REPLY Brings Quantum Computing Into Practice
Reply is part of the research project "Bench-QC", which stands for application-driven benchmarking of quantum computing. The focus of the project, which is funded by the Bavarian State Ministry of Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy, is the practical usability of quantum computing in industrial applications. The initiative, consisting of industrial partners and Fraunhofer institutes, specifically identifies the applications for which quantum computing can provide a benefit to companies.

Reply has the role of consortium leader and is bringing in already implemented use cases in various industries in the field of quantum-inspired optimization. Reply has developed an efficient classical solver for QUBO (quadratic unconstrained binary optimization) problems: the Reply tool "MegaQUBO" finds solutions for tens of thousands of variables within seconds. Reply's reference implementation for hybrid neural networks is also included in the benchmarking project.
Filippo Rizzante, CTO at Reply, commented: "We are very excited to bring quantum computing into practice. With this initiative, we want to bring academic discussions to the business world and show companies how they can use quantum computing commercially and the benefits they can derive from it. That is why we have developed quantum-inspired algorithms that allow us to describe and optimize complex situations, giving companies time and cost savings".
In addition to Reply, the project partners include BMW, and the two Fraunhofer institutes for Integrated Circuits IIS, and for Cognitive Systems IKS. The lighthouse project, scheduled for three years, is part of the Munich Quantum Valley of the Bavarian state government, and aims to establish expertise in quantum computing and quantum technologies in Bavaria.

Curing the Incurable with ‘Biological Age Zero’ Cells: Clonell™ Launches the Ultimate Regenerative Medicine Platform5.1.2026 15:00:00 EET | Press release
Clonell Therapeutics, Inc., a leading biotechnology company dedicated to curing intractable and incurable diseases, announced today the official launch of the world's first 'Patient-Specific Embryonic Stem Cell (Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer-derived Embryonic Stem Cell, hereinafter SCNT-ESC)' therapy platform based on Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) technology. Concurrently, the company has initiated its innovative 'Patient-Initiated Clinical Trial™' to apply this breakthrough technology directly to patients. This platform launch is evaluated as presenting the true 'Gold Standard' in regenerative medicine by perfectly resolving the inherent challenges—such as immune rejection, incomplete reprogramming, and the inheritance of aging—that have been cited as limitations of existing stem cell therapies. Clonell's SCNT technology establishes a patient-specific embryonic stem cell line by transferring the nucleus of a patient's somatic cell into a healthy enucleated oocyte. This process
