Wellcome Leap (Leap), a U.S. nonprofit founded by the Wellcome Trust to accelerate breakthroughs in human health, today announced the outcome of its Quantum for Bio (Q4Bio) Supported Challenge Program.

A team developing light-sensitive cancer drugs has won a US$2-million Quantum for Bio (Q4Bio) prize for demonstrating a potential use for quantum computers in health care. But no team was awarded the competition’s $5-million grand prize.

The day when a quantum computer manages to break common encryption, or Q-Day, is fast approaching, and the world is not close to being ready

A new ultra-fast technique allows scientists to track how quickly quantum information disappears. This breakthrough could help solve one of the biggest challenges in building reliable quantum computers.

A major obstacle in the development of powerful quantum computers is the growing number of cables required to control a computer as the number of qubits increases. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have now demonstrated that several qubits can share the same cable—without significantly increasing computation time.

The rise of cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) is no longer a distant "decade away" concern, but for Bitcoin and the broader digital asset ecosystem, the threat appears manageable.

SEALSQ Corp (NASDAQ: LAES) ("SEALSQ" or "Company"), a company that focuses on developing and selling Semiconductors, PKI, and Post-Quantum technology hardware and software products, today highlights a major milestone achieved by its Quantum Fund portfolio company EeroQ,

Leaders of the Pacific Northwest's quantum computing realm had lots to celebrate — including a $500,000 boost from Washington state.
