Quantum News and Commentary – Monday, March 31, 2025

A conference stage set

Today’s Brief Commentary:

This week, I am Brooklyn-bound, and I’ll be hosting a panel on Thursday at the Forma Prime Demo Day as part of NYC Deep Tech Week hosted by Hyperstition.

The panel is called “The Unadorned Truth about the State of Quantum Computing,” and I’ll be joined by Dr. Olivia Lanes of IBM and Dr. Pranav Gokhale of Infleqtion.

I’ll start our proceedings with some key results from my Sutor Group Intelligence and Advisory Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) Market Landscape (Abridged) report. I’ll make this report available to the attendees at no charge and post a link to it in this newsletter and elsewhere.

Don’t forget to check out and bookmark my new sortable list of upcoming quantum technology conferences.

QED-C | State of the Global Quantum Industry Report | QED-C

https://quantumconsortium.org/stateofthequantumindustry2025/

Excerpt: Through the State of the Global Quantum Industry report, QED-C seeks to capture key metrics that characterize the size and impact of the global quantum industry in a way that can be tracked and compared over time. The report provides a data-driven perspective, through an analytical framework, on the industry’s composition, investment, market size, workforce & pipeline, and intellectual property. The data on which the report is based are current as of the end of 2024, with historical and forward-looking comparisons made where possible.

Post-Quantum Cryptography and Security


JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and University of Texas at Austin advance the application of quantum computing to potential real-world use cases beyond the capabilities of classical computing

Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025

Commentary: I think the headline could have been longer.

Excerpt: Randomness has many industrial uses, from solving complex mathematical problems to essential applications in areas such as cryptography, fairness and privacy. The group conducted the first successful demonstration of a novel quantum computing protocol to generate Certified Randomness. The researchers leveraged a task originally designed to demonstrate quantum advantage, called Random Circuit Sampling (RCS), to perform a certified-randomness-expansion protocol, which outputs more randomness than it takes as input. This task is unachievable by classical computation.
