DARPA has launched a multi-phase initiative to accelerate the transition of chip-scale quantum technologies from laboratory research to commercial and defense applications. The Optical-Atomic System Integration & Calibration (OASIC) program, run under DARPA’s Small Business […]
The European Space Agency (ESA) and Spanish satellite operator Hispasat have signed an agreement to initiate Q-Design, a hybrid quantum key distribution (QKD) project that integrates geostationary (GEO), low-Earth orbit (LEO), and terrestrial QKD channels […]
Insider Brief: South Korea is actively progressing quantum from elite research to industrial use, with national forums, government policy, and real-world deployment strategies focused on integration across supply chains, sectors, and society. A previously announced […]
Insider Brief Quantum sensing startup Aquark Technologies completed a first-of-its-kind sea trial of its cold atom-based AQlock atomic clock aboard HMS Pursuer, demonstrating continuous operation in rough offshore conditions over three days. Backed by Innovate […]
For Martin Schrimpf, the promise of artificial intelligence is not in the tasks it can accomplish. It’s in what AI might reveal about human intelligence. He is working to build a “digital twin” of the […]

Vacuum is often thought of as empty, but in fact it is teeming with fleeting energy fluctuations—virtual photons popping in and out of existence that can interact with matter, giving rise to new, potentially useful […]
Quantum 9, 1776 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-06-18-1776 Despite significant advances in quantum algorithms, quantum programs in practice are often expressed at the circuit level, forgoing helpful structural abstractions common to their classical counterparts. Consequently, as many quantum […]
Quantum 9, 1775 (2025). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2025-06-18-1775 Different choices of quantum error-correcting codes can reduce the demands on the physical hardware needed to build a quantum computer. To achieve the full potential of a code, we must […]
Orange Quantum Systems (OrangeQS), a Dutch startup specializing in automated quantum chip characterization, has raised €12 million ($13.8 million USD) in an oversubscribed seed round. The round was led by Icecat Capital with participation from […]
