A Rigetti quantum computer based on superconducting qubitsRigetti Takes Charge to Develop Rigorous, Universal Benchmarks for Quantum Application Performance

…Rigetti Computing has been selected by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop benchmarks for quantum application performance on large-scale quantum computers…

…Joining Rigetti on this project are the University of Technology Sydney, Aalto University, and the University of Southern California… 

…The program is worth up to $2.9 million over three years based on the achievement of certain milestones…

Closing in on Breakeven Point in Quantum Error Correction

…Quantinuum researchers have hit a significant milestone by entangling logical qubits in a fault-tolerant circuit using real-time quantum error correction…

…“Quantinuum’s trapped-ion quantum computing roadmap is designed around continuous upgrades, enabled our flexible architecture and our precision control capabilities…” said Tony Uttley, president and COO of Quantinuum…

…This milestone achievement is important because it marks the first time that logical qubits have been shown to outperform physical qubits — a critical step towards fault-tolerant quantum computers..

Suit Filed in D.C. Court Seeks Transparency Into U.S. NIST’s Post-Quantum Computing Algorithm Effort

…[S]even FOIA requests with NIST since mid-2020 [and] NIST has released a few dribbles of information… 

…Analyzing NSA’s impact on this project will require… tracing how NIST’s decisions were made and analyzing the influence of the information that NIST received from NSA…

…NIST promised to be “open and transparent”, and recently claimed to have “shown all our work”, it’s hard to understand why the full project records aren’t already available to the public… 

…Civil-rights firm Loevy & Loevy has now filed suit on [D. J. Bernstein’s] behalf in federal court, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, to force NIST to comply with the law…
