What Quantum Technology is and Why it Matters
Insider Brief The term “quantum technology” has entered mainstream discourse with increasing frequency, appearing in government policy documents, corporate strategy announcements, venture capital portfolios, and media headlines. However, the phrase often gets used imprecisely, sometimes referring exclusively to quantum computing while ignoring equally transformative developments in sensing and communications. Quantum technology is not a single […]
Top Photonic Quantum Computing Companies in 2026
Insider Brief What is Photonic Quantum Computing? Photonic quantum computing encodes information in photons, individual particles of light, rather than in superconducting circuits or trapped ions. This approach offers several distinctive properties. Photonic systems can operate at room temperature, avoiding the costly dilution refrigerators required by superconducting qubits. They are naturally compatible with existing fiber […]

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Q*Bird, the Dutch leader in quantum secure communication, in collaboration with the Walton Institute at South East Technological University in Waterford (SETU), has deployed Ireland’s first multi-node, entanglement-based Measurement-Device-Independent Quantum Key Distribution (MDI-QKD) network. The deployment forms part of the IrelandQCI project, the country’s national quantum communications initiative and a […]
Scientists Fuse Quantum And Classical Computing to Improve Accuracy
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — The travelling salesman problem may be the most well-known optimization problem. The problem challenges mathematicians to calculate the best route for a hypothetical salesperson. The more stops the salesperson makes in order to sell their goods, the more difficult it becomes to calculate the most efficient route that hits all […]
Podcast with Zach Yerushalmi, CEO, Elevate Quantum
Yuval Boger interviews Zach Yerushalmi, CEO of Elevate Quantum and leader of the U.S. Quantum Tech Hub.
