Insider Brief Fujitsu has released a major open-source operations software for quantum computers on GitHub to support broader access and usability in cloud environments. Developed with partners including the University of Osaka, the toolchain enables customizable end-to-end quantum system operation, reducing the need for institutions to build software from scratch. Read more…
Insider Brief Scientists at RIKEN CEMS have discovered that twisting atomically thin layers in a device can precisely control superconductivity by tuning the superconducting gap in momentum space. The team used ultrathin niobium diselenide on graphene and adjusted twist angles to manipulate the energy threshold for breaking Cooper pairs, revealing Read more…
Insider Brief: Quantum Day’s placement and tone reflected a broader communication gap in quantum computing—unlike the interactive, visually rich displays at GTC, quantum remains abstract, technical, and largely invisible to broader audiences. The panel highlighted diverse hardware approaches and scalability goals, but much of the language used—error correction, logical qubits, Read more…
Insider Brief ULVAC and ULVAC CRYOGENICS INC. are developing a next-generation dilution refrigerator for quantum computers with input from IBM, aiming to strengthen Japan’s domestic supply of cryogenic systems essential for quantum research and commercialization. The system features high cooling performance near 10 millikelvin, a scalable modular design, and in-house Read more…
Insider Brief Researchers at D-Wave have developed and tested a blockchain prototype that uses quantum computers to perform mining through a new consensus method called proof of quantum work. The system replaces energy-intensive classical mining with quantum computations that are infeasible for classical machines, achieving stable operation across four quantum Read more…
Insider Brief: NVIDIA positions quantum computing not as a hardware race but as a shared infrastructure challenge requiring accelerated computing, deep integration, and AI-driven collaboration. At GTC 2025, NVIDIA reinforced this role by announcing the NVIDIA Accelerated Quantum Center and announcing a series of quantum partnerships that emphasize hybrid quantum-classical Read more…
Insider Brief QCi reported a widened fourth-quarter net loss of $51.2 million on falling revenue and missed earnings, while increasing its cash reserves through stock offerings. Revenue for the quarter came in at $62,000, below the prior year and short of the $400,000 consensus forecast, with an EPS miss of Read more…
Insider Brief MIT researchers developed a new interconnect device that enables direct communication between multiple superconducting quantum processors, overcoming the limitations of current point-to-point architectures. The device uses a superconducting wire, or waveguide, to shuttle microwave photons, allowing quantum information to be transmitted efficiently and supporting scalable, all-to-all connectivity. Using Read more…
Insider Brief Quantum Machines has launched the NVIDIA DGX Quantum Early Customer Program, bringing six top-tier research groups and quantum computer developers into the first deployment of an integrated quantum-classical computing system. The system, developed with NVIDIA, pairs QM’s OPX1000 quantum control platform with NVIDIA’s GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips, enabling Read more…
