Insider Brief The U.S. Department of Energy launched the Quantum Genesis initiative to develop and deploy a fault-tolerant, scientifically relevant quantum computing capability for research and development by 2028. The effort supports President Trump’s quantum executive order and includes the QC-ADDS effort to advance quantum computers powerful enough for scientific research. Quantum Genesis includes a … Read more

Presented by F5When enterprises move AI workloads from pilot to production, data delivery often becomes the factor that determines whether those systems can scale reliably. Point-to-point architectures connecting storage directly to compute hold up under demonstration conditions, but they often break down under sustained, concurrent production traffic. The result is stalled inference pipelines, delayed RAG … Read more

Insider Brief Qubic has raised an oversubscribed $2.5 million USD ($3.5 million CAD) seed funding round to accelerate commercialization of its cryogenic amplifier technology and quantum sensing platform. The company develops low-noise cryogenic amplifiers designed to reduce heat dissipation in quantum computing systems, addressing a key challenge in scaling quantum hardware. Funding will support amplifier … Read more

Insider Brief IQM Quantum Computers reported a quantum error-correction advance using directional tile codes, a new family of codes designed to support practical fault-tolerant quantum computing on superconducting hardware. The research found that directional tile codes can reduce the per-logical per-round error rate by up to 1,000 times compared with the surface code at a … Read more

Insider Brief Q.ANT demonstrated production-relevant AI workloads on its second-generation photonic Native Processing Unit, including a diffusion model for image-to-image synthesis and an xLSTM-based time series prediction model. The company said the demonstrations show its photonic architecture can support generative AI and sequential forecasting workloads while targeting 30 times the energy efficiency of classical processors … Read more

Insider Brief Symmatrics launched its Quantum Protected Network (QPN), a VPN platform that uses device authentication and one-time-use symmetric keys instead of traditional credential-based access methods. The QPN is designed to reduce risks associated with stolen credentials, long-lived session keys, predictable encryption handshakes, and future quantum-enabled decryption threats. The platform supports secure TCP and UDP … Read more

Anthropic on Tuesday launched Claude Tag, a new product that embeds its most advanced AI model directly inside Slack as a persistent, shared teammate that anyone on a team can delegate work to by simply typing @Claude.The product, available today in beta for Claude Enterprise and Team customers, replaces Anthropic’s existing Claude in Slack app … Read more

Insider Brief RIKEN Center for Computational Science has launched the ROQUO supercomputer to support the integration of quantum computing and high-performance computing through Japan’s Quantum-HPC Hybrid Platform. Developed under the JHPC-quantum project, ROQUO achieved 19.80 petaflops in the High Performance LINPACK benchmark during operational testing. The system is installed in Kobe and is intended to … Read more
