Penn Engineers Send Quantum Signals with Standard Internet Protocol
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — In a first-of-its-kind experiment, engineers at the University of Pennsylvania brought quantum networking out of the lab and onto commercial fiber-optic cables using the same Internet Protocol (IP) that powers today’s web. Reported in Science, the work shows that fragile quantum signals can run on the same infrastructure that carries […]
M Squared Lasers Placed Into Administration, Seeks Buyer For Assets
Insider Brief M Squared Lasers, a Glasgow-based photonics and quantum technology company once regarded as a UK deep tech success story, has ceased trading and entered administration after nearly two decades in business, according to Business Cloud. In the UK, “administration” is similar to U.S. bankruptcy protection: a formal insolvency process where an independent administrator […]

MRI Technology Inspires Quantum Advancement with 2D Materials
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — The same technology behind MRI images of injury or disease also powers nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, which is used to analyze biological molecules for research on diseases and therapeutics. While NMR spectroscopy produces valuable data about the structure of molecules, the resolution is too low to sense individual atoms. […]
NASA Selects Planette to Develop the First Quantum-Inspired AI System For Extreme Weather Prediction
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Extreme weather is on the rise, but even state-of-the-art forecasting technologies struggle to provide accurate, timely predictions for extremes like heavy rainfall, heatwaves, and thunderstorms. To address this limitation, Planette, a leader in long-range weather prediction technology, was selected by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to develop QubitCast, a next-generation […]
