Texas A&M Researchers Develop Quantum Technique for Drug Discovery
Insider Brief It’s one thing to design a pharmaceutical drug. It’s another to know if and why it actually works. Not on paper or in a computer model. But inside the chaotic world of living systems, where proteins twist into shape, atoms constantly pull and push each other apart and molecular interactions are the difference […]
QuTech Demonstrates Coherent Diamond Quantum Emitter Interface for Quantum Networks
Insider Brief Future quantum networks will depend on reliable handshakes between two very different carriers of quantum information: solid-state qubits that can store and process information, and photons that can carry it between distant nodes. A team of researchers from QuTech has demonstrated an efficient and coherent interface between a diamond-based quantum emitter and photons […]
Which Light is Right For Quantum Sensing?
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Optically addressable spin defects in solid-state materials have rapidly emerged as promising candidates for quantum sensing applications. Defects in diamond have been the most widely studied, demonstrating the ability to sense magnetic and electric fields, temperature, and pressure. However, diamond has a fundamental limitation due to its rigid, three-dimensional structure […]
Physicists Set Sail on a Strange Quantum State Called a Fractional Fermi Sea
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — In a new study published in Physical Review Letters, a team of the Nägerl group jointly with theory collaborator Alvise Bastianello from the CNRS and the Université Paris-Dauphine demonstrates that highly unusual quantum states known as “fractional Fermi seas” can be quantum engineered. By driving quantum particles, here ultracold Cesium atoms […]

Insider Brief Türkiye has set out a detailed plan for entering the global quantum race, publishing a national roadmap that names 85 specific technologies the country intends to pursue across the three pillars of the field — computing, sensing and communication. The document, the Quantum Technologies OTAĞ Result Report, was produced by the Presidency of […]
Top Quantum Computing Investors in 2026
Insider Brief Quantum computing investment has moved through several distinct phases. The hype-driven cycle of 2018-2020, when capital flowed toward anything with “quantum” in the pitch, gave way to a more selective period in 2022-2024, when investors demanded evidence of technical progress. Then came 2025. According to QED-C’s State of the Global Quantum Industry 2026 […]
University of Maryland Grant Targets Quantum and AI Tools for Cancer Research
Insider Brief The University of Maryland is backing a new effort to use quantum computing and artificial intelligence to speed the search for better ways to detect and treat cancer. The project is one of 11 research efforts funded through the university’s Grand Challenges Grants Program, a three-year initiative that will provide nearly $15 million […]
Yale Officials Say $4 Million NSF Grant Will Boost Unique Approach to Quantum Computing
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — A Yale-led project — aided by a national community of researchers — has reached the next step in its effort to develop the first large-scale, error-correcting quantum computer. More than a year ago, the ERASE project — Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage — was one of six pilot projects awarded […]
Tennessee Employers Explore Quantum Opportunities Through New Pre-Apprenticeship
Insider Brief Press release – The Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative (CQC) has selected 18 professionals from 17 Tennessee employers to participate in the nation’s first quantum pre-apprenticeship, an initiative designed to help companies better understand quantum technologies and identify potential opportunities for future adoption. Originally envisioned as a 10-person pilot, the Quantum Ready Pre-Apprenticeship was expanded […]
