What about getting back to work with a quantum touch ? ➡ Join us Next Thursday !

How has the quantum investments scene been changing over the quarters? We’ve tracked global investments in quantum startups from the second half of 2022 through the first half of 2024. Although the number of deals in the third and fourth quarters of 2023 was higher, the total amount invested was significantly lower. This is because these quarters saw more low-volume deals, unlike other periods, which featured substantial Series C, D, and E rounds. In Q3 and Q4 of 2023, the number of deals is significant, but they all amount to $389 – a sum much lower than in other periods where less deals took place. This contract can be explained by major late-stage investments done in late 2023/early 2024. These include a $500 million Series D investment in the U.S.-based startup SandboxAQ by Breyer Capital, T. Rowe Price, and TimeVentures and a $617 million Series E round for PsiQuantum, another U.S. startup, supported by the Australian National Quantum Strategy budget. The shift to smaller deals in late 2023 suggests caution in the market, but the large investments in SandboxAQ and PsiQuantum show the potential for big bets on promising startups. It is, however, once again showing a trend of American startups making fewer deals, but of higher value, while European companies tend to secure more deals, but with smaller investment amounts.   Within the Qu-Test and Qu-Pilot projects, we are diligently tracking all global investments and deals in the quantum technology sector. Our goal is to regularly share updates, so stay tuned for more valuable insights to quantum founders, investors, and professionals alike. Keep an eye on further insights!

🗓️Save the Date: November 19-20, 2024 Quantonation is thrilled to announce the second edition of the #AlainAspectSymposium on Quantum Technologies Applications, taking place at iXcampus in Saint-Germain-en-Laye on November 19th-20th. Following the success of the first symposium in Sherbrooke in 2023, which focused on quantum healthcare, this year's theme is #Quantum and #Climate.   🚩Exploring Quantum Solutions for Climate Change This event will bring together leading climate scientists and quantum industry specialists to explore the transformative potential of quantum technologies in tackling climate change challenge, covering topics such as materials science, electrical grids optimization, and climate modeling. It will feature two days of presentations, breakout sessions, and debates and will therefore offers opportunities for new collaborations.    🚩Interdisciplinary Discussions Discover the program and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/d__v3Zka Attendance is limited to 250 people. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to be part of the future of climate action and quantum technology! One of the highlights of this symposium will be the interaction between climate scientists, and quantum specialists. This cross-disciplinary dialogue aims to ensure that our discussions and conclusions are grounded in science and facts, effectively preventing greenwashing.   Join us for this insightful event where science meets innovation to tackle one of the most pressing issues of our time. alain aspect Christophe Jurczak Olivier Tonneau Pauline Boucher William Zeng Eléonore de Rose Clara Doly iXcampus Annarita Giani GE Research Karl Thibault Institut quantique - Université de Sherbrooke Vincent Aimez Rémi Carminati Institut d'Optique Graduate School Siméon Valdman Le Lab Quantique   Press release : https://lnkd.in/ddu-8-7U   #QuantumTechnology #ClimateChange #Symposium #Innovation #Science

***English version below*** 💡 Le saviez-vous ? Exail, pionnier dans le développement des capteurs #quantiques industriels à base d'atomes froids, met actuellement au point une nouvelle génération de gravimètres quantiques industriels de terrain pour les géosciences et le génie civil (cartographie précise du sous-sol). 📩 Le dernière lettre #innovation du CNRS met en lumière ce projet #HorizonEurope FIQUgS, porté par dix partenaires technologiques européens (dont laboratoire SYRTE, BRGM et NAQUIDIS Center en France) et coordonné par Exail. ➡ https://lnkd.in/gKEnAabd 👉 Les premiers prototypes de gravimètres hybrides développés dans le cadre du projet FIQUgS seront bientôt testés en laboratoire, au SYRTE, avant d’entamer les campagnes d’essais en environnement extérieur. Leonid Sidorenkov Camille Janvier Audrey Durand --- Did you know that Exail, a pioneer in the development of industry-grade quantum sensors based on cold-atoms, is now fine-tunning a new generation of field compatible quantum gravimeters for geoscience and civil engineering (accurate underground mapping)? In its latest #innovation newsletter, the French National Research Center (CNRS) highlights the #HorizonEurope project FIQUgS, that involves ten European technological partners, led by Exail. Read here (in French): https://lnkd.in/gKEnAabd The first hybrid gravimeter prototypes developed within the FIQUgS project will soon be tested at SYRTE laboratory, before the beginning of a testing campaign on the field.

💡 Exail leads the way of the quantum revolution by pioneering #photonics components and integrated #lasers for the manipulation of quantum objects. With such technologies, Exail enables mature applications in quantum communication (#QKD), quantum sensing, quantum computing and quantum simulation! 🤝 If you couldn’t meet our colleagues Clément RAIGNER and Herve Gouraud at Optica #Quantum 2.0 conference this week in Rotterdam, you can contact them or visit our dedicated webpage to know more about our solutions: ➡https://lnkd.in/e_GcWAuE Our expert, Peter Rosenbusch, also attended the conference as a panelist on "Can Quantum Help Metrology?“. And he gave a presentation about "Differential Quantum Gravimeters (DQG) for Field Measurements" with take-home messages being: 👉 Exail's Absolute Quantum Gravimeter (AQG) is an industry-grade transportable #quantumsensor measuring gravity with high-performance and unmatched robustness 👉 the DQG is a unique instrument able to measure simultaneously the absolute values of both gravitational acceleration and its vertical gradient with state-of-the-art performance (https://lnkd.in/eY3X5Z2j). With its high sensitivity and unreported stability, it offers new perspectives for accurate underground mapping, in #geoscience and civil engineering. A field compatible DQG is currently in development in the framework of the #HorizonEurope project FIQUgS🌱. / Camille Janvier Cedric Majek Bruno Desruelle NAQUIDIS Center
