The Quantum Insider
Making Quantum Technology accessible through media, news, insights and data
Putting quantum to work.
This week, you'll notice a trend. Companies are working together to find ways to use quantum computing and other forms of quantum technology to solve real-world problems.
英伟达 , Rolls-Royce and Classiq Technologies are studying how quantum computing could be used to better understand computational fluid dynamics in jet engines.
Insilico Medicine believes there is potential quantum advantage in the use of quantum AI to tackle problems in generative chemistry.
And SandboxAQ successfully tested a quantum navigation system for the U.S. Air Force.
We're all looking for technological breakthroughs to usher in the quantum era. But it may be an application breakout that kick starts this new era.
Speaking of which, James Dargan put together a great primer on some of these applications.
Somehow James gets these tough assignments while I try to think of clever musical references.
Here's the Isley Brothers with their musical call to quantum: Work To Do.
Have a great weekend!
For U.S. folks -- have a happy, safe Memorial Day weekend.

Quantum Quotes
Quantum has work to do. And quantum startups are working with some of the world's biggest companies to find use cases. NVIDIA, Rolls-Royce and Classiq said that quantum computing can be used to make jet engines more efficient -- something that could have a positive impact on the global economy and environment.
“Applying both classical and quantum computing methods directly to the challenge of designing jet engines will help us accelerate our processes and perform more sophisticated calculations.” -- Leigh Lapworth , computational science fellow at Rolls-Royce
VeriQloud announced the successful completion of a €1.9 million funding round led by Quantonation .
“We believe that with its original technology, Veriqloud has the potential to be a key player in quantum networks, especially for the last mile, or for secure data storage with quantum technologies.” Olivier Tonneau , Quantonation partner
Quantum Research
Schrodinger's cat is a big kitty. In a study by a ETH Zurich-led team of researchers successfully prepared, observed, and controlled cat states of a 16-microgram mechanical resonator. By manipulating the size of these superposition states, they established a framework to investigate the boundary between quantum and classical behavior, offering insights into the differentiation between both worlds.

SandboxAQ today announced it has successfully tested its advanced, quantum sensor-based magnetic anomaly navigation system with the U.S. Air Force (USAF). The test flights, conducted last week at Travis Air Force Base by the 60th Air Mobility Wing, were part of an ongoing readiness and modernization effort to explore and develop an Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (APNT) solution to augment the Global Positioning System (GPS). Such solutions will provide uninterrupted navigation in situations where GPS is unavailable or intentionally denied or spoofed.
IBM is setting its sights on a 100,000-qubit quantum-centric supercomputer within a decade, according to a statement from the company and an updated roadmap. The company will be teaming up with the University of Tokyo and the University of Chicago to help develop the 100,000-qubit system.
NVIDIA, Rolls-Royce and Classiq, a quantum software company, announced a quantum computing advance aimed at bringing ever-increasing efficiency to jet engines. Using NVIDIA’s quantum computing platform, the companies have designed and simulated the world’s largest quantum computing circuit for computational fluid dynamics (CFD) — a circuit that measures 10 million layers deep with 39 qubits.
The quantum revolution could introduce computers that operate a million times faster, quantum internet to distribute information more securely, and quantum engineering approaches that yield sustainability innovations such as carbon capture and energy harvesting. Now, with a $55 million investment in people and lab space, the University of Michigan will help drive these developments.
Bluefors , a leading Finnish manufacturer of cryogenic measurement systems, has today announced its acquisition of Rockgate, a distributor of cryogenic equipment, based in Tokyo, Japan. With the acquisition Bluefors will establish direct sales and service presence in the Japanese cryogenics technology market and expand its global footprint beyond Finland, Germany, the Netherlands, and USA.
Sony Innovation Fund has become the latest high-profile investor to back Quantum Motion, a UK-based quantum computing scale-up founded by Professor John Morton, University College London (UCL), and Professor Simon Benjamin, Oxford University. Sony Innovation Fund is joining the second close of the company’s funding round, announced in February 2023, which raised over ￡42 million in equity funding from some of the world’s leading quantum and technology investors.
As a relatively new field (at least commercially), quantum computing (leveraging quantum mechanics) has the potential to change outcomes in many industries and fields of science. There are a number of applications for quantum computing that are particularly promising.
