Quantum Brilliance partners with ORNL to integrate diamond quantum computing into HPC systems
Quantum Brilliance, a global leader in diamond-based quantum technology, announced a strategic collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as per September 4 news release to build a joint platform that enables collaborative development of quantum computing with high-performance computing (HPC) by exploring the on-premises integration of QB’s quantum computing cluster into HPC systems at ORNL.
This collaboration aims to enhance the synergy between quantum and classical computing by leveraging QB’s deployable room-temperature diamond quantum accelerators and ORNL’s state-of-the-art HPC infrastructure. It underscores both organizations’ commitment to pushing the boundaries of computational capabilities and advancing scientific research, marking the beginning of a long-term partnership
The collaboration will focus on integrating an on-premises cluster of QB’s quantum accelerators with ORNL’s HPC systems to explore the performance and effectiveness of parallelised and hybridised quantum computing. Parallel quantum computing refers to multiple quantum processors working together to solve a problem. Hybrid quantum computing refers to both quantum and classical processors working together on a problem.
Fraunhofer IPMS contributes to German quantum computer initiative
Together with 24 German research institutions and companies under the coordination of Forschungszentrum (FZ) Jülich, Fraunhofer IPMS is working on an integrated German quantum computer based on superconducting quantum chips and with improved error rates according to September 3 news release from Fraunhofer IPMS. Halfway through the project, the first demonstrator can now be put into operation. The CNT at Fraunhofer IPMS is contributing its expertise of state-of-the-art, industry-compatible CMOS semiconductor manufacturing.
As an overall milestone, a first prototype of the QSolid half-time demonstrator with 10 qubits, an integrated software stack and cloud user access will soon go into operation at Forschungszentrum (research center) Jülich, making it possible to test applications and benchmarks for industry standards. The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) with a total of € 76.3 million.
The 10-qubit prototype is only an intermediate step towards higher scaling. By the end of the project in December 2026, the system is to be further developed so that it can control 30 qubits at best and with the greatest possible error correction.
In order to achieve the ambitious goal of an independent quantum computer manufactured in Germany, QSolid brings together 25 research institutions companies and start-ups from all over Germany. Together, the project partners want to pave the way for commercialization and develop a demonstrator that will be available to external users via the “Jülich UNified Infrastructure for Quantum computing” (JUNIQ) and tailored to their individual needs.

Spectral Capital Corporation launches NOOT Authentic Intelligence Beta Program: A new kind of social media for the quantum era
Spectral Capital Corporation, a pioneer in quantum computing and security technologies, has announced the launch of its Authentic Intelligence Program, a social media platform designed for the quantum era according to September 3 news release. Powered by NOOT’s advanced ontological technologies and the innovative Vogon Cloud, this platform is set to redefine social interactions and data security in the digital landscape.
The name “NOOT” is derived from the numerical values assigned to each letter: N=14, O=15, O=15, T=20, summing up to 64. This number symbolizes robust security and efficiency, reflecting NOOT’s commitment to leading-edge quantum security and data handling. Through the Authentic Intelligence Program, these principles are brought to life on a platform that is both future-proof and user-centric.
The Authentic Intelligence Program delivers unprecedented levels of privacy, security, and meaningful connections.
Key Features of the Authentic Intelligence Program:
- Quantum-Safe Social Interactions: Utilizing the Vogon DQLDB’s quantum-resistant cryptography, such as SPHINCS+ and BLS 12-381, the platform ensures that user data and communications are secure against even the most advanced future threats.
- Enhanced Privacy Controls: Users are empowered with unparalleled control over their personal information. The distributed nature of the ledger ensures that data is not centrally controlled, providing a higher level of security and privacy.
- Quantum Insights for Personalized Experiences: By leveraging quantum algorithms and structuring data for quantum readiness, NOOT delivers personalized content and fosters genuine interactions. This approach ensures faster, more accurate insights and a more authentic social experience.
