Advances in Quantum and Hardware Tech Drive Faster, Greener Computing

This week in quantum computing, UCLA and UC Riverside developed a room-temperature quantum system using tantalum sulfide, reducing energy costs. Quantinuum is seeking a funding round that could value it at $10 billion, while IonQ gained Morgan Stanley as a major investor. Other advancements include Rigetti installing a quantum system at Montana State University and a German-led project testing quantum algorithms for rail network optimization, highlighting ongoing progress and investment in the field.
