Insider Brief Penn State researchers have developed Q-Fusion, an AI system that automatically generates valid quantum circuits using a diffusion-based approach. The system achieved 100% validity across thousands of test cases, meaning every circuit it produced followed the rules of quantum mechanics and could run on real quantum hardware. Unlike Read more…

Guest Post by Charlene FlickThe post first appeared on LinkedIn In an AI-obsessed world, quantum computing innovation plods along just beneath the surface in relative obscurity and largely confined to the domain of physicists and academia. But look beyond the promise of artificial intelligence and multiply it manyfold — you Read more…

Insider Brief Neutral atoms—atoms with balanced charges—can be cooled to near absolute zero and manipulated using lasers, enabling their use in atomic clocks, quantum sensors, and potentially error-corrected quantum computers. As tech giants race to build practical quantum computers, Swinburne University of Technology is advancing research into ultracold neutral atoms, Read more…

Insider Brief Korean quantum software firm ORIENTOM and Thai energy-solution company EQ Tech Energy signed an MOU to jointly develop a “Quantum Electric Grid” that applies quantum computing to power grid optimization.
