Insider Brief Quantum computing investment has moved through several distinct phases. The hype-driven cycle of 2018-2020, when capital flowed toward anything with “quantum” in the pitch, gave way to a more selective period in 2022-2024, when investors demanded evidence of technical progress. Then came 2025. According to QED-C’s State of the Global Quantum Industry 2026 […]

Listen to this story A new vision for quantum computing takes a big step forward, with new grant 0:00 / 0:00 A Yale-led project — aided by a national community of researchers — has reached the next step in its effort to develop the first large-scale, error-correcting quantum&nbsp;computer.More than a year ago, the ERASE project — Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage — was one of six pilot projects awarded $1 million grants by the National Science Foundation (NSF). Those pilot projects all drew upon the expertise of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory, an online group of researchers in computer applications and algorithms, software, and systems&nbsp;architecture.On June 24, the NSF announced a new, $4 million grant that will support ERASE’s second phase of work and is expected to advance efforts to expand the quantum workforce in New&nbsp;Haven.In this new phase, ERASE will develop an initial blueprint for the hardware and software necessary for its unique approach to quantum computing, the project’s leaders say. It will also expand its efforts to develop a quantum tech workforce in Connecticut, along with industry partner D-Wave Quantum, which in January acquired the Yale start-up company Quantum Circuits,&nbsp;Inc.At the heart of the project is a new way to tackle error correction, featuring “erasure flag” quantum bits that identify errors when they occur, making them easier to fix, said Yale’s Steven Girvin, the principal investigator for ERASE.“The particular hardware architecture we are developing with D-Wave Quantum is quite different from existing architectures because the dual-resonator, or erasure, qubits can raise a flag when the dominant error occurs,” said Steven Girvin, who is also Sterling Professor of Physics in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FAS) and professor of applied physics at Yale School of Engineering and Applied Science (Yale&nbsp;Engineering).“To take full advantage of this capability, we will need the help of a
