In Step Toward Quantum Networking, Penn Study Finds Quantum Light Pattern Can Survive Loss of Entanglement
Insider Brief University of Pennsylvania researchers have used a photonic chip to transfer a winding pattern in quantum light that survived noise even after entanglement disappeared, which they say could help develop quantum networks. Currently, scientists and engineers are exploring ways to create a quantum network that could, for example, connect two quantum computers in […]

Quantum Meet Quantum: Hybrid Quantum Computer Lets Scientists Peek in on Foundational Quantum Effect
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Physicists in the Department of Physics, University of Oxford, have used a hybrid quantum computer, formed by qubits and quantum oscillators, to observe the Aharonov-Bohm effect in a quantum simulation. The effect is a quantum phenomenon in which a particle can acquire a measurable phase by travelling around a magnetic […]
Corey O’Meara (E.ON): Finding Real Quantum Advantage in Grid Optimization
Yuval Boger interviews Corey O’Meara, Chief Quantum Scientist at E.ON Digital Technology. They discuss how E.ON’s five-person quantum team works with business units to find high-value use cases, especially where classical methods may hit bottlenecks in optimization and machine learning. Corey describes the company’s work on peer-to-peer energy trading and other grid-related applications, and shares […]
Tuning a Quantum Computer: What a Violin Teaches us About Qubit Calibration
Insider brief Before a violinist plays a note, they tune. Each string is tightened or loosened until it sounds exactly right, and even then, temperature and humidity will pull it out of tune again before long. Quantum computers have the same problem, only far more acute. That was the starting point for the latest episode […]
Guest Post: Quantum Computing’s Transistor Moment
A new paper demonstrating Grover’s search on a room-temperature diamond processor may echo the transistor’s takeover from vacuum tubes – and raises questions about how much vacuum-dependent quantum hardware survives the same transition. Guest Post By Prof. Dr. Marius Grundmann, CEO, SAXON Q Every disruptive technology has a quiet laboratory result that outsiders miss and […]
