Game On: Quantinuum Demonstrates Exponential Edge Over Classical Strategies
Insider Brief A Quantinuum-led research team has demonstrated an exponentially widening gap between quantum and classical strategies in a test designed to verify quantum behavior without relying on unproven assumptions about computational difficulty. The study, published in Nature Communications, describes a game that asks a computer to produce an answer excluded from a hidden set […]
Qoro and Hartree Centre Partner on Hybrid Quantum-HPC Computing
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Qoro announced today a collaboration under a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the STFC Hartree Centre to develop hybrid quantum-classical computing capabilities. The project integrates Qoro’s software with Hartree Centre’s HPC infrastructure through the Quantum Resource Management Interface (QRMI), detailed in a recent publication on arXiv. The collaboration addresses a […]
Singapore, Luxembourg Target Deeper Cooperation in Quantum, AI And Space
Insider Brief Singapore and Luxembourg plan to deepen cooperation in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, space technology and satellite communications as the two small, trade-dependent nations seek closer economic and strategic ties. Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong identified the technologies as emerging and critical areas for collaboration during an official lunch for Luxembourg Prime Minister Luc […]
Guest Post: How Tokenized Finance Can Prepare for Post-Quantum Security
Guest Post by Edwin Mata, Co-Founder and CEO of Brickken Building financial infrastructure is strange: you have to make decisions today for assets that may still exist long after the underlying technology has changed. That is especially true in tokenization because a bond issued on-chain today might mature in twenty years. An interest in a […]
Fujitsu Develops Diamond-Spin Quantum Computer Prototype
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Fujitsu today announced that it has developed the world’s first working prototype of a diamond-spin quantum computer incorporating tin-vacancy (SnV) centers into photonic integrated circuits [1] [2]. The prototype can be operated at -271.6°C, higher than the typical operating temperature of superconducting quantum computers (-273.13°C) and Fujitsu has demonstrated in […]
India’s Global Fintech Fest 2026 to Highlight Quantum Technology, AI and Tokenization
Insider Brief Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to open the seventh Global Fintech Fest (GFF) in Mumbai on Tuesday, kicking off a four-day programme running September 8 through 11 that brings together regulators, financial institutions, technology firms, investors, and academics, the Free Press Journal reported. The event, which has run annually since 2020, carries […]
Guest Post: QML4Africa Highlights Growth of Africa’s Quantum Research Community
Guest Post by Somtochukwu Igwegbe, African Quantum Consortium Correspondent, Research & Development, Quantum Africa. Quantum computing hardware is being built almost entirely outside Africa, in laboratories across North America, Europe, and Asia. That fact has shaped how the continent is usually written into the story: as a market to eventually reach, not a place doing […]
Sparrow Quantum Sets Record With 500 Million Usable Photons Per Second
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — Quantum computers are being built in several ways: superconducting circuits, trapped ions, neutral atoms, semiconductor spins and photonics. Photonic quantum systems have one fundamental advantage: their information carriers can travel through optical fibre, making the same technology relevant to both quantum processors and quantum networks. What photonic quantum systems need […]
NEC Halts Development of Quantum Computer Hardware
Insider Brief NEC has ended its effort to build a working quantum computer, pulling back from a field that the company helped pioneer. The company discontinued development of a physical quantum computing system at the end of March, Nikkei Asia reported. NEC apparently concluded that bringing the technology to market would take too long to […]
Brian Gaucher (ERVA): Why engineering, not physics, now limits quantum progress
Yuval Boger interviews Brian Gaucher, an experienced engineer and IBM veteran who co-chaired ERVA’s report Engineering Research to Advance Quantum Technologies. Brian explains that while U.S. quantum science remains strong, global competition is accelerating and the key limiter is no longer physics discovery but engineering the path from “lab to fab”—scalable, manufacturable, reliable systems. They […]
