If we can crack quantum error correction (QEC), we can unlock quantum’s full potential. But solving this isn’t something any one organisation can tackle alone. 🤝 That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our latest partnership with Pasqal. By combining Pasqal’s neutral atom quantum computing technology—known for its high connectivity and stability—with Riverlane’s Deltaflow QEC stack, we’re addressing quantum’s most critical bottleneck: errors. Qubits are prone to errors, which quickly overwhelm their calculations. By improving the quality and quantity of qubits and developing quantum error correction (QEC) techniques, we can reduce errors enough to start realising world-changing applications. 📣 Loïc Henriet, Co-CEO of Pasqal, said: “While Pasqal’s neutral atom technology offers a uniquely scalable and stable platform, Riverlane’s state-of-the-art error correction expertise addresses the final bottlenecks to large-scale deployment.”    From cutting-edge battery innovations to breakthroughs in pharmaceuticals, materials science, and artificial intelligence, this partnership is dedicated to identifying and unlocking early use cases across a wide range of industries.  📣 “This partnership underscores the importance of collaboration in building reliable large-scale, quantum computers that will redefine industries and tackle humanity’s most pressing challenges.” said Steve Brierley, CEO & Founder of Riverlane.    ➡️ For more details, click here: https://lnkd.in/eYdAnEiY

💡𝐖𝐞𝐥𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐐𝐔𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀’𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐥𝐲 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞!💡 📨 Significant breakthrough in quantum networking was achieved by creating, storing, and retrieving quantum information using a quantum dot single-photon source interfaced with an rubidium vapour-based atomic quantum memory. This marks a crucial step towards developing a quantum internet. What does this mean? Quantum communication networks can breakdown over long distances due to signal decoherence and noise, and so are often separated into smaller sections. To link these sections, there must be highly reliable memory systems at each node. This development, led by teams from Imperial College London, University of Southampton, University of Stuttgart and University of Würzburg, enhances the potential for secure, long-distance quantum communications by combining popular fibre-based telecoms with alkali-metal vapour technologies.
