Insider Brief Researchers from Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and the German Aerospace Center showed that quantum mechanics can be formulated using real numbers under an alternative set of physical assumptions. The study challenges earlier conclusions that complex numbers are fundamentally required for quantum mechanics while producing predictions indistinguishable from standard quantum theory. The research was … Read more

Insider Brief Nord Quantique published research demonstrating quantum error correction of a single-mode grid state qubit with state preparation and measurement errors below 0.1%. The company’s approach uses a repeat-until-success stabilization protocol to improve state preparation fidelity while supporting its bosonic quantum computing architecture. The results address a key challenge for GKP-based systems and support … Read more

Insider Brief Japanese neutral-atom quantum computing startup Yaqumo raised a seed extension round from JIC Venture Growth Investments and Toyota Invention Partners to support commercialization and long-term growth. The investment represents the first quantum computing hardware investment for JIC VGI and the first quantum computing startup investment for Toyota Invention Partners. Yaqumo said the new … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers developed a hybrid quantum-classical AI system that designed immune-targeting peptides, with quantum-generated inputs improving peptide discovery for understudied HLA variants and producing laboratory-validated binders. The quantum-enhanced model generated more predicted strong-binding peptides than conventional approaches, with the largest improvements occurring for HLA variants that have limited training data. The researchers caution that … Read more

Insider Brief Israeli quantum computing companies Quantum Art and Classiq are reportedly in advanced talks to go public on Wall Street through SPAC mergers that could value each company between $2 billion and $5 billion. Quantum Art is developing trapped-ion quantum hardware, while Classiq builds quantum software and has partnerships and customers that include Nvidia, … Read more

DeepSeek’s recent decision to drastically cut pricing on its V4-Pro model by 75% should have been unequivocally good news for enterprise AI vendors and developers. Instead, many are discovering that cheaper models don’t automatically translate into healthier margins.The reason is simple: While inference costs plummet, agent systems are voraciously consuming tokens faster than prices are declining. … Read more

Slopsquatting represents an emerging supply chain threat made possible by AI hallucinations. As developers increasingly rely on AI coding assistants, they unknowingly grant cybercriminals access to their software from day one. Understanding what slopsquatting isSlopsquatting is a new type of supply chain attack that uses large language model (LLM) hallucinations to inject malicious code into development … Read more

Guest Post by Yonathan Cohen, Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Quantum Machines. Something is changing in the quantum industry. Not long ago, most conversations focused almost entirely on qubits: fidelities, coherence times, error rates, and which hardware modality might eventually win. Those questions are clearly critical and stand at the heart of bringing quantum computers to … Read more

An enterprise AI agent answers with total confidence, but the number is wrong. Nobody catches it until someone traces it back to a stale metric definition or a document the retrieval system never pulled. The model did not fail. The context it was given did.In the past six months, 57% of enterprises traced a confident … Read more

OpenAI on Thursday launched ChatGPT Work, a new AI agent embedded inside its flagship chatbot that aims to transform ChatGPT from a question-and-answer tool into an autonomous work platform capable of executing complex, multi-step tasks across users’ email, calendars, code repositories, and messaging apps.The product is powered by OpenAI’s latest flagship model, GPT-5.6, and is … Read more
