quantum-computingAlfred University and Classiq Launch Quantum Computing Initiative - GlobeNewswire
ALFRED, N.Y., July 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alfred University, the State University of New York College of Ceramics at Alfred University, and Classiq today announced a joint quantum computing initiative using Classiq’s quantum software engineering platform to support engineering education, applied energy systems research and preparation for the emerging quantum workforce. The initiative brings together Alfred University’s applied engineering, ceramic, glass, and materials engineering, and energy systems expertise with Classiq’s high-level quantum software platform, enabling students and researchers to build quantum programs without starting from gate-level circuit design. With Classiq’s platform, Alfred University is making this powerful technology accessible to students and researchers without requiring deep coding expertise, accelerating the bridge between theory and real-world application. A Media Snippet accompanying this announcement is available by clicking on this link. Quantum computing is an advanced field of computing that uses the principles of quantum physics to solve highly complex problems by processing information exponentially faster than classical supercomputers. Unlike traditional computers that process information linearly using 0s and 1s, quantum computers can analyze vast numbers of possibilities simultaneously. This allows them to solve complex engineering, energy grid and materials science problems that are far beyond the reach of standard computation. Its industry applications include the energy, pharmaceutical and financial sectors; materials science and battery development; and artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. At Alfred University, Junpeng Zhan, assistant professor of renewable energy engineering in the Inamori School of Engineering, is introducing students to quantum computing through tools that help them focus on concepts, algorithms, and engineering problems. “I introduced the Classiq platform (as an instructional t

IBM to Commission One of India’s First Physical Quantum Computers in Amaravati by September 2026 IBM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna has confirmed that the greenfield city of Amaravati will host one of the first two physical IBM quantum computers deployed on-shore in India. Targeted for full operational commissioning by September 2026, the hardware deployment represents a key anchor transaction for the state of Andhra Pradesh’s Quantum Valley initiative. The on-premises installation aims to position the regional capital as the country’s primary deep-tech innovation hub, shifting India’s role in the sector from purely a remote consumer of cloud-routed compute blocks to a localized sovereign developer of physical quantum hardware. [ Amaravati Quantum Valley Deployment ] Target Hardware ──► IBM Quantum System Two architecture configured with a Heron processor. Processing Density ──► 156-qubit layout optimized for low-gate error rates and high fidelity. Deployment Timeline ──► Fully commissioned and integrated into the local tech park by September 2026. The upcoming hardware pipeline follows a trilateral memorandum of understanding (MoU) executed between the Government of Andhra Pradesh, IBM, and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS). Subject to standard international export licensing frameworks and definitive technical agreements, the site is planned to house an IBM Quantum System Two configured with a 156-qubit Heron quantum processor. According to Krishna, the commercial realization of quantum computing across pharmaceuticals, advanced AI, financial fraud analysis, and materials science is roughly two to three years away from delivering market advantages, making early infrastructure ownership critical for developing localized intellectual property.

quantum-computingIQM: Oak Ridge National Laboratory Forecasts 4 Quantum Computing Shifts for 2026
Oak Ridge National Laboratory identifies shifts in quantum computing capabilities, with access to IBM Quantum superconducting transmon systems offering up to 156 qubits through the Quantum Computing User Program. This represents the highest qubit count resource currently available within the program, alongside alternative architectures from Quantinuum, which provides superconducting transmon systems with up to 54 qubits. Beyond simply offering hardware, the QCUP Operations model proactively supports users through its User Assistance Group, providing technical support, training, documentation, and tools. Researchers at ORNL expect these resources and support structures will enable evaluation of emerging technologies and engagement with a growing quantum ecosystem. Compilation (high-level or ideal algorithm → standard circuit) • Turn an algorithm into an equivalent quantum circuit with standard gates • Think: “Write the recipe in actual steps” This year will see a significant push toward practical quantum algorithm implementation, moving beyond theoretical designs to executable code on available hardware. The crucial step of compilation, translating a high-level quantum algorithm into a sequence of standard quantum gates, is receiving focused attention as researchers strive to bridge the gap between algorithmic intent and physical realization. This process is not merely a technical detail; it’s the equivalent of writing out the precise steps of a recipe for a quantum processor to follow, demanding optimization to minimize errors and maximize computational efficiency. Experts anticipate that advancements in compilation techniques will be a key determinant of near-term quantum advantage, allowing complex algorithms to run effectively on increasingly powerful quantum systems. Simply having qubits is not enough; the ability to effectively program them is paramount. Quantinuum also contributes to the QCUP landscape with its own superconducting transmon systems, reaching 54

quantum-computingA new vision for quantum computing takes a big step forward, with new grant - YaleNews
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 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 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 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, 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 Engineering).“To take full advantage of this capability, we will need the help of a
