IBM Ventures Invests $500 M In AI & Quantum Computing

IBM Ventures advances enterprise technology with AI and quantum computing.

IBM Ventures, IBM's strategic investment arm, is shaping corporate technology with more than $500 million USD in funds to encourage innovation and deliver returns. The venture arm helps creative founders driving digital revolution across industries with a focus on early-stage AI and quantum computing companies. This dual focus shows IBM's belief that these technologies will transform industries like artificial intelligence is.

A Strategic Enterprise AI Bet

IBM Ventures has invested heavily in AI since 2024, when it launched a $500 million Enterprise AI Venture Fund. The focus on enterprise adoption rather than consumer-facing apps shows a shift from augmentation to automation in enterprise AI. According to IBM's head of venture capital, Emily Fontaine, the company is seeing a rise in the need for agents in applications and new tools for engineers to refine models as AI becomes more embedded in software layers.

IBM's AI strategy invests in entrepreneurs creating automation software, domain-specific AI tools, and platforms that seamlessly integrate models. This method assumes organisations would utilise multiple AI models rather just ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Fontaine calls this a “fit-for-purpose AI strategy,” where AI programs are tailored to certain tasks.

This approach is highlighted by major AI investments.

Not-Diamond: IBM Ventures invested in this dynamic AI model routing business to prepare for multi-model AI. Their multi-model enterprise AI Prompt Adaptation solution enables smarter, more effective AI systems that can adjust in real time. AuthMind: IBM helped this startup raise early funding for their observability-driven technology, which protects agentic, non-human, and human AI identities in cloud and hybrid environments. AuthMind also offers its identity security platform to IBM Security Verify clients through an OEM agreement. OX Security, supported by IBM Ventures, uses AI to filter out noise from standard AppSec solutions to assist teams find and fix real-world vulnerabilities and secure software supply chains. Unstructured: IBM Ventures invested in Unstructured, which enables no-code pipelines for content extraction and loading into Watsonx.data and AI-ready data from unstructured files easy. The investment aims to accelerate Large Language Models (LLMs) data preparation technology. Other AI investments include Hugging Face to promote open-source AI, HiddenLayer to protect AI, Synthetaic to use its RAIC platform to extract insights from image data using AI, Writer for enterprise generative AI, Rohirrim for RFP AI automation, Reality Defender for AI-generated media detection, and Ceramic.ai for faster and cheaper AI model training for businesses. Single Store and IBM are also cooperating to use Single Store DB's vector database functionality for IBM Watsonx.ai.

This AI focus is similar to IBM's $100 million Watson fund. IBM's Watsonx AI Labs and Watsonx suite are being used to better integrate corporate activities.

Pioneering Quantum Frontier

Quantum computing follows artificial intelligence as IBM Ventures' second strategic pillar. IBM expects quantum, the “next frontier for computation,” to generate huge profits. This brave investment was made while quantum startup financing is growing, notably in the first half of 2025, with more applications and proof-of-concept projects.

An important aspect of IBM Ventures' quantum strategy is helping entrepreneurs build tools to improve quantum hardware, notably by addressing error rates that distort quantum computer calculations.

QEDMA: Israeli company QEDMA raised $26 million in Series A financing for its mistake mitigation software, which adapts to each device's noise profile to increase performance without increasing qubit costs. QunaSys: IBM Ventures' investment in this Japanese business is developing quantum computing application services and user-friendly material research and chemical simulation tools. Quantinuum: IBM and Quantinuum are also working to grow the Quantum ecosystem. The goal is to create an ecosystem that can maintain IBM hardware, such its mainframes and AI systems. IBM aims to connect its hardware to the developer community and software stack to boost business adoption. IBM's quantum strategy involves academic partnerships, which is unusual. QEDMA's founders were from Technion and Hebrew University, showing how basic research may help businesses. IBM and the University of Chicago are also developing the National Quantum Algorithm Centre and Duality quantum accelerator. Through early talent and intellectual property access, these relationships aid market research findings.

Connecting entrepreneurs with IBM clients and academia for proof-of-concept (POC) trials is the primary priority right now, even if quantum computing may not be commercialised for years. These projects demonstrate how quantum approaches can be applied to chemistry, materials science, finance, and logistics. Client demand for these experiments is rising significantly.

Capital-Plus Model and Long-Term Alignment

IBM Ventures uses finance and IBM's global network and expertise to help firms thrive utilising a “capital-plus” approach. With a 90% portfolio engagement rate, the venture arm includes 20+ active enterprises. Startups benefit from this cooperative model:

Innovation: Collaborating to bring reliable technology to clients faster. Accessing networks with cutting-edge capabilities for collaboration. Accessing IBM's professional network and market repute. Leading thought: Brand recognition and market awareness. IBM Ventures also noted the departures of Variantyx, Gem Security, Lightspin, and PerciseDX. Wiz's acquisition of Gem Security shows how its cloud detection and response (CDR) platform redefined cloud security operations.

Fontaine says IBM Ventures is “hyper focused on getting into the best companies,” then will help them scale through focused commercial growth and global ecosystem integration. IBM prioritises long-term alignment over short-term benefits, building strong relationships with startups and helping them grow via smart business development. This robust team of industry leaders and deep expertise develops confidence with founder and investor communities to secure the best transactions.

IBM Ventures invests in and supports early-stage AI and quantum computing companies to build the ecosystems and infrastructure of the next generation of enterprise technologies.

Quantum RydKernel Solution To Concentration Problems In QML

Quantum RydKernel

The novel quantum kernel approach overcomes exponential concentration.

Researchers at the Institut quantique, Sherbrooke created RydKernel, a quantum kernel method (QKM) that overcomes exponential concentration (EC), a major barrier to quantum machine learning (QML) adoption. This breakthrough advances quantum computers' complicated data analysis capabilities in the near future.

Pervasive Exponential Concentration Issue

Kernel techniques have garnered attention in QML as a way to gain a quantum edge in data analysis. These methods turn classical data into quantum states and calculate their "kernels," or inner products, to determine similarity. The convex training landscape for kernel-based models guarantees finding the optimum parameters, however this assumes quantum hardware can extract kernel values.

However, exponential concentration substantially challenges this idea. Quantum kernel values from a range of input data can become exponentially concentrated (in qubit count) towards a fixed value. This indicates that off-diagonal kernel elements, which are necessary for data point differentiation, decrease exponentially as qubits increase.

EC has serious consequences:

Trivial Models: Training with a polynomial number of measurements, the realistic limit for contemporary devices, yields no substantial input data information from kernel value statistical estimations. This creates a simple model where input data does not affect unseen input predictions. Poor Generalisation: The trained model functions trivially on unknown data but “hard-codes” training labels during optimisation, providing poor generalisation. Instead of adding training data points, exponentially increase measurement shots to overcome this problem. Similar to Barren Plateaus: Barren plateaus (BPs) in variational quantum algorithms (VQAs)—where gradient magnitudes drop exponentially, making training impossible—are similar to EC in quantum kernels. Four key sources contribute to EC, according to research:

Expressivity of Data Embedding: Excessively expressive embeddings provide generally random and orthogonal quantum states, reducing kernel values. Global Measurements: EC can affect fidelity kernels that use global measurements even with low expressivity and entanglement. Entanglement: Highly entangled encoded states can concentrate, especially when paired with local quantum kernels like projected quantum kernels. Hardware noise, especially in polynomial-depth circuits, can degrade information and cause encoded states to concentrate on the maximally mixed state.

RydKernel: Concentration-Free Solution

In response to these issues, Ayana Sarkar, Martin Schnee, Roya Radgohar, and their collaborators designed RydKernel, a QKM that is naturally free from exponential concentration but difficult to represent classically. Current analogue quantum kernels can use this method.

RydKernel operates on the Rydberg blockade effect, a weak ergodicity-breaking many-body dynamics in coherently driven neutral atom arrays. The frequency shift (detuning) of a nearly-resonant driving laser applied to strongly interacting atom registers is encoded with classical data. The system usually starts in Néel. Kernel measures fidelity between developed quantum states: Importantly, the encoding time is integer multiples of the system's resurrection time to avoid concentration effects from global observable measurements.

Analytical and empirical validation

Researchers provide significant evidence of RydKernel's inattention:

Analytical Toy Model: An approximation RydKernel toy model indicates that its variance will never decrease exponentially with system growth. Numerical Simulations: Numerous computer simulations confirm these analytical predictions. The RydKernel mean, which stays near 1, and its variance, which quadratically scales with system size, prove exponential concentration does not exist. Real Use: Practicality After encoding for T > 2.0 T_rev, RydKernel was able to classify the standard IRIS dataset with over 85% accuracy on both training and test datasets. This shows that RydKernel can do well on machine learning tasks, even though it is not yet better than conventional methods.

Showing Quantum Advantage

Any promising QML algorithm needs classical simulability. The researchers demonstrate that conventional computers cannot simulate RydKernel beyond modestly large systems.

The fidelity computation uses Rydberg-blockaded dynamics' highly entangled states. Simulating these dynamics is computationally prohibitive even with advanced methods like MPS-based TEBD. Rydberg-blockaded dynamics from the |Z2> beginning state exhibit volume-law entanglement at short durations. This requires a bond dimension that grows exponentially with qubits, beyond classical systems' computational and memory limits. A 45-qubit system, the size of which is possible with neutral atom technology, would require about one terabyte of memory and a lot of processing effort to simulate. For classical simulation, RydKernel in 2D would be much harder to implement.

Near Future Hardware Readiness

For contemporary NAQCs, RydKernel is ideal. These platforms are known for:

Configurable connectivity. Hi-fidelity quantum processes and readout. Decoherence for long periods. The protocol can be implemented using Loschmidt echo. This process involves preparing the |Z2> state (using semi-local laser addressing or analogue methods), embedding the first data point through a forward evolution, applying an approximate time-reversed evolution for the second data point (using a global Z gate), and measuring in the computational basis. Experimentally, the SWAP-test process reduces time-reversed evolution.

Importantly, RydKernel's experimental timings fit NAQC's capabilities. With a 500-ns preparation time and a 200-ns global Z gate lifetime, a minimum implementation with two data encoding revivals takes 3660 ns. This comfortably fits inside the normal 4500 ns coherence time (T2) for such devices. Rydberg-blockaded dynamics withstand disorder and finite-temperature effects.

Outlook

This study advances by showing a QKM that solves exponential concentration despite being experimentally feasible and conventionally unsolvable. Quantum many-body dynamics' unique properties are essential for QML. Researchers will expand the method to 2D neutral atom arrays, where classical simulations are harder, and study how quantum many-body scars and fragmentation affect kernel performance.

RydKernel's creation provides tips for non-concentration-based quantum embeddings. It suggests that using quantum procedures that leverage specialised quantum structures and symmetries rather than classical methods may be the best way to get considerable quantum advantage.

Topological Quantum Field Theories: New TQO Class Of Models

Topically Quantified Field Theories

New Quantum Realm Order: Innovative Models Promise Stronger Quantum Computing

A recent finding in theoretical physics has revealed a new class of models that display behaviours previously thought to be outside the typical descriptions of topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). This is challenging the conventional understanding of topological quantum order (TQO). This innovative discovery offers a compelling vision for quantum computing's future with quantum memories that are more thermally robust than surface codes.

Understanding TQFTs

Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) have long been thought to describe topological quantum order (TQO). Their properties, especially anyon excitations, are similar to TQO-exhibiting systems. It is generally known that a microscopic model with TQO renormalises to a specific TQFT at the low-energy limit, allowing ground-state degeneracies to be calculated. Essentially metric-independent, TQFTs describe a zero-energy subspace.

Category Theory nicely describes Michael Atiyah's rigorous axiomatisation of TQFTs, inspired by Edward Witten. They are functors that keep their monoidal structure from bordisms to vector spaces.

Bordisms (sometimes termed cobordisms) are higher-dimensional manifolds that describe “space” at a specific moment and are “morphisms” between lower-dimensional manifolds. Bordisms are orientated manifolds of one higher dimension with the disjoint union of Σ1 and Σ2 as their border. Closed, orientated (n-1)-manifolds are bordisms, and their equivalence classes are morphisms. Bordism's tensor product operation is disjoint union. Categories are built from “objects” (sets, vector spaces, topological manifolds) and “morphisms” (structure-preserving applications). Applications between categories that preserve composition and identity morphisms are factors. In an associative, commutative, unit-element category, a “tensor product” operation is called symmetric monoidal structure. The usual vector space tensor product. The TQFT factor preserves these features, making it “symmetric monoidal”.

Classification and comprehension are easier with TQFTs' geometric and topological manifold invariants. These theories physically tie (d+1)-dimensional manifolds, which describe spacetime processes, to operators between Hilbert spaces and d-dimensional manifolds, which represent space, to Hilbert spaces (quantum states). This idea motivates TQFTs to link general relativity with quantum theory. Z(Σ) has the same dimension as a TQFT Z applied to a product manifold Σ × S1.

Challenges to Common Purview: Topological Order Beyond TQFT

Contrary to common perception, 'Topological Order Beyond Quantum Field Theory' has proven that the lowest-energy excitations of these new theories are not invariably linked to a finite number of localised anyons of a TQFT. These gapped lowest-energy excitations are anyons that densely cover the system, not TQFTs.

These new models are distinguished by their distance-dependent interactions between anyons, which are expected in realistic experimental setups. However, axiomatically defined TQFTs are metrically independent. Even at infrared wavelengths, the new TQO systems' anyon excitations become metric dependent. The system obviously demonstrates TQO, but this metric dependency and the dense occupation of anyons prevent these theories' low-energy region from being related to a regular TQFT.

The researchers examined these models by performing exact dualities on traditional (Landau) ordering systems. This innovative method transfers Landau-type theories to dual models with topological order while maintaining spatial dimension. The star-plaquette product model (SPPM), a Zq (q≥2) extension of the Kitaev toric code (TC) stabiliser Hamiltonian, received special attention.

Dual high-dimensional classical systems with large free-energy barriers are produced by the SPPM and its extensions, which include stabiliser group elements beyond independent generators. This makes them more thermally stable than the standard Zq TC model, which is dual to decoupled 1D chains and thermally fragile Non-Abelian, string-net, and higher-dimensional models can use this approach, not simply SPPMs.

Quantum Computing Implications

The most important physical consequence of this research is that it may lead to heat-resistant quantum memory. Surface codes reduce errors well, but thermal noise and temperature increase error rates. Current research may be able to construct quantum memory structures that are less susceptible to heat disruptions, enabling more reliable and stable quantum information storage at higher temperatures. These models realise unstudied quantum codes.

This departure from typical TQFT explanations shows that future theoretical models will need more components to accurately reflect topological matter's complex dynamics. This opens up exciting new possibilities for improving quantum technologies and basic physics.

Quantum Federated Learning: AI For The Quantum Networks

Federated Quantum Learning

Quantum Federated Learning: Decentralised Quantum AI and New Simulators Speed Up Research

Quantum machine learning (QML) has revolutionised machine learning by employing quantum computing to solve difficult problems. For quantum data classification, pure quantum machine learning models like quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) have been proposed. However, current QML models rely on centralised solutions, which cannot scale efficiently for distributed and large-scale quantum networks. This problem is urgent because computational qubits are fragile and difficult to move across networks.

Quantum Federated Learning (QFL), a more practical and dependable way for creating quantum network designs, has received attention to overcome this scalability issue. QFL strategically uses wireless communication infrastructure to enable distributed quantum learning.

Instead of fragile quantum data, QFL allows the exchange of “classical” model parameters over 5G wireless channels. This solution avoids the hardware complexity and challenges of exchanging qubits for quantum data group learning.

Mahdi Chehimi and Walid Saad from Virginia Tech and British University in Dubai suggested the first fully quantum federated learning framework that could work across quantum data in an innovative effort to create a comprehensive framework. Their innovation enables decentralised quantum circuit parameter exchange for QCNN models performing classification tasks.

They overcame the literature's lack of quantum federation datasets. To avoid this, their technology creates the first quantum federated dataset with a hierarchical data format designed for distributed quantum networks. This quantum cluster state excitation dataset is important for distributed quantum computing and quantum sensor networks.

The Chehimi and Saad study examined key QFL difficulties. They investigated how to create quantum federated datasets, whether classical federated learning (FL) algorithms could learn and serialise quantum circuit parameters, the practical challenges of modern quantum hardware, and whether the framework could handle quantum data with different distributions.

Their extensive trials, including being the first to combine Google's TensorFlow Federated (TFF) and Quantum (TFQ) in a real-world implementation, proved their QFL approach's efficacy. The revelation that conventional FL algorithms can decentralise learning in quantum QML applications was significant.

The suggested QFL framework efficiently maintains IID and non-IID quantum data and performs as well as or better than a centralised QML configuration. Many quantum computing clients acquire model parameters from a central server in QFL. The clients then locally train their QCNN models on quantum data, adjust the parameters, and send the data to the server for federated average aggregation.

The University of Alabama in Huntsville team lead by Dinh C. Nguyen and included Ratun Rahman, Atit Pokharel, and Md Raihan Uddin released SimQFL, a customised simulator to streamline and speed up quantum federated learning experiments. This boosts QFL research. They observed that current quantum simulators generally simulate large quantum circuits but do not allow federated machine learning operations including evaluation, training, and iterative optimisation. Creating and testing quantum learning algorithms was challenging and resource-intensive due to this issue.

SimQFL addresses these issues by providing a single QFL research environment. The key feature is real-time model evolution visualisation for each training cycle, including learning curves, accuracy trends, and convergence metrics. Quick feedback helps manage resources, detect issues, and make model development decisions.

Training epochs, learning rates, participating clients, qubits, and layers can be changed in the simulator's simple interface. SimQFL supports uploading and using custom quantum datasets for training, allowing researchers to test algorithms with real data. Client-specific setups, variationally quantum layers, quantum encoding, MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, and CIFAR-10 benchmarks are provided.

SimQFL, an open-source standalone executable, ensures accessibility and promotes future collaboration. QFL researchers will need SimQFL to create quantum-enhanced learning systems that protect privacy, according to the authors. SimQFL plans to provide more advanced federated learning algorithms, quantum encoding schemes and ansatz designs, data format compatibility, realistic noise models, and quantum error mitigation methods.

The limitations of Near-Term Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) hardware, particularly the small number of qubits and quantum error correction, make large-scale purely quantum QML models difficult to deploy. However, QFL and tools like SimQFL are important advances. These advancements allow quantum devices and data to be integrated into wireless networks, which bodes well for novel wireless sensing, networking, and quantum hardware research challenges and applications.

It is intriguing because QML models can be trained on future 6G communication networks, allowing quantum computers' powerful computational power to be used in current communication infrastructure. Future studies may use quantum cryptographic methods like Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) to encrypt classical learning parameters in QFL systems for added security.

In conclusion

Quantum Federated Learning revolutionises distributed machine learning with quantum computing by solving data transit and scalability difficulties with centralised quantum models. The groundbreaking paradigm by Chehimi and Saad and the fast developing research capabilities of simulators like SimQFL are driving the development of useful, scalable, and privacy-preserving quantum-enhanced learning systems. These systems could revolutionise AI and communication networks.

How Deep Anomaly Detection Works, Purpose and Benefits

As described, Deep Anomaly Detection protects Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) systems from real-world threats, including side-channel attacks. This novel security system for quantum communication networks uses machine learning to overcome the disadvantages of conventional defences and deliver a dependable, flexible solution.

A detailed explanation of Deep Anomaly Detection in QKD security:

Core Idea and Goal

Deep Anomaly Detection in QKD trains a system to detect and describe safe QKD network behaviour. Instead of learning attack signatures, the system learns “healthy” conduct. Following this norm, every deviation is suspected of malice. Despite their theoretical quantum-based security, real-world QKD systems are vulnerable to attacks that try to break the quantum protocol rather than exploit unexpected physical features or hardware flaws. These weaknesses are often called “side-channel attacks”.

Addressing QKD Practical Vulnerabilities

Due to the difficulty of implementing real QKD security, this approach is needed. Continuous research identifies QKD implementation difficulties in the real world. Attackers can use electromagnetic emissions, detector behaviour, and timing variations. These attacks focus on single-photon detectors (SPDs), which are important to QKD systems. Attacks on SPDs include:

Controlling detection timing Flooding light detectors Utilising detector recovery times Damaged detectors with lasers Other attack vectors include SPDs, malicious components, wavelength manipulation, photorefractive phenomena, and light injection to interfere with the quantum signal. Anomaly detection systems were developed to combat the “arms race” between attackers and defenders, underlining the need for constant innovation and trustworthy hardware in QKD.

Deep Anomaly Detection

The Deep Support Vector Data Description (Deep SVDD) model underpins this cutting-edge security technology. Model is a one-class classification algorithm. Its operation involves these steps:

Normal Data Training: Only data from secure QKD operations is used to train the Deep SVDD model. This training approach is simpler because it simply requires secure behaviour, not many attack and non-attack scenarios.

During a secure key exchange, the system extracts operational parameters from the QKD setup. These criteria describe the system's predicted behaviour.

Establishing a "Safe Zone": The Deep SVDD uses this training data to establish a border around this typical behaviour in the system's operational settings.

While operational, the system monitors QKD system parameters in real time. Parameter values that depart from the "safe zone" are indicated as aberrant or hazardous.

Some advantages and benefits

A powerful treatment for forthcoming quantum communication networks, the Deep Anomaly Detection system offers many advantages over conventional tactics.

Discovering New Attacks: This is a major benefit of the strategy. It detects novel or “zero-day” assaults by detecting deviations from typical conduct rather than threat characteristics. This addresses the issue of conventional techniques, which require in-depth attack type knowledge.

High Accuracy: Tests showed an AUC of over 99% in detecting anomalies. It appears to distinguish risks from safe functioning.

The solution doesn't require any hardware changes or QKD infrastructure upgrades, which is a major benefit. This removes a major barrier to acceptance and lowers implementation costs.

This technique doesn't add new vulnerabilities into the network by blending in with existing setups, which is a concern with certain conventional countermeasures.

Cost-Effective and Flexible: Its focus on routine operation makes it a strong and adaptable security solution that can protect QKD networks from current and future threats, including undiscovered ones.

Scalable Performance: The study highlights that the model's efficacy depends on the quality and extent of data used to describe typical system function. Thus, a complete and representative training dataset is necessary for optimal results.

The Discovery of s-Ordering: Advancing Quantum Mechanics

Scientists Find a Strong Quantum Operator Ordering System

A team led by Robert S. Maier of the University of Arizona has published a comprehensive study of s-ordering, a major development in theoretical quantum mechanics. This groundbreaking discovery promises to illuminate quantum system behaviour and simplify quantum computing. Operator configuration directly influences quantum computations and interpretations. This new research advances the hunt for more flexible arrangements.

S-Ordering-A Flexible Quantum Calculation Framework

The flexible generalisation s-ordering gracefully covers normal, symmetric, and anti-normal orderings as special examples. This provides a more flexible framework for quantum calculations than previous versions. Reorganising notions within mathematical formulas to represent quantum systems is its main breakthrough. S-ordering methodically reorders simple operators while keeping their mathematical linkages, making complex computations easier and more flexible.

Mathematical Key to Hsu-Shiue Polynomials

The explicit formulation of s-ordered equations using the Hsu-Shiue polynomials is a major advance of this research. Using these polynomials to create s-ordered expressions, researchers can methodically convert operators between ordering schemes. They're more than tools. Mathematical structures like Sheffer polynomial sequences and Riordan arrays are related to the Hsu-Shiue family.

This Hsu-Shiue family enlargement permits orderings to fluidly interpolate between normal and anti-normal arrangements, a major advance. This ability to establish a mathematical “translation” between orderings is crucial. Complex signal processing algorithms are used to translate s-ordered assertions using these polynomials' intrinsic mathematical properties. The approach can be utilised for more sophisticated series and functions than regular polynomial expressions, allowing for more quantum phenomena to be analysed and more accurate quantum system models.

Controlling Boson Operators and More

The framework is effective for manipulating and understanding boson operators, which are vital for characterising quantum systems like photons and phonons. One complex scenario that the researchers solved using this method was the exponential of a "boson string," a mathematical construct that depicts a chain of boson creation and annihilation operators. The results reveal that s-ordering can elegantly and simply depict exponential operators explicitly defined in terms of the Hsu-Shiue polynomials.

This reduces complex computations in quantum field theory and quantum optics and improves mathematical elegance and computation. This paradigm also clarifies the interdependencies of distinct mathematical notions like boson operators, polynomials, and exponential functions by directly connecting them. The study also relates their methodology to Laguerre polynomials to show its versatility.

Combinatorial Structure Connectivity and Future Outlook

This paper examines the intricate relationship between operator ordering and combinatorial identities, linking it to Stirling, Bell, and Eulerian numbers and offering practical applications in quantum physics. This helps explain mathematical structures by showing how orderings correspond to unique combinatorial sequences. The Iterated Weyl Operator Procedure is essential for studying these relationships. Strong tools like Sheffer sequences and umbral calculus are used to derive and modify operator identities.

This work could advance quantum field theory, quantum optics, and quasi-probability distributions. A simple and explicit s-ordering method gives researchers a powerful tool for studying the mathematical structure of quantum systems and possibly identifying new links between quantum phenomena. Despite its significance, the authors concur that more research is needed to thoroughly assess the work's effects and application to more complex systems. The observed linkages to well-known mathematical sequences and combinatorial mathematics subjects suggest intriguing research and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Sign-Color Decoder: Data recovery in Volume Law entanglement

SCD decodes signs

Decodable Volume-Law Phase Allows Clifford Circuit Logarithmic Decoding

Oxford and University College London researchers discovered a new method for recovering data from exceedingly intricate quantum states, advancing quantum computers and cryptography. A novel family of quantum circuits, the Sign-Color Decoder, preserves a decodable volume-law phase and recovers information in logarithmic time, according to this landmark discovery.

In “volume-law entanglement,” complex entangled states are necessary for new quantum technologies and basic physics. These states may preserve sophisticated quantum information better than any other, but their structure scatters it through scramblin, making data retrieval challenging, like picking out a signal in a sea of noise. This impediment must be overcome to use many-body states in quantum error correction.

The University College London team of Dawid Paszko, Marcin Szyniszewski, and Arijeet Pal created the Sign-Color Decoder (SCD). Szyniszewski is also affiliated with Oxford. This decoder operates by f ollowing the creation of quantum stabilisers, hence revealing the encoded state. This invention relies on the decoder's ability to work while measurements muddle the quantum state, replicating real-world failures.

SCD thrives in the more complex volume-law phase, retrieving information in a time proportional to the system size logarithm, unlike earlier techniques that were limited to simpler “area-law phases” with little entanglement. Due to logarithmic scaling, quantum system complexity increases decoding time more slowly than traditional approaches.

The SCD allows polynomial-time classical simulation by regulating the state's stabiliser generators, which maintain their stabiliser states during circuit evolution under Clifford gates and Pauli measurements. Each stabiliser generator is assigned a “colour”: trivial (uncorrelated), correlated, or randomised (depending on measurement outcomes and uncorrelated with the original state) based on its sign.

One important difficulty, called “colour mixing,” is that stabiliser generators are not unique; multiplying them yields a varied tableau of the same condition. Consciousness of starting state connections in exponentially numerous stabiliser sign colourings makes naive decoding computationally impossible. SCD algorithms limit colour mixing to avoid this. If many stabiliser generators anti-commutate with the measurement operator, the SCD chooses trivial, correlated, and randomised ones in order.

This purposeful choice preserves sign-color differentiation as long as possible to avoid hidden correlations and enable polynomial-time decoding by following only L stabiliser generators. The “colouring” of the state in this scenario functions as a dynamic error syndrome, allowing state rectification and providing classical information about mistakes by revealing the initial state through associated stabiliser generator measurement.

The researchers also found a fundamental principle behind this decoding process, revealing that the transformation from decodable to undecodable is universal and consistent across circuit geometries and designs. This universality shows a reliable method for obtaining information from several quantum systems.

Their numerical studies link decodability to measurement-induced phase transitions (MIETs) by showing that it persists at constant and logarithmic circuit depths but fails when depths scale linearly with system size. The team's stochastic mean-field model also predicts that the decodability transition is a second-order phase transition with a critical exponent of about 1, independent of circuit depth coefficients or lattice geometry, and that the mean circuit depth beyond which a state becomes undecodable scales logarithmically with system size.

Most crucially, the Sign-Color Decoder functions well when it knows (KL) or doesn't know (UL) error locations. The decoder accounts for the more realistic UL case using unitary gate locations. It benchmarks a circuit without measurements to locate initial state stabiliser generators. These generators are tested after noisy circuit realisations. The average weights from these measurements form the dynamic syndrome for UL decoding.

In numerical investigations, a decodable phase and a transition to a non-decodable phase emerge at logarithmic depths regardless of error rate (p_m). Unitary gates leave a certain number of sites unaffected by initial state stabilisers when p_u is low, which makes them resistant to large mistake rates.

These findings suggest volume-law states can successfully encode quantum computation and communication. This opens new avenues for safer, more effective quantum technologies. In area-law nations, information-carrying stabilisers are simple to spot, but volume-law entanglement keeps information private. The decoder shows that extremely entangled states can be used for reliable information encoding and decoding even with noisy encoding dynamics and only error types (not locations) known.

Volume-law entanglement's potential for cryptography and quantum computing is advanced by this study. This work advances quantum error correction and encryption, which could lead to more reliable and effective quantum devices by boosting the ability to manipulate and extract information from complex quantum states. A protocol can be modified to encode and retrieve non-stabilizer states, and neural networks can be studied to increase decoder performance.

This creation illustrates the energy of quantum research, which studies how quantum systems behave in many-body localisation and quantum chaos. The decodable volume-law phase in quantum technology could tackle intractable material science, AI, and finance challenges.

Silicon Carbide Quantum Computing: Harvard, IonQ SiC Devices

Silicon Carbide QCD

Stanford and IonQ Pioneer Silicon Carbide Quantum Devices

Harvard and IonQ researchers improved quantum technology by fabricating silicon carbide quantum devices. Silicon carbide's quantum feature issues are resolved, enabling more reliable and scalable quantum technology. The study by Amberly Xie, Aaron Day, and others shows that suspended silicon carbide thin films can directly build complicated quantum structures, overcoming processing problems with this solid substance.

Future quantum technologies may use silicon carbide (SiC), specifically the 4H-SiC polytype, because it can host defects with desirable quantum features called colour centres. Colour centres determine quantum information processing and storage. However, their incapacity to integrate into suspended nanodevices and their difficulty in controlling and reading within these structures have limited their usefulness. Despite its benefits, the material's mechanical and chemical stability makes it difficult to shape into nanoscale geometries for quantum applications.

This innovation uses a revolutionary fabrication method to revolutionise silicon carbide quantum gadget production. After synthesising 4H-SiC suspended thin films on a monolithic substrate, the team designs sophisticated nanoscale devices directly onto these films without treating bulk SiC.

This “monolithic fabrication” method avoids many of the previously mentioned issues with material robustness and compatibility with various processing materials. The suspended films' monolithic nature reduces composite material issues such thermal expansion mismatch, improving production flexibility and resilience, especially at high temperatures.

Nanoscale feature patterning requires electron-beam lithography, which needed careful optimisation in this advanced manufacturing technique. Researchers observed that this procedure's resist exhibited varied adherence, causing "edge beading" and delamination throughout manufacture. Researchers meticulously tested Surpass3000, hexamethyldisilane, and oxygen plasma surface treatments to address this. Reducing the baking temperature to 115°C and rotating samples on a carrier wafer yielded the best nanofabrication and resist adhesion. Optimisation is necessary for reliable quantum devices using silicon carbide.

To build their devices precisely, the researchers combined advanced computer models and physical fabrication. They created one-dimensional photonic crystal cavities using Flexcompute Tidy3D and photonic cavities using COMSOL Multiphysics F. Accessible code allows other researchers to evaluate and change these designs, promoting transparent cooperation and speeding up future improvements. Initial device geometry and performance are guaranteed by this computational process.

Manufacturing gadgets have shown promising results. By building photonic crystal cavities with and without waveguide interfaces, the researchers reached several thousand quality factors. These statistics match earlier findings for analogous structures in silicon carbide, proving the unique production technique's efficacy. By increasing feature size accuracy and consistency, direct patterning onto suspended films greatly reduced manufacturing errors.

Besides simple cavity constructions, the researchers constructed tapered waveguide cavities to catch silicon carbide defect light. These tapered structures had quality factors exceeding 1,000 to improve quantum information readout efficiency and enable scalable quantum networks. For the first time, these exhibit tapered waveguide cavities in 4H-SiC f. To enable long-distance quantum communication and quantum entanglement for distributed quantum computing and quantum internet applications, these cavities must be connected to optical fibres.

The integration of thin-film lithium niobate onto silicon carbide is one of this work's most innovative characteristics. Integration of heterogeneous materials shows adaptability and opens new quantum control options. SiC and lithium niobate enable investigations of spin-phonon interactions, allowing novel ways to control and read out quantum computing states that are difficult to obtain with optical methods.

In a proof-of-concept system, lithium niobate's powerful piezoelectric properties allowed electrical control and fault reading. This discovery allows electro-optic photon modulation and in-situ cavity adjustment to match defect emission wavelengths. Surface acoustic waves can improve spin-state control and readout.

In summary,

For generating cutting-edge silicon carbide devices with unprecedented accuracy and material compatibility, this novel fabrication process is flexible and trustworthy. Even though this is a proof-of-concept, the scientists say further work is needed to achieve realistic spin control and readout. Future research could explore exciting applications like quantum node multiplexing, in-situ cavity tuning, and electro-optic modulation to push quantum technology further.

Cluster Algorithm CA Accelerated By Quantum Mechanics

Cluster Algorithm CA

A new cluster algorithm revolutionises quantum-guided combinatorial optimisation.

Scientists have discovered a revolutionary new way for solving combinatorial optimisation issues that even the most powerful conventional computers cannot solve. This novel method, developed by Aron Kerschbaumer from ISTA and Peter J. Eder from TUM and Siemens AG, uses quantum mechanics and cluster algorithms to increase efficiency and speed up solution space exploration. This may spur breakthroughs in manufacturing, logistics, materials research, and financial models, which need complex optimisation problems.

Combinatorial optimisation tasks like building the best machine learning models or logistics network routes involve finding the optimum combination among many choices. Identifying Ising spin glasses, disordered magnetic materials having the lowest energy state, is notoriously difficult.

Many issues like the NP-hard Maximum Cut (Max-Cut) problem have complex energy landscapes that can trap traditional algorithms in less-than-ideal configurations due to conflicting interactions or frustration. Conventional methods have trouble breaking out of local minima since they change one variable at a time. Prior cluster algorithms tried to solve this problem by flipping groups of variables at once, but complexity and percolation in spin glass systems made exploration less effective.

New Method: Correlation-Guided Clustering

The team's innovative cluster algorithm (CA) switches groups of variables simultaneously to improve coordination and escape from unsatisfactory setups. A "correlation matrix," precomputed information on variable associations, guides cluster creation, which is the key innovation.

This matrix offers key facts on the energy landscape o f the issue. By using these correlations, the method may quickly avoid local minima by discovering spin groups whose simultaneous flipping, even at low energy levels, produces massive configuration space changes with high acceptance probability.

Simulated annealing (SA), a prominent Monte Carlo (MC)-based optimisation method, flips spin clusters rather than individual spins, which is important. Using the correlation matrix, cluster-building iteratively adds surrounding vertices based on a “link probability” from a randomly picked “seed node”.

The graph's percolation threshold is estimated to correctly normalise this probabilistic technique, preventing clusters from spreading over the system, a critical issue for first cluster algorithms in frustrated systems. Only once is the correlation matrix computed throughout the operation.

Quantum and classical information synergy

Adjustability is a strength of our novel approach for determining guiding correlations. The researchers found a possible crossover between classical and quantum approaches by studying distinct correlations.

Coupling constants (CCs): The issue structure's fundamental interaction strengths are represented by CCs, which provide direction based merely on graph topology. Relationships in semidefinite programming Semidefinite Programming (SDP) correlations, which reflect edge cut probabilities, were obtained by relaxing the Max-Cut problem polynomially (the Goemans and Williamson approximation approach). Thermal correlations from Monte Carlo (MC): The Metropolis-Hastings algorithm samples spin configurations at various temperatures to obtain thermal correlations, which can reveal more about the graph's unhappiness, especially at lower temperatures. QAOA correlations: Quantum advantage matters in QAOA correlations. The hybrid quantum-classical approach QAOA approximates combinatorial optimisation issues by mimicking quantum adiabatic development. The computationally expensive parameter optimisation is only done once, making QAOA-derived correlations beneficial for efficiently sampling high-quality solutions. QAOA or SDP solutions can be improved by post-processing with the approach.

Quantum Guidance Outperforms

Large-scale benchmarking has improved, especially for problem annoyance.

Impact of Frustration: On 3-regular graphs with lesser frustration, CA guided by CCs and random clusters outperformed Simulated Annealing. Random clusters failed, but CCs barely outscored SA on severely frustrated 20-regular graphs. This revealed that coupling constants become less precise as frustration builds, resulting in locally favourable but globally undesirable cluster formations. SDP and MC Improvements: The CA beat the CC-directed version (and SA) for both graph types when guided by SDP and MC correlations. MC correlations were slightly better than SDP correlations for similar approximation ratios, especially at lower temperatures. The algorithm can make better global optimisation decisions since these more informative connections naturally encode more graph displeasure information. Quantum Advantage with QAOA: The main findings show QAOA's quantum advantage. The quantum-guided CA performed better at higher QAOA depths, even though QAOA correlations at the lowest circuit depth (p=1) performed similarly to CCs (an analytically demonstrated relationship). Deeper QAOA circuits gather more accurate issue structural information, improving algorithmic guidance. Additionally, quantum-guided CA with QAOA had a greater acceptance probability for cluster flips. The median acceptance probability climbed to almost 95% at a QAOA depth of p=10, compared to SA or CC-guided CA's 10% acceptance rates. This shows very effective cluster motions and significant solution space exploration.

Future View

This work advances computational problem-solving by demonstrating significant synergy between classical and quantum computing. The revolutionary cluster algorithm's low-energy correlations to avoid percolation in frustrated systems are highly impactful.

Unfortunately, important research questions remain. Whether quantum algorithms' speedup, especially as system size expands, justifies the computing labour needed to obtain high-quality correlations will be crucial.

QAOA correlations' scalability and usefulness in real-world applications need further study on larger graphs, especially ones with high discontent. The approach will be compared to Quantum Annealing and Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE) correlations, and the effect of noise in Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices will be studied. As the quantum revolution proceeds, this cutting-edge technology could transform many industries.

Qunova Computing Gets $10M In Series A For HI-VQE Algorithm

Qunova Computer

Qunova Computing received £7.9 million (US$10 million) in Series A funding to accelerate quantum advantage using the HI-VQE Algorithm.

Qunova Computing, a Daejeon, South Korea-based quantum software company, completed its Series A fundraising round with US$10 million (£7.9 million or 13.5 billion Korean Won). The business's top crew of engineers, scientists, and developers will grow with this huge investment, launching it into its next phase of development.

GS Ventures, Korea Development Bank, GU Equity Partners, Company K, Quantum Ventures Korea, JB Investment, CKD Venture Capital, and Daesung Private Equity (also Daesung Venture Capital) supported the funding round as strategic investors.

This large investment shows investor trust in Qunova's main product, the quantum algorithm HI-VQE (Handover Iteration Variational Quantum Eigensolver). This powerful algorithm drives Qunova's goal of quantum advantage in critical chemical, pharmaceutical, and industrial engineering industries.

Quantum Potential Unlocked with Pioneering HI-VQE Algorithm

Qunova is known for its device-independent HI-VQE algorithm and proven capabilities. The method has been tested on many quantum computers, including IBM's, using this crucial feature and has consistently produced promising and dependable results on all platforms. IBM added the HI-VQE algorithm to its Qiskit functions catalogue earlier this year, demonstrating its strength and growing adoption in quantum computing. Due to this connection, it's now more accessible to Fortune 500 companies, universities, government labs, and startups.

HI-VQE uses Hybrid Quantum-Classical (HQC) computing. This innovative solution cleverly exploits the advantages of quantum and traditional computing paradigms. It aims to boost calculation accuracy and processing speed while efficiently reducing resource use. Qunova says its algorithm performs well for sophisticated quantum chemical applications with qubit counts up to 68. HI-VQE with qubit counts up to 68 has been best-in-class across quantum modalities over the past year.

Strategic Impact in Multiple Industries

Qunova wisely deployed recently acquired resources to give industrial users a quantum advantage. Crafting an algorithmic solution to hardware issues will do this. Sukhyun Hong, CEO of GS Ventures, said quantum computing needs more hardware advances to reach its full potential.

Qunova's unique solution to this technology avoids hardware issues, effectively solving this challenge. Quantum advantage will be closer than ever. This strategic focus is to cleverly circumvent hardware constraints to accelerate quantum application development. For instance, the GS Group wants to use this new technology to several business divisions of its vast operations.

Dr. Kang Woon Lee, Partner at GU Equity Partners, said, “Qunova is the only company bringing a chemistry focused quantum applications to market.” He added, “We believe the impact of this will be significant and wide ranging, affecting everything from materials design to drug discovery,” describing the disastrous effects. In reality, Qunova's algorithm is already improving chemistry, medicine development, and advanced materials research.

In addition to HI-VQE, Qunova Computing offers another excellent algorithm. This method handles up to 100,000 combinatorial variable optimisation solutions on today's Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) machines efficiently. This powerful optimisation approach and the HI-VQE are useful in many industries that require complex computations.

Future and Strategic Growth

Kevin June-Koo Rhee, CEO and Founder of Qunova Computing, extended gratitude to investors and hardware partners. He said, “With these strategic investors, it will invest more money to grow the elite group of engineers, scientists, and developers. This will accelerate quantum advantage. The generous use of hardware partners' cutting-edge quantum computers enabled Qunova's product demonstration and quantum advantage enhancement. He recognised this support specifically.

In the second half of 2025, the company intends to provide additional intriguing details about their quantum advantage progress. As Qunova Computing's successful Series A funding round shows, the company is well-positioned to shape the quantum computing landscape by bridging the gap between theoretical potential and real-world industrial applications.

Quantum Monte Carlo Methods For Quantum Materials Magic

Introducing Quantum Monte Carlo Methods

An innovative quantum Monte Carlo method reveals the'magic' of quantum materials

By revealing a powerful tool to investigate non-stabilizerness, researchers gain new insights into critical behaviour and nonlocal quantum correlations.

Many-body quantum systems are difficult to characterise, even though quantum mechanics governs matter and energy. Quantum entanglement, a key component of quantum information, is not enough to realise quantum computers' potential.

The actual driver of quantum advantage is ‘magic’, or ‘non-stabilizerness’. Although extremely entangled, classical computers can imitate stabiliser states using Clifford protocols. This particular property measures the degree to which a quantum state deviates from them. Magic in complex, many-body systems has always been difficult to calculate, especially in higher dimensions or at finite temperatures.

Researchers have developed a quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) scheme to properly measure magic. This unique method can compute the alpha-stabilizer Rényi entropy (SRE), a key indication of magic, and its derivatives in large-scale and high-dimensional quantum systems. The approach is QMC-based, so no prior knowledge of tensor networks is needed, and it can be applied to any Hamiltonian without the "sign problem," which often adds negative weights to QMC simulations, making probabilistic interpretation impossible.

This innovative method interprets alpha-SRE as a ratio of generalised partition functions. The researchers demonstrated that sampling "reduced Pauli strings" limits simulation to a "reduced configuration space." Ingenious solution avoids sign difficulty for efficient classical magic computation.

To simplify SRE value and derivative calculations for various system parameters, the technique uses strong Monte Carlo methods including thermodynamic integration (TI) and reweight-annealing (ReAn). Carefully prepared nonlocal updates that minimise autocorrelations boost performance and ensure accurate and timely results. This is much better than earlier hybrid algorithms that could only calculate alpha-SRE once and extract derivative information, offering very limited physical information.

In one and two dimensions, the researchers demonstrated the strength and adaptability of their unique method using the transverse field Ising (TFI) model, a key component of condensed matter physics. They present a complex and compelling picture of magic at quantum critical points, the temperatures where quantum systems undergo sudden phase shifts.

Researchers separated the 2-SRE's characteristic function (Q-part), which is associated to magic, and free energy (Z-part) for the first time. They found that magic and criticality have a non-trivial link because their derivatives have singularities at critical points.

Magic's behaviour at these vital occasions was more complicated than expected. The 2D TFI model's magic density increased monotonically across the critical point, peaking in the ferromagnetic (FM) phase before decaying, while the 1D model's magic density peaked at the critical point, in line with previous studies. In broad many-body systems, quantum entanglement often peaks around quantum critical points, although alpha-SRE does not always do so. The degree of magic does not always indicate a phase's features.

In addition to magic's magnitude, the study stressed volume-law adjustments to SRE. The non-zero values of these modifications reveal nonlocal magic in correlations that cannot be eradicated by local procedures, making them crucial. The scientists identified discontinuities in these adjustments at quantum crucial places in 1D and 2D TFI models. This sudden change reflects a swift ground-state magical structural shift over the phase transition. They propose that volume-law adjustments can diagnose criticalities better than full-state magic and may even be universal signatures of the boundary conformal field theory's 'g factor'.

As a magic metric, alpha-SRE failed, according to the study. The 2-SRE produced nonphysical results in mixed states (such as finite-temperature Gibbs states) in the 2D TFI model, with singularities appearing at points unrelated to the system's key features. This proves alpha-SRE is unsuitable for mixed-state magic.

Despite this limitation for mixed states, the innovative QMC algorithm opens many research avenues. Because of its versatility, bipartite mutual magic (mSRE) calculation is easy to add. This should help characterise quantum phases and solve difficult problems in finite-temperature phase transitions and open quantum systems.

Many-body physics and quantum information theory have advanced with this work's powerful new strategies for solving quantum state and non-classical feature challenges. It confirms that while magic is crucial for quantum advantage, classical replication of some highly magical states is not necessarily impossible.

Open Quantum Safe History, Types, Challenges and Advantages

Open Quantum Safe (OQS) is an open-source initiative that promotes quantum-resistant cryptography. It is a member of the Linux Foundation and the Post-Quantum Cryptography Alliance.

A full explanation of Open Quantum Safe:

Purpose and Goal

Open Quantum Safe develops and tests quantum-resistant encryption. The main goal is to help businesses transition to a quantum-safe future by providing resources to develop and test new cryptographic algorithms. It provides quantum-resistant cryptography prototype software.

Research by the project team and others is sponsored.

History

In 2014, Michele Mosca and Douglas Stebila founded the scientific OQS initiative.

Initial goals included testing and prototyping quantum-resistant algorithms.

As post-quantum cryptography developed and the NIST PQC standardisation process began, Open Quantum Safe refocused on developing a production-track codebase for standardised algorithms while supporting novel algorithm research.

Open Quantum Safe joined the Linux Foundation in January 2024.

Architecture and Core Parts

Open Quantum Safe has two main parts:

Liboqs is an open-source C library for quantum-resistant cryptography. It is central to the OQS project. KEMs and digital signature systems are quantum-resistant cryptographic methods used in liboqs. It supports x86-64, ARM32v7, and ARM64v8 and builds on Windows, macOS, and Linux. Wrappers are available for C++, Go, Java,.Net, Python, and Rust. The Open Quantum Safe team creates prototypes that integrate liboqs into popular applications and protocols. This lets researchers and developers test the performance of novel algorithms in real-world contexts. TLS, SSH, X.509, and CMS/S/MIME are examples of integrations. Demo connections exist for Apache, nginx, haproxy, curl, and Chromium. “Crypto-agile” OQS's architecture is “crypto-agile,” making cryptographic algorithm switching easy. The PQC scene is evolving, thus this is crucial. Combining new post-quantum algorithms with RSA and ECC will create a hybrid strategy that manages transition risk.

Algorithms for Quantum Resistance

Encouraged In the Open Quantum Safe framework, post-quantum cryptography solutions based on “hard problems” that classical and quantum computers struggle to solve are developed. The following are:

CRYSTALS-Kyber (a KEM) and CRYSTALS-Dilithium (a digital signature scheme) were two of the first algorithms NIST standardised. Other supported lattice-based algorithms are FrodoKEM and NTRU-Prime.

SPHINCS+ and LMS/XMSS/HSS are hash-based cryptography algorithms. Though they have larger signatures or fewer key pair usage, these are likely secure.

HQC and Classic McEliece are code-based cryptography techniques.

Additional cryptography families like isogeny-based and multivariate-based are examined.

Some of the other specific algorithms mentioned include BIKE, CROSS, MAYO, ML-DSA, ML-KEM, and SNOVA.

Advantages

Future-Proofing: Open Quantum Safe prepares enterprises for quantum computers that can crack public-key encryption.

Open Source: This collaborative initiative promotes community code audits and openness.

Crypto-Agility: PQC's modular architecture makes algorithm conversion easy as requirements change.

Prototyping: Before standardisation and implementation, researchers and developers can test novel algorithms and understand their performance implications.

Drawbacks and Issues

Performance Overhead: Many post-quantum techniques are computationally demanding and have higher key sizes and signatures than conventional algorithms, affecting network performance and storage.

Lack of Standardisation: NIST has selected various algorithms for standardisation, but the process is ongoing. Because new algorithms have not been as carefully tested as RSA or ECC, new weaknesses may be uncovered.

“Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” Threat: Without a quantum computer to overcome encryption, sensitive data could be collected and stored, requiring an urgent change.

Migration complexity: Switching to new cryptographic standards for large, complex infrastructures requires careful planning, a lot of money, and a skilled team.

Applications

Anyone using public-key cryptography can utilise Open Quantum Safe. Useful regions include:

TLS encryption of email, web traffic, and other network communications using quantum-resistant methods.

Software Updates: Authenticating firmware and software upgrades with quantum-resistant digital signatures.

Defending IoT communications and low-power devices.

Defending blockchain and digital currency cryptography from quantum assaults.

Shown and integrated: OpenVPN, Chromium, curl, links, nginx, Apache httpd.

Develop and Community

All development happens in GitHub repositories. Project welcomes new contributors.

The Linux Foundation Mentorship program offers mentorships.

There are many public, private, business, and academic supporters of the effort. Important industry partners include Microsoft, IBM, and Amazon Web Services.

Modifications include liboqs, oqs-provider, and Rust, Java, C++, Go, and Python bindings. Liboq security assessments are public.

Benchmarking, Research

TLS, memory, and core algorithm benchmarks are available from Open Quantum Safe.

Academic articles on blockchain and TLS without handshake signatures and Cisco, IBM, and Microsoft study study and prototyping on post-quantum TLS, SSH, and VPN performance use it.

Quantum Readiness Dashboard Leads By Palo Alto Networks

Quantum Readiness

A Cutting-Edge Security Suite for AI-Powered Multicloud Environments and Quantum Age

Palo Alto Networks, a cybersecurity pioneer, released two new security solutions that secure dynamic workloads in multicloud and AI scenarios and prepare enterprises for quantum computing. These solutions enable organisations awareness, agility, and strong defences to increase security in complex digital environments and accelerate quantum preparation.

Palo Alto Networks Senior Vice President and General Manager of Network Security Anand Oswal said, “The quantum danger to encryption is no longer speculative; it's inevitable. Action is needed.

Enhancing Quantum Readiness Palo Alto Networks is leading quantum era defence with a holistic approach to quantum readiness. The following are key quantum security aspects:

The Quantum Readiness Dashboard lets Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) users assess their cryptographic risk. It helps organisations manage cryptography usage and ensure compliance with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards such FIPS 203: ML-KEM, FIPS 204: ML-DSA, and FIPS 205: SLH-DSA.

First Cypher Translation Technology: This capability quickly fixes legacy apps without quantum-safe encryption to meet post-quantum security standards by translating traffic behind a firewall. This protects present systems without rebuilding.

Quantum-Optimized Hardware: Palo Alto Networks introduced 14 fifth-generation NGFW models for PQC processing. The ruggedised PA-455R-5G, integrated branch PA-500 Series, and data centre PA-5500 Series are examples.

QRNG: Quantum Random Number Generator Quantum Random Number Generator API. This framework, published to promote multi-vendor interoperability, lets organisations build powerful QRNG-based solutions irrespective of technology. QRNG exploits quantum particle randomness to generate truly random and unpredictable integers for high-quality cryptographic keys. Integration, interoperability, acceptability, and high-quality entropy acquisition will be simplified via the QRNG Open API. It was developed with ID Quantique, Qrypt, Anametric, Quantinuum, Quantropi, and Quside. Palo Alto Networks NGFWs will support this Open API later this year.

Unified Network Security, AI Transformation, Multicloud The new solutions also address multi-cloud, AI-driven infrastructure dynamics, which often lead to inconsistent policies and blind spots.

CLARA: Cloud Network and AI Risk Assessment Tool This application constantly searches cloud and AI assets for security holes and areas that need supervision.

Automatic deployment and scaling: The solution creates a secure multicloud networking mesh and deploys Prisma AIRS instances, software, and cloud firewalls. The platform evolves organically to meet demand and integrates native load balancing without external point solutions. This industry-first network security platform automatically identifies, implements, and scales security solutions for dynamic multi-cloud and AI settings.

Precision AI and PAN-OS 12.1 Orion power this. PAN-OS 12.1 Orion improves network security by being smarter, more predictable, and stronger. Palo Alto Networks' patented Precision AI system uses machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI to predict assaults and automate defences. Precision AI seeks proactive risk minimisation and 90% alert fatigue reduction.

Enhancements to PAN-OS 12.1 Orion and Precision AI

Advanced DNS Security Resolver (ADNSR): Strata Cloud Manager integrates with ADNSR to provide centralised visibility and enterprise-grade DNS-based threat defence in hybrid and multivendor systems.

Device security uses many integrations and active and passive data collection to discover, assess, and protect all managed and unmanaged IoT devices.

Latest AI-Driven Threat Detections: New AI-driven security detections include in-memory API vector analysis, encrypted sliver C2 protection, and single-query DNS tunnelling.

Strata Cloud Manager uses AI to unify SD-WAN, SASE, and NGFW operations. It offers easy transitions, stronger Zero Trust, centralised compliance, proactive operations, and AI technologies like AI Canvas and Strata Copilot for faster troubleshooting and better decision-making.

Consumer and Industry Support Customers and industry experts laud these new capabilities:

Pete Finalle, Research Manager on IDC's Security and Trust team, says multicloud environments, rapid AI adoption, and quantum readiness have caused security blind spots and uneven standards. He stressed Palo Alto Networks' “crypto agility” and scalable software firewalls with native microsegmentation and deployment automation to address these problems.

The NBA's Senior Manager of Hybrid Cloud Networking, Mehdi Lahrech, said Palo Alto Networks' unified platform helps them scale quickly, protect important assets, and stay ahead of new threats as their multicloud footprint increases.

Scott Moser, Sabre's Senior Vice President and CISO, said they need a partner with vision and execution to handle AI-driven threats, complex infrastructures, and quantum computing advances. Palo Alto Networks is their trusted cybersecurity partner.

Quantum Integrated Discovery Orchestrator For Drug Science

Quantum IDO

QSimulate, Quantinuum, and Mitsui Launch “QIDO” Platform for Drug and Materials Science

Today, a new quantum-integrated chemistry platform named QIDO (Quantum-Integrated Discovery Orchestrator) made tremendous advances in chemical, medicinal, and energy research. A partnership between Mitsui & Co., Ltd., QSimulate, and Quantinuum created this groundbreaking platform to reduce the time and cost of developing new drugs and materials. QIDO accelerates R&D using high-precision chemical reaction modelling and innovative classical and quantum computing.

The Quantum Integrated Discovery Orchestrator was designed for profit. Complex quantum-classical hybrid techniques are simplified to enable businesses make better early decisions. This benefits entrepreneurs in chemistry-based industries including pharmaceutical research, clean energy, and materials design.

QIDO's Key Technology

Proprietary technologies from its founding partners provide smooth platform integration:

QSimulate's “QSP Reaction” handles thousands of atom computations using the most precise classical quantum chemistry methods.

Modern quantum emulators and Quantinuum's top-tier quantum systems hardware are interfaced with "InQuanto" software. Complex molecules and materials are simulated ten times more accurately by InQuanto than open-source software.

The associated companies' executives were excited about QIDO. Makoto Koshida, Mitsui's Quantum Innovation Department General Manager, stated that a market-needs-based strategy will prepare clients for the quantum future while solving current difficulties.

The president and CEO of QSimulate, Toru Shiozaki, Ph.D., said Quantum Integrated Discovery Orchestrator is a “marriage between years of innovation in quantum chemistry automation and the future of quantum computation,” giving industrial chemists “powerful, intuitive algorithms and tools to tackle complex chemical challenges with speed and accuracy.” The platform is a crucial step towards “revolutionising the economics of discovery” in important industries like medicines and energy, said Quantinuum President & CEO Dr. Rajeeb Hazra.

Wide Range of Applications and Growth

The active space concept in Quantum Integrated Discovery Orchestrator includes a high-precision chemical reaction analysis module that is immediately applicable in several critical areas:

Simulating complex electron behaviour creates high-efficiency catalysts and enzymes for cleaner energy, greener manufacturing, and improved biocatalysis, aiding drug discovery, food processing, and biofuel generation.

By understanding complex chemical reaction pathways, including transitory intermediates and excited states, reaction mechanism elucidation increases material stability, performance, and durability.

Energy storage and efficiency: Better batteries are safer, stronger, and store more.

Promote energy-efficient materials, carbon capture and reuse, and hydrogen and green ammonia production.

The platform will add capabilities through “co-creation” with customers to speed up innovation in high-impact sectors including drug development and battery innovation.

Non-specialists can now use quantum chemistry technology in industry. QIDO simplifies precise chemical modelling with several functions. Automatically identify reaction coordinates and transition states, map strongly correlated systems to compact Hamiltonians, customise active spaces and computational methods, optimise energy calculations with quantum hardware and emulators, and visualise quantum circuits and resources.

Positive Industry Beta Tester Feedback

Mitsui & Co., the exclusive Japanese distributor, beta-tested it with three top industrial enterprises before launching it. There were several positive comments:

JSR Corporation claimed that the platform gave synthetic organic chemists a “early quantum advantage” and a “integral tool” by speeding input and automating mistake control.

Panasonic Holdings Corporation commented that its user-friendly graphical user interface for chemical reaction simulations would provide “opportunities for early-stage validation in preparation for future breakthroughs” in large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computing.

According to Chugai Pharmaceutical, the user-friendly interface and clear result visualisation make reaction route investigation easy. Despite acknowledging the technical challenges of sophisticated drug discovery computations, the application is expected to play a “meaningful role in accelerating and optimising the synthesis and process development of candidate molecules” once these issues are resolved.

Quantum Time Transfer To Protect Against GNSS Problems

Quantum Time Transfer: A Secure Global Synchronisation Alternative to GNSS

The KiQQer Project Introduces Quantum Time Transfer: Secure and Accurate Timing

Financial transactions and key infrastructure depend more and more on precise timing, raising concerns about spoofing and jamming of classic satellite-based systems like Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). KiQQer (Metropolitan Free-Space Entanglement-based Quantum Key Distribution and Synchronisation) proved Quantum Time Transfer (QTT), a cutting-edge method. Previous investigations have shown that quantum entanglement can be used to synchronise time safely and accurately without satellite equipment.

QTT, part of the "second quantum revolution," uses quantum phenomena like entanglement to circumvent classical limits in time transmission, secure communication, and sensing. The current wave of quantum technology uses entanglement to generate next-generation technologies that could revolutionise communication and computation beyond classical systems, while the first wave created transistors and lasers.

Quantum Time Transfer—Why?

Traditional time systems employ GNSS satellite signals. However, secure and accurate time is still essential when these signals are inaccurate or unavailable due to deliberate interference, external factors, or mission-specific difficulties. QTT is a good choice. QTT uses quantum physics to synchronise without RF satellite infrastructure. It may also boost resilience and tamper resistance. Not allowing adversaries to mess with time-of-arrival information is vital for safe location applications.

QTT Uses Entanglement for Precision

QTT approaches include bidirectional propagation of entangled photon pairs across a network.

Each pair of entangled photons sends one to a distant node and keeps the other locally. Every node detects the partner photon stored on-site and the locally received photon. Each detection event is timestamped by the node's clock. Scientists can estimate propagation delay and relative clock offset by computing the cross-correlation between these sets of time tags from each nodes. High-precision time synchronisation is possible even without GNSS references between physically separated systems. Instead of optical pulses, the KiQQer project uses entangled photons, highly sensitive single-photon detectors, and coincidence-based correlation measurements. Polarization-correlated entangled photons give KiQQer timing signals an authentication method. Transmission is resistant to eavesdropping and spoofing because temporal correlations are random and photon polarisation states are difficult to duplicate.

KiQQer Project's Revolutionary Demo

The KiQQer consortium, which included Qunnect NL B.V., SingleQuantum B.V., OPNT B.V., Fortaegis Technologies B.V., Xairos B.V., and TNO, created and tested a three-node network on the Delft University of Technology campus. This network disseminated polarization-entangled photon pairs via fibre optic and free-space optical links. The full system was built utilising commercially available components, which advanced quantum communication systems' technological maturity.

The bichromatic polarization-entangled photon-pair source at Node C's core, Qunnect's QuSRC, produces idler and signal photons at 1324 and 795 nm. 1324 nm photons are ideal for low-loss transmission across telecom O-band fibre networks, while 795 nm photons are ideal for atmospheric windows for free-space communications and rubidium-based quantum technologies. Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) from Single Quantum have high detection efficiency, low dark count rates, and low timing jitter. OPNT used White Rabbit synchronisation modules for fibre links and a pilot tone for free-space connections to assure correct time referencing for quantum coordination.

Future Vision and Performance

KiQQer experiment data was processed using Xairos' QTT algorithm. The analysis found consistent timing alignment, however real-time clock offset removal needs bidirectional operation. By integrating across 30 seconds, the researchers eliminated the clock-offset estimation inaccuracy to 594 ps. Currently dominating the temporal noise budget, the system's 500 ps Avalanche Photodiodes (APDs) jitter severely limits precision. Shorter acquisition windows increase uncertainty due to limited photon counts and system propagation channels.

The successful QTT demonstration of this hybrid fiber/free-space architecture enables new accurate and safe timing networks. This “KiQQer-like” architecture is suited for urban quantum time transfer between dispersed or moveable nodes.

It also lays the groundwork for more complex uses like secure location, where QTT and QKD algorithms protect time-of-arrival data from unwanted manipulation. Entanglement distribution over operational free-space optical links is essential for global-scale timing networks, which require intercontinental linkages.

This achievement provides a solid foundation for early quantum network deployments and shows that effective quantum networking may be expanded outside the labs. It enables future untrusted-node and memory-enabled architectures needed for a global quantum internet infrastructure.

The Multi-QIDA: The Quantum Information Driven Ansatz

Multi-QIDA

Multi-Threshold Information Driven Ansatz Revolutionises Quantum Computing Molecular Simulations

Quantum computing is about to alter molecular simulations, offering unprecedented opportunity to solve difficult chemical problems.

Current quantum algorithms, especially the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE), have scaling issues, deep circuit requirements, and “barren plateaus” that prevent wavefunction optimisation. Multi-QIDA, developed by University of Aquila researchers Fabio Tarocco, Davide Materia, and Leonardo Ratini, is a unique solution. This unique method could improve molecular ground-state energy predictions, enabling drug development and materials science applications.

The hybrid quantum-classical Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) optimises a parametrised quantum ansatz using iterative energy minimisation to predict molecular system ground-state energies. VQE has immense potential, but its dependence on increasingly complex parametrised quantum circuits (PQCs) may result in deeper and longer circuits. Desert plateaus, when the optimisation terrain becomes exponentially flat, make parameter adjustment harder and increase error accumulation.

The Multi-QIDA approach addresses these major difficulties using Quantum Information Driven Ansatz (QIDA). QIDA originally built compact, correlation-driven circuits using Quantum Mutual Information (QMI) to reduce VQE computational resources. Multi-QIDA uses an iterative QIDA approach to build shallow, multilayer quantum circuits that recover high- and mid-to-low-level correlations in molecular systems while keeping computing efficiency.

How Multi-QIDA Works?

Unlike typical methods that focus on hardware efficiency or classical methodologies, Multi-QIDA's main novelty is intelligent, chemistry-informed circuit creation. The technique has several well-planned steps:

The adventure begins with the approximate calculation of Quantum Mutual Information (QMI) matrices. QMI, which analyses quantum and classical correlation between qubits or molecular orbitals, is an important feature of quantum systems. Multi-QIDA uses SparQ to calculate QMI for sparse wavefunctions from Post-Hartree-Fock quantum chemistry. This gives the ansatz structure a chemical base. Layer-Building Method: Multi-QIDA develops variational layers progressively, informed by the QMI matrix, rather than randomly adding quantum processes. Qubit pairs are divided into discrete QMI ranges using “finesse-ratios” (empirically derived thresholds). Each range corresponds to a new Multi-QIDA layer to gradually catch crucial connections that single-threshold approaches would miss. Efficient Resource Management and Gate Construction: Multi-QIDA simplifies the circuit using network theory, particularly mST and MST. To reduce entangling qubit pairs in each layer, these spanning trees are used as selection criterion to incorporate only relevant correlations. The team also employed SO(4) correlators instead of CNOTs for entangling gates. Real-valued electronic Hamiltonians allow these fully parametrised SO(4) gates to express greater and tunable correlation, enabling more general real-valued wavefunction operations. This improves the circuit's ability to display complicated quantum states without increasing size or complexity. VQE incremental optimisation: The Multi-QIDA circuit is incrementally optimised. All optimised QIDA-layers participate in a global “relaxation” process after initial independent optimisation. This iterative strategy minimises barren plateaus and speeds convergence to the ground-state energy with fewer optimisation cycles by segmenting the variational landscape. New layers are initialised at a random offset from the identity to avoid local minima and optimiser stalling. It resembles ADAPT-VQE and other adaptive algorithms.

Benchmarking shows Excellent Results

Multi-QIDA was benchmarked on many chemical systems, from small molecules like H2O, BeH2, and NH3 in the Iterative Natural Orbitals (INOs) basis set to active-space models. Results show multi-QIDA trumps most hardware-efficient ansätze (HEA) with ladder topology.

Comparison analysis has several primary findings:

Multi-QIDA circuits consistently delivered greater average % correlation energy across all examined systems. Multi-QIDA achieved 80% in BeH2, compared to 21.25% for the ladder ansatz. Unlike HEA, Multi-QIDA consistently produced positive correlation energies (about 89%) for H2O, proving its inability to converge. Improved Wavefunction Quality and Symmetry Preservation: Multi-QIDA improved variational wavefunction quality, preserving accurate symmetries like Ϝz, Ϝ², and Ñe, while maintaining energy precision. This suggests a more physically correct molecular electrical structure. In H2O, Multi-QIDA reduced Ϝ² values by two orders of magnitude and averaged Ϝz values of 0, compared to 0.10343 for HEA. More Concentration and Precision: Multi-QIDA's VQE values were closer to the optimal energy and less dispersed than HEA's. HEA runs often diverged or got trapped in local minima far from the solution, whereas Multi-QIDA's iterative technique led the variational wavefunction more consistently and accurately. Multi-QIDA often produced energy higher than HEA instances, even during its worst runs. Multi-QIDA requires more iterations than HEA for full optimisation, but its strong convergence and improved accuracy make it worth it.

A promising future

Major advances in quantum chemistry simulations include the Molecular System-Multi-QIDA method. QMI, advanced gate designs like SO(4) correlators, and spanning-tree-based selection criteria effectively balance computational efficiency and circuit expressiveness. Its energy accuracy, faithfulness to the ground state, and respect for fundamental physical symmetries make it a good starting estimate for more complex ansatzes like ADAPT-VQE or sophisticated sampling techniques.

The authors acknowledge that the method's performance scalability with larger and more complex molecular systems, integration with other adaptive approaches, robustness on noisy quantum devices in the real world, and ability to incorporate various correlator types are unanswered questions. Addressing these outstanding research topics will strengthen Multi-QIDA's potential to lead the quantum revolution in computational chemistry.
