Insider Brief Despite hardware progress, quantum computing still lacks widely accepted applications, prompting a call for theorists to focus on discovering useful quantum algorithms. A Caltech doctoral student argues that the ideal quantum algorithm should be provably correct, outperform classical methods on average-case inputs, and produce results that are verifiable Read more…
Insider Brief Fujitsu and RIKEN have unveiled a 256-qubit superconducting quantum computer, quadrupling their previous system’s capacity and advancing Japan’s position in the global quantum race. The system uses a scalable 3D architecture and enhanced cooling design, enabling practical research in error correction and complex molecular modeling. Set for global Read more…
Insider Brief: PsiQuantum donated $10,000 to Bowen High School to enhance its quantum science and engineering curriculum, funding classroom technologies such as VR equipment, drones, and robotics kits. The donation, which quadruples the school’s annual science budget, will support existing quantum-focused lessons and expand hands-on learning through maker spaces and Read more…
Insider Brief Researchers used Quantinuum’s H1 quantum computer to demonstrate a robust and scalable quantum game that consistently achieved quantum “pseudotelepathy.” The experiment involved arranging entangled qubits into a topological phase—like a knotwork—that resisted errors even when disturbed. The study highlights how current quantum devices can already outperform classical strategies Read more…
“The Superposition Guy’s Podcast”, hosted by Yuval Boger, Chief Commercial Officer at QuEra Computing Daniel Porat and Prof. Emanuele Dalla-Torre of Quantimize join Yuval Boger to discuss their work in quantum optimization and hybrid quantum-classical algorithms. Daniel, CEO of Quantimize, describes how the company focuses on real-world optimization problems in Read more…
Insider Brief India and Italy signed a new scientific cooperation agreement targeting joint initiatives in quantum technology, artificial intelligence, and biotechnology. The 2025–2027 Executive Programme of Cooperation will support 10 research mobility projects and 10 major collaborative research efforts. The agreement builds on more than 150 prior joint projects and Read more…
Insider Brief Researchers demonstrated that quantum strategies can outperform classical ones in trading scenarios by experimentally verifying quantum game theory on a real quantum computer. By entangling qubits and using a quantum logic gate as a referee, players achieved higher payoffs in games like Prisoner’s Dilemma and Chicken without direct Read more…
Insider Brief The Trump administration is embracing quantum technology as a strategic tool for national security, infrastructure protection, and space exploration, despite tensions with scientific agencies. Federal leaders acknowledge the importance of international alliances, talent pipelines and trusted supply chains in advancing U.S. quantum leadership, GovCIO reports. Agencies including DOE, Read more…
Insider Brief: Colorado is building a quantum workforce from the ground up, with a new K–12 blueprint that integrates quantum education into classrooms, career pathways, and teacher training programs across the state. The state is bringing together research and commercialization through infrastructure like the Boulder quantum incubator and Quantum COmmons, Read more…
Insider Brief Creotech Instruments will spin off its quantum division into a separate company by early 2026 to accelerate commercialization and attract dedicated funding. The new entity will focus on quantum key distribution, quantum processor control systems, ultra-precise time synchronization (White Rabbit), and advanced scientific cameras. The spin-off aims to Read more…
