Insider Brief Pasqal completed its business combination with Bleichroeder Acquisition Corp. II and is expected to begin trading on Nasdaq under the ticker “PSQL” on Aug. 28. The transaction provided Pasqal with approximately $360 million in cash to expand QPU manufacturing, advance its technology and scale commercial operations. Pasqal has seven neutral-atom quantum processing units … Read more
Insider Brief Florida Atlantic University researchers developed a quantum machine learning framework that achieved 90.26% accuracy in predicting heart disease using clinical data from 918 patients. The best-performing model, a Quantum Support Vector Machine using Angle Encoding, recorded 92.16% sensitivity, 83.42% specificity and an AUC of 0.93. The study evaluated five quantum feature mapping techniques … Read more
Presented by Gravitee Agent complexity is the insidious shadow lurking inside enterprises right now that needs a light shone on it.That’s because enterprises don’t deploy a single agent and watch it run, they deploy fleets, each one calling APIs, calling other agents, reaching into applications that were never built with a machine decision-maker in mind. … Read more
Insider Brief Bridgewater State University has received approximately $380,000 from MassTech to expand undergraduate education and research in quantum technologies. The funding will support the acquisition of a two-qubit optical quantum computer, an NV-defect diamond quantum sensor and two-qubit system, and QKD and QRNG equipment. The new systems will give students hands-on experience in quantum … Read more
Insider Brief NASA has awarded Infleqtion a $20 million follow-on contract to advance development and testing of the Quantum Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder (QGGPf). The award brings NASA’s total investment in QGGPf to $40 million and supports development of the mission’s quantum gravity sensor hardware. Infleqtion will develop the sensor’s atomic physics package and test an … Read more
Presented by EDB As enterprises give AI agents more autonomy — the ability to plan, decide, and act across systems without a human approving each step — a hard question moves to the center of every architecture review: When an agent tries to complete an action that it was never authorized to do, what actually … Read more
Insider Brief Q-CTRL demonstrated GPS-free maritime navigation using a quantum gravimeter, maintaining positioning accuracy within one nautical mile during trials in Australia’s Coral Sea. The Ironstone Opal system maps small variations in Earth’s gravity and uses AI-powered software to operate under heavy-sea conditions without specialized stabilization or frequent recalibration. Q-CTRL said the passive navigation technology … Read more
Insider Brief A quantum-resistant Bitcoin transaction has been completed on the Bitcoin mainnet using a method developed by StarkWare researcher Avihu Levy. The method uses signature grinding to limit exposure of public-key material while transactions wait in Bitcoin’s mempool, adding a quantum-resistant layer without changing Bitcoin’s existing cryptography. The transaction required direct submission to MARA’s … Read more
Insider Brief Researchers demonstrated a resource-efficient hybrid quantum-classical method for molecular docking on an IBM quantum processor. The method represented 18- and 14-variable docking problems using six and five qubits, respectively. The quantum hardware identified the same molecular contacts as classical calculations, although the small-scale tests didn’t demonstrate quantum advantage. A team of Singapore-based researchers … Read more
