Cracking cryptographic protocols is a well-known impact area for fault-tolerant quantum computing. Clearly it is important to estimate just when quantum computers will impact cryptography.

A 1960s nuclear research lab in the North of England will host a new quantum computing facility under plans drawn up by a Silicon Valley technology company.

PsiQuantum is to set up a research hub at the Daresbury Laboratory in Cheshire, using the facility’s state of the art cooling systems to develop its technology.

DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has announced that it has selected the companies that will receive funding under its Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing (US2QC) program.

The funding will be provided by the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) through the Air Force Research (AFRL) Laboratory located in Rome, New York. This lab has been designated as the Quantum Information Science Research Center for the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Space Force.

Has the United States fallen behind in the development of quantum computing to it's competitors? Is it even possible to build a general purpose one-million qubit quantum computer? Where and how could this technology be used? Join us in this week's episode of Emerging Tech Horizons with Dr. Arun Seraphin and Dr. Pete Shadbolt, Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer at PsiQuantum, as they discuss the potential applications of quantum computing.

In this episode, Pete Shadbolt, the Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of PsiQuantum, discusses how quantum computing works, its real world applications, and Pete's story of moving to America to start PsiQuantum

PsiQuantum has teamed up with STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory to develop the next generation of high-power cryogenic modules which will be necessary to scale photonic quantum computers to millions of qubits. PsiQuantum will work with Daresbury Laboratory experts specialized in large-scale cryogenic infrastructure to develop advanced cryogenic systems.

We recently announced a new approach to vastly increasing the efficiency of running quantum algorithms. We call it the Active Volume Architecture. The key insight is that if you have access to certain hardware capabilities then you can obtain remarkable reductions in the running costs of commercially useful quantum algorithms (for example, reducing running costs by around 50x for factoring algorithms).
