first chip-based quantum key distribution (QKD) system, potentially paving the way for much more secure networks. QKD systems typically comprise a complex fibre-optic circuit, integrating discrete components, such as lasers, electro-optic modulators, beam-splitters and fibre couplers. This project aimed to develop a QKD system on a single […]
BT and Toshiba are to build a quantum-secured metro network linking sites in London’s Docklands, the City and the M4 Corridor. The two companies’ initial focus will be to provide trials for enterprise customers who are carrying sensitive traffic (such as database backups) between sites, and to explore potential future offerings such as encrypted links […]
Deutsche Telekom announced that companies from regulated industries can now host data covered by data privacy in the Open Telekom Cloud, which is provided from Telekom’s data centers in Europe. All data remains in Europe. Deutche Telekom says these data centers are among the most secure and modern facilities of their kind in the world. […]
GlobalFoundries announced a new Silicon Photonics 45nm platform for combining RF CMOS and optical components on the same chip. The monolithic platform includes an innovative new feature, the first micro ring resonator (MRR) optical component in 300 mm wafer technology. GF said the new platform has passed critical technology milestones and is on track for […]
BT has conducted a trial of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) over hollow core fibre cable developed by Lumenisity, a spin out from Southampton University. Testing of Nested Anti-Resonant Nodeless Fibre (NANF) hollow core fibre kicked off this summer at the BT Labs in Ipswich. BT researchers operated a state-of-the-art QKD system using commercial equipment over […]
ADVA announced post-quantum cryptography (PQC) capabilities for its optical transport solution. The FSP 3000 ConnectGuard optical encryption solution relies on a hybrid key exchange system, combining PQC algorithms with classical encryption methods. It utilizes the traditional Diffie-Hellman protocol and combines it with a newly developed algorithm based on the quantum-safe McEliece cryptosystem. This enables it […]
Deutsche Telekom is expanding the reach of its Open Telekom Cloud with the opening of a huge data center campus in Amsterdam. The facility covers a total area of 21,000 square meters. DT said its servers and storage will operate under the highest security standards, with electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources. The two facilities […]
Colt Technology Services has successfully conducted a field trial of quantum-secured transport using ADVA’s FSP 3000 platform with ConnectGuard Layer 1 encryption technology. The trial, which was conducted over Colt’s deployed metro network in Frankfurt, utilized quantum key distribution (QKD) to super-encrypt live data traffic. ADVA’s partner ID Quantique also played a key role in […]
NTT Research has signed a collaboration agreement with Caltech to develop a high-speed Coherent Ising Machine (CIM). A CIM is a network of optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) programmed to solve problems that have been mapped to an Ising model, which is a mathematical abstraction of magnetic systems composed of competitively interacting spins, or angular momentums […]
