How to Build a Quantum Blockchain: Researchers Test a Blockchain That Only Quantum Computers Can Mine
Insider Brief A team of D-Wave researchers has built and tested a blockchain that can only be mined using quantum computers, marking the first real-world application of quantum supremacy in blockchain technology. The study, published on the pre-print server arXiv, outlines a prototype blockchain system that replaces the energy-intensive classical “proof of work” with a […]
NVIDIA’s Quantum Strategy: Not Building the Computer, But the World That Enables It
Insider Brief: Quantum computing isn’t a new frontier for NVIDIA—it’s a systems-level challenge, and one the company is uniquely positioned to support. NVIDIA doesn’t see quantum as a race to build the biggest machine, but as a shared infrastructure problem, and one that demands accelerated computing, scaled collaboration, and deep integration across disciplines. This mindset […]
QCi Raises Cash, But Revenues Remain Marginal
Insider Brief Quantum Computing Inc. (QCi) posted a fourth-quarter net loss of $51.2 million, significantly widening from $6.8 million a year earlier, as non-cash accounting charges weighed on results, according to a company statement. However, the company added new capital to its balance sheet. Quantum Computing’s actual EPS of -$0.47 fell short of the forecasted […]
Device Enables Direct Communication Among Multiple Quantum Processors
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum computers have the potential to solve complex problems that would be impossible for the most powerful classical supercomputer to crack. Just like a classical computer has separate, yet interconnected, components that must work together, such as a memory chip and a CPU on a motherboard, a quantum computer will […]
