Dear Friends,
Greetings of the day!
The 5th Women in Quantum Summit completed last week. This summit was jointly organized with Keysight Technologies and IonQ. This two-day summit included various industry leaders and researchers from various countries. We also had keynote sessions, networking, cocktail hours, and group selfies. You can view more updates on our social media updates.
Now is the time we are gearing up for the next event by OneQuantum India. The month of August would have an event themed on FinTech. We would have interesting insights on what’s happening at the intersection of Quantum Computing and FinTech and how Quantum is impacting the industry and our future. Stay tuned for more updates.
I continue to meet various professionals / founders / academia / government officials from the Quantum Community and look forward to setting up a one-on-one interaction with you soon.
Stay Safe,
Regards,
Chintan Oza
President India Region, OneQuantum

IBM & CERN uses Quantum Computing to expedite research
IBM and CERN are collaborating to see how quantum machine learning might aid in the understanding of natural principles. The world's biggest machine, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is located 100 meters below the Franco-Swiss border and is managed by CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. CERN's experts have enlisted the help of IBM's quantum team to better analyze the masses of data generated by such a massive machine. The collaboration has paid off: IBM researchers have demonstrated that quantum algorithms can assist make sense of the LHC's data in a new study that has yet to be peer-reviewed, implying that future quantum computers would improve scientific findings at CERN.
QUEST for quantum computing in the energy sector
To explore quantum computing applications for energy power grids, the Quantum Upgraded Electric System of Tomorrow (QUEST) collaboration is being formed. The University of Denver created this effort to construct a university-industry partnership to use the power of quantum information and quantum computing to the difficulties of developing the grid of the future. The group will concentrate on creating new quantum models, methods, and algorithms to tackle a variety of grid issues faster and more precisely than previously feasible. Increased customer grid involvement, potential in distributed energy resource integration and use, improved power quality and reliability, and asset management and system efficiency are themes in focus. Demand-side management, electric car research, smart distribution, and cybersecurity are among the others.
Strong and long-lasting Indo-US connections are built on science and technology
India and the United States, two of the world's most powerful democracies, can work together to develop the next generation of quantum computers and other revolutionary technologies. This article by Prof Binay Panda from JNU Delhi shares multiple options and recommendations to enhance bilateral ties and to take the collaboration to the next level.
A 16-fold increase in performance in a year is a quantum milestone
Honeywell Quantum Solutions has delivered on its promise to expand the quantum volume of their trapped-ion computing technology. The Honeywell System Model H1 was the first quantum computer to pass IBM's Quantum Volume 1024 test, which measures a quantum computing system's overall capabilities and performance independent of technology. This is the latest achievement for Honeywell Quantum Solutions, which recently announced a merger with Cambridge Quantum Computing to become the world's largest stand-alone quantum computing firm.
