Insider Brief A neutral-atom quantum processor has demonstrated sustained rounds of error correction and logical operations on encoded data, potentially a critical step toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. The system applied surface-code error correction over multiple cycles, used machine learning to decode errors, and executed logic gates and teleportation protocols Read more…

Insider Brief Xanadu has opened a $10 million advanced photonic packaging facility in Toronto, the first of its kind in Canada dedicated to producing ultra-low loss quantum components. The facility enables domestic, end-to-end manufacturing of high-performance photonic hardware and is now accessible to universities, startups, and industry partners. Supported by Read more…

Insider Brief IonQ has announced the first known quantum simulation of neutrinoless double-beta decay, a rare nuclear process with implications for understanding the matter–antimatter imbalance in the universe. Using IonQ’s Forte Enterprise quantum system and a co-designed approach with the University of Washington and DOE researchers, the team simulated lepton-number Read more…

Insider Brief U.S. officials warned that current encryption systems could be broken by future quantum computers, and urged swift modernization of federal cybersecurity infrastructure to protect national security. Witnesses told Congress that quantum computing progress is accelerating and adversaries may already be collecting encrypted data to decrypt once the technology Read more…
