Novo Nordisk Foundation is aggressively expanding its investment in quantum, according to a Financial Times interview with CEO Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen. The strategy includes more than $92 million (80 million euro) invested in QuNorth, a company established last year by Novo Nordisk Foundation and Denmark’s Export Credit Agency and National Promotional Bank. QuNorth is building a quantum computer with Atom Computing and Microsoft and is currently selecting “flagship teams” from the Nordic region to run the first applications on the system.

The foundation has also coordinatied with the European Union and companies in Europe on drug pricing and tech policy, “as frictions between European countries and the US increased.”

Data center developers talked construction expansion, the impact of cryogenic demands, and the plans of quantum leaders like PsiQuantum and Oxford Quantum Circuits. Equinix’s Petrina Anne Steele pointed out that different technical approaches to quantum computing will require different data center solutions.

“We work closely with providers, and depending on their technology and architecture today, we figure out how to best house them,” she said. “But we’re also starting to ask them, ‘What do you think you will need in three years?’ and 'How can we best optimize and simplify access for your customers and partners?'”

On the heels of RIKEN and IBM’s announcement of a calculation on a quantum-classical hybrid, RIKEN and Quantinuum announced a similar success last week. The run, on RIKEN’s Fugaku and Quantinuum’s Reimei trapped-ion system, explored chemical reactions that occur inside biomolecules like proteins. The run was coordinated through Quantinuum’s workflow system, Tierkreis, which allows jobs to move efficiently between machines.
