Zurich Instruments Launches the ZQCS Quantum Control System to Master the Long-Lived Logical Qubit Challenge
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Zurich Instruments announced the ZQCS Quantum Control System, a next‑generation platform to operate large-scale quantum computers. It is engineered to tackle the pivotal challenge on the path to fault‑tolerant quantum computing: building long‑lived logical qubits. Physical qubits are fragile; noise and drift can erase quantum information in microseconds. The remedy […]
Guest Post: 2026 Global Strategy Briefing For Boards on Organizational Stewardship in The Age of Quantum And AI
Guest Post by Marvin Cheung, Co-Managing Director, Quantum Oaks Advisory at Unbuilt Labs When we talk about organizational stewardship, people tend to think it operates on a 30-year horizon. Nowadays, boards face increasing pressures to focus on the near-term. Famously, Netflix launched its on-demand streaming service in 2007, and Blockbuster filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy […]
Understanding Quantum Networking and Its Industrial Potential
Insider Brief Quantum computers remain in their experimental phase, and meanwhile another branch of quantum technology is already moving from laboratory demonstrations to real-world deployment – quantum networking. Quantum networks don’t perform calculations faster than classical computers. Instead, they transmit information in ways that classical networks fundamentally cannot, creating communication channels that are provably secure […]
New Method Could Simplify Quantum Process Tomography in Large Quantum Systems
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum computers work by applying quantum operations, such as quantum gates, to delicate quantum states. Ideally, quantum computers can solve complex equations at staggeringly fast speeds that vastly outpace regular computers. In real hardware, the operations of quantum computers often deviate from the ideal behavior because of device imperfections and […]
Guest Post: How Smaller Nations Should Navigate the Quantum Future — With Lessons Learned from AI’s Growth
Guest post By Alexander Brunner, Chief Executive Officer of Brunner Digital There’s no question the quantum future is coming. As nations and businesses look at how, when and where growth will come from in this exciting emerging sector, recent history can provide useful insights. For smaller nations, security and economic lessons from the development of […]
Podcast with Kike Miralles, investment director at Intel Capital
Kike Miralles, investment director at Intel Capital, is interviewed by Yuval Boger. They speak about corporate venture investing in quantum technologies. Kike explains Intel Capital’s focus on quantum hardware and middleware, compares leading modalities, and outlines emerging themes like QPU scale-out networking, hybrid classical–quantum error correction, and the growing role of logical qubits as a core metric. He also discusses check sizes and stages, government-heavy revenue, PR and hype in quantum, expected consolidation among hardware players, and what differentiates strong quantum investors and startups in today’s market.
Scientists Propose Quantum Computers Could Generate Data to Train AI For Chemistry
Insider Brief Two researchers, now from rival quantum computing companies, have teamed up to propose that quantum technology’s most practical near-term role may be training artificial intelligence (AI) systems to simulate chemistry, a strategy they propose could accelerate the discovery of new materials and drugs long before large-scale quantum machines arrive. In an essay published […]
QuantrolOx and MAHE Launch Quantum Hub to Build Open Quantum Ecosystem
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — QuantrolOx, a company developing quantum automation tools and Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), an Institution of Eminence Deemed-to-be University, today announced a partnership to develop Quantum-Hub@MAHE (Q-HUB@MAHE) at Manipal Institute of Technology (MIT), Bengaluru, a university-led indigenous open-architecture quantum ecosystem. “Coming on the back of the EU-India Free Trade […]
Inside Tennessee’s Growing Quantum Ecosystem and its Federal Impact
Insider Brief Quantum technology does not follow the usual script for regional economic development. There is not always a ribbon-cutting on a single campus that marks the moment a state “becomes” a quantum hub. Instead, the pattern tends to be structural – a sequence of investments, institutional commitments, and policy decisions that, taken together, cross […]
Kvantify Partners with Danish Universities on Quantum Drug Discovery Project
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Kvantify is partnering with Aarhus University and Aalborg University in a new project designed to bring quantum computing closer to real-world application in drug discovery. The project, Optimal Design Automation towards a Performant Quantum Software Stack (ODAQS), has received DKK 17.4 million in funding from the Innovation Fund Denmark (Grand Solutions program). The goal is to develop advanced quantum […]
