How Scientists Backed Up Qubits — Without Being Copied
Insider Brief For decades, the no-cloning theorem has stood as one of quantum physics’ immovable rules. This theorem — which states an unknown quantum state cannot be copied — is not a technical limitation or a matter of engineering maturity. It is a consequence of how quantum mechanics itself works. The new result from researchers […]
Encrypted Qubits Can be Cloned: Scientists Discover First Method to Safely Back up Quantum Information
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — A team of researchers at the University of Waterloo have made a breakthrough in quantum computing that elegantly bypasses the fundamental “no cloning” problem. Quantum computing is an exciting technological frontier, where information is stored and processed in tiny units — called qubits. Qubits can be stored, for example, in […]

Quantum Computing Versus AI: Why The Quantum-Replaces-AI Hype is Wrong, But The Potential of Quantum AI is Real
Insider Brief For the past few years, quantum computing has increasingly been framed as the next technology poised to “replace” artificial intelligence. The narrative is seductive: AI is powerful but energy-hungry, data-intensive, and running into scaling limits; quantum computers promise exponential speedups and new ways of computing. Put the two together, the story goes, and […]
After a Year of Quantum Awareness, 2026 Becomes the Year of Quantum Security
