The company formalized a research collaboration with Eindhoven University of Technology under the ACE QKD programme to test, validate and strengthen … Read more

The history of distributed computing is one of protocol proliferation followed by consolidation. Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Java remote method invocation (RMI), and early simple object access protocol (SOAP) competed for the enterprise integration market in the late 1990s before representational state transfer (REST) quietly won by being … Read more

Insider Brief Israel’s Innovation Authority and the Ministry of Defense’s DDR&D have launched a new initiative worth up to NIS 150 million — about $51.4 million USD — to establish advanced integrated photonics infrastructure aimed at accelerating the development and commercialization of photonic chips in Israel. The selected facility will provide end-to-end R&D services — … Read more

The US government last night issued an unprecedented export control directive ordering Anthropic to immediately suspend all access to its top-tier Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 models for foreign nationals, citing unspecified national security authorities. In response, Anthropic has blocked all public access to both models, globally — meaning no users around the … Read more

Insider Brief A Nature study from Microsoft Quantum and Quantinuum found that quantum error-correction techniques reduced computational errors by factors ranging from 11-fold to 800-fold compared with equivalent calculations performed directly on physical qubits. Using two error-correction approaches known as the carbon code and tesseract code, the researchers demonstrated repeated mid-computation error correction and lower … Read more

Guest Post by Komala S Madineedi Every new compute paradigm eventually gets measured against the data center playbook. Not because data centers represent the endpoint of computing, but because they represent one of the most successful examples of compute industrialization. Over decades, computing evolved from individual hardware components into layered systems of infrastructure, platforms, ecosystems, … Read more

Insider Brief A Coinbase advisory board report concluded that while quantum computers capable of breaking current blockchain cryptography are not imminent, the cryptocurrency industry should begin preparing now for a transition to post-quantum security. The report identified post-quantum migration challenges including larger signature sizes, the lack of efficient post-quantum aggregate signatures, potential impacts on blockchain … Read more
