Insider Brief Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson faced community opposition over the planned $9 billion Quantum Shore development but declined activists’ calls to halt the project. Community groups, including Southside Together, are urging the city to […]
Insider Brief Researchers at the University of Basel and Technical University of Munich have developed an optical method to study the collective motion of electrons in Wigner crystals. The team observed optical signatures produced by […]
Insider Brief China is testing quantum sensing, secure communications and computing at the 220-kilovolt Houdian demonstration substation in Hefei to improve power-grid monitoring, security and analysis. The facility, commissioned in November 2024, has deployed 85 […]
Insider Brief NHanced Semiconductors and the University of Florida will present research on advanced packaging approaches for silicon photonics at the 2026 SMTA International Conference. The paper will examine copper-copper hybrid bonding and silicon interposers […]
Insider Brief Argonne National Laboratory is launching a three-year, $1 million project to develop diamond-based quantum sensors for high-precision electromagnetic field measurements in high-energy physics experiments. The project will use nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond […]
Insider Brief Silicon’s path from beach sand to quantum processor traces an unbroken arc from 1950s transistor doping to purified spin qubits. Two 1998 proposals, Loss-DiVincenzo’s quantum-dot qubit and Kane’s phosphorus-donor qubit, wagered that silicon’s […]
Insider Brief D-Wave has appointed technology finance executive Kevan P. Krysler to its Board of Directors and Audit Committee. Krysler currently serves as CFO of Carbon Robotics and previously held senior finance roles at Everpure, […]
Insider Brief QpiAI opened a quantum processor manufacturing facility in Bengaluru capable of fabricating superconducting chips with up to 128 qubits, with plans to scale capacity to 10,000 physical qubits in 2027. The foundry will […]
Insider Brief Researchers observed unusual quantum oscillations in the topological insulator ZrTe₅ that persist beyond the quantum limit under extreme magnetic fields and near-zero temperatures. The study attributes the behavior to reentrant Landau levels caused […]
Insider Brief Two Fraunhofer IAF publications propose methods for assessing potential quantum advantage under more realistic physical conditions and across increasing problem sizes. A quantum chemistry review argues that controlled dissipation and interactions with the […]
