Matt Kinsella breaks down the complex world of quantum computing in simple terms. At its core, the technology involves building 'quantum cores' containing millions of neutral atoms. Unlike charged ions, these neutral atoms float freely within vacuum cells. By using lasers to interact with these atoms, their unique quantum mechanical properties are leveraged. Each atom acts as a qubit. These qubits can be put into superposition and entangled, forming the fundamental logic gates for quantum computers. This innovative approach paves the way for advancements in clocks, ultra-precise sensors, and quantum computing itself. #QuantumComputing #Technology #Innovation #ScienceExplained #FutureTech

Really excited to see Rigetti Computing join the Global Quantum Industry Group as a Founding Member. Having one of the leading names in quantum hardware involved is another great step as we continue building a community focused on the technologies and infrastructure that will underpin the future of quantum computing. Looking forward to hearing from Dr. Subodh Kulkarni at the Quantum Computing Infrastructure Summit EU this October at imec HQ. If you're working in the quantum ecosystem and are interested in getting more involved, whether through GQIG Membership, speaking at the Summit, or showcasing your company, feel free to drop me a message. Always happy to have a chat about what's available. Looking forward to seeing many of you in Leuven!

Some of the fastest quantum hardware in the world just joined GQIG. We're proud to welcome Rigetti Computing as a GQIG Founding Member, and its President & CEO, Dr. Subodh Kulkarni, to the keynote stage at the Quantum Infra Summit EU 2026. Rigetti is a pioneer in full-stack quantum computing. Its systems run on superconducting qubits, widely regarded as a leading modality for maturity, scaling and speed, with gate speeds of 50 to 70 nanoseconds, roughly 10,000x faster than trapped-ion and 100x faster than neutral-atom systems. In 2026, the company deployed Cepheus-1-108Q, the industry's largest multi-chip quantum computer, built from twelve 9-qubit chiplets fabricated in-house at Fab-1. Dr. Kulkarni brings more than 30 years in the semiconductor industry, most recently as CEO of CyberOptics through its acquisition by Nordson, with earlier leadership roles at Imation, 3M and IBM. At GQIG EU 2026 he sets out Rigetti's vision for scalable, superconducting quantum computing, and where the infrastructure goes next. 📅 1–2 October 2026 📍 imec HQ, Leuven, Belgium Register your interest now: https://lnkd.in/dVRRRSxK #QuantumComputing #DeepTech #QuantumInfrastructure #Rigetti #GQIG #imec Amy Leong, Salah Nasri, Kevin Dei, Jubed Miah, Mia Chen, Elsa Medin, Michelle Yan, Sephora Maio, Germantas Kneita, Christine Dunbar, Anastasia Marchenkova, Denise Ruffner

"To reach one million qubits, quantum computing will have to leave the lab and enter the fab". Tristan Meunier, Chief Scientific Officer, and Joseph Mikael, VP Applications, discuss the industrial implications of that transition in their latest article published in Annales des Mines magazine. ✅ Yield, process control, Cryo-CMOS integration and semiconductor manufacturing are not secondary considerations, and become part of the technology itself. ✅ Quobly was built around that premise. Since the end of 2024, we have been co-designing our technology with STMicroelectronics on industrial 300 mm FD-SOI processes, supporting a product roadmap from our first cloud-accessible quantum computer at the end of 2026 to progressively larger systems designed for HPC deployment and fault-tolerant quantum computing. 👉 The article (in French) is available in the August 2026 issue of "Réalités Industrielles" - Annales des Mines : https://lnkd.in/e3EKdxBs Gregoire Postel-Vinay,François Gerin, Frédéric Barbaresco, Fabrice Dupuy

German startup SAXON Q has introduced a diamond-based quantum computing system designed to operate at room temperature without cryogenic cooling. https://www.saxonq.com/ https://lnkd.in/g5v_zPXe The technology uses nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in synthetic diamonds as physical qubits, allowing the systems to operate at approximately room temperature and use conventional electrical power. https://lnkd.in/gmbQeSQn SAXON Q says its SXQ128 system contains up to 128 physical qubits across multiple processing cores and is designed for deployment in standard computing/data-center environments. Unlike superconducting quantum computers that typically require sophisticated cryogenic infrastructure, diamond NV systems could potentially be much smaller, simpler and cheaper to deploy. However, the practical significance of SAXON Q's 128-qubit figure still requires careful evaluation, particularly regarding connectivity between cores, two-qubit gate performance, error rates and independent benchmarking. If those challenges can be overcome, room-temperature diamond quantum computers could make quantum technology substantially more accessible for applications outside specialized quantum-computing laboratories. ---------- **June 2026 SXQ128 delivered to DLR for edge research A field-upgradeable 128-qubit system installed at the German Aerospace Center to explore quantum acceleration for autonomous navigation and sensing. 🔗 Source: SAXON Q ✓Read and learn more: https://lnkd.in/gxFd8xcm ✓Peer-Reviewed Scientific Publication: 2021: https://lnkd.in/gFKTspt3 2018: https://lnkd.in/g9EhcYAZ #Factify #QuantumComputing #FutureTech

While an incredible step in the right direction, but this is exactly why the quantum-security conversation cannot be reduced to “when will a cryptographically relevant quantum computer arrive?” - which of course is the most common response. The SAXON Q room-temperature, diamond-based architecture points toward something potentially more consequential. That quantum computing is becoming deployable infrastructure rather than laboratory-bound. If quantum systems progressively lose their dependence on enormous cryogenic environments, a significant part of the trajectory then changes. Essentially we get: Smaller footprint. Lower operating cost. Data-centre deployment. Edge deployment. Eventually, Quantum Computing-as-a-Service becomes economically accessible to far more organisations, then for retail use and potentially far more adversaries. This is where the chaos begins to appear and cracks will surface - especially for financial infrastructure, the risk calculation evolves. Quantum Chain was born around the assumption that quantum capability will become increasingly distributed, accessible and commoditised. The threat is not simply Shor’s algorithm breaking RSA/ECC one day, but much much more. It is the convergence of quantum compute, AI-assisted cryptanalysis, Harvest-Now-Decrypt-Later and increasingly sophisticated attacks against implementations, standards and cryptographic entropy itself. Entropy matters enormously here. Strong algorithms sitting above predictable, compromised or poorly generated randomness can still produce weak keys. A encryption wrapping your old signature system is not a complete or even sustainable solution for long. In a world of AI + quantum compute, the entire cryptographic lifecycle matters: Entropy → key generation → signatures → transmission → storage → rotation → algorithm agility. This is why financial institutions should be building quantum-secure parallel infrastructure before quantum computing becomes a cheap cloud service, not beginning the architecture discussion afterwards. Definitely not taking the direct advice and implementing solutions becoming obsolete by the time theyre live and entering a cycle of constant encryption updates. The quantum threat does not need one spectacular machine guys. It needs compute to become accessible.
