Most people think of diamonds as high-end adornments. Not Ania Bleszynski Jayich. The UC Santa Barbara physicist sees diamonds, which she grows in the UC Quantum Foundry, as a potentially powerful foundation for quantum sensors. […]
Yuval Boger interviews mathematician Gil Kalai about his long-standing skepticism regarding scalable quantum computing. Kalai explains two main arguments behind his theory: correlated noise that may defeat quantum error correction and complexity-based limits on NISQ […]
Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research team at the University of Vienna, together with colleagues at TU Wien and Ulm […]
As Beijing’s 15th Five-Year Plan designates quantum as the country’s top “future industry,” two startups close ~$145 million rounds within days of each other, marking the return of large-scale capital to a sector that went quiet […]
This story was supported by the Pulitzer Center. One Tuesday in June 2025, a white Chevy Suburban set off down the northernmost highway in North America. The sun of Alaska’s polar summer hadn’t set in […]
Insider Brief QBoson raised CNY1 billion ($145 million) in a Series B round to scale quantum chip production and expand its computing systems. The company will use the funds to build a pilot chip production […]
The electrons that power our society flow left and right through the circuitry in our electronics, back and forth along the transmission lines that make up our power grid, and up and down to light […]
Q-Factor, a Tel Aviv-based quantum hardware startup, has exited stealth with $24 million (USD) in seed funding to develop a million-qubit neutral atom quantum computer. The investment round was led by NFX and TPY Capital, […]
Insider Brief Q-Factor raised $24 million in seed funding to develop a neutral atom quantum computing architecture designed to scale from thousands to potentially millions of qubits. The company aims to address a central industry […]
Insider Brief Quantum computing poses a fundamental threat to widely used encryption systems including RSA, elliptic curve cryptography, and Diffie-Hellman key exchange, which secure everything from online banking to government communications, with algorithms like Shor’s […]
