Insider Brief QuFi Network has launched the QuFi Platform, a post-quantum verification layer designed to validate digital assets and financial transactions without requiring changes to existing settlement networks. The platform uses a hybrid architecture combining ML-DSA-65, SLH-DSA and ML-KEM-1024 for post-quantum signatures and key encapsulation. QuFi has also introduced uBTC as a proof-of-concept on Bitcoin … Read more

Insider Brief RIKEN has adopted QunaSys’s QURI SDK Enterprise for the JHPC-quantum project, enabling users to access quantum computing resources from the Fugaku supercomputer environment. QURI SDK Enterprise supports IBM Quantum System Two and Quantinuum System Model H2, along with Fugaku and the ROQUO GPU supercomputer for quantum-HPC hybrid workflows. The SDK provides quantum-HPC algorithms … Read more

Insider Brief MIT researchers designed a qubit architecture that simulations suggest could speed quantum operations while preserving stored information, potentially supporting more reliable quantum computers. The “arm qubit” separates information storage from interactions with other components, using a specialized coupler to connect the two functions while reducing unwanted interference. The researchers plan to fabricate the … Read more

Insider Brief Forschungszentrum Jülich has inaugurated JION, a trapped-ion quantum computer intended to help researchers and companies test quantum computing alongside conventional supercomputers. Developed with eleQtron through a partnership receiving about 21 million euros in state funding, JION uses microwaves and magnetic fields to control charged ytterbium atoms. Two additional projects will each receive up … Read more

Insider Brief Scientek and Classiq have signed a go-to-market agreement to expand access to Classiq’s hardware-agnostic quantum software platform across Taiwan’s semiconductor, research and academic sectors. Scientek will introduce Classiq’s platform to companies, research institutes, universities and government organizations while supporting training, customer engagement and potential joint R&D programs. The partnership will initially target quantum … Read more

Insider Brief Quantum Foundry Copenhagen plans to open a 5,300-square-meter quantum chip fabrication facility in Copenhagen in 2027 to support commercial-scale manufacturing. The facility will combine nanofabrication, characterization, testing, chip assembly, packaging and ultra-high-vacuum manufacturing capabilities. The Novo Nordisk Foundation has committed more than DKK 2.9 billion (€390 million) to quantum technologies, including a program … Read more

The rumors were true, all of them (and then some): OpenAI today is releasing GPT-6 Astra, a new frontier model that the company says likely marks the onset of artificial generalized intelligence (AGI), its long sought goal of “highly autonomous systems that outperform humans at most economically valuable work.” In a closed a press briefing … Read more

A Chinese state-linked hacking group compromised executive laptops at an agricultural industry conference on Hainan Island this spring — not through phishing or a network breach, but by breaking into hotel rooms and booting the machines from a USB stick while the executives were at dinner. CrowdStrike, which tracks the group as OVERCAST PANDA, disclosed … Read more

Meta’s newest AI model Muse Spark 1.3, unveiled yesterday, is faster and more performant on third-party benchmarks than its predecessor — with a caveat. “Muse Spark 1.3 is rolling out today with frontier performance almost too cheap to meter,” Meta co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote on X, calling it Meta’s “biggest jump” yet in … Read more

Insider Brief Quantinuum and Aramco have signed a non-binding MoU to explore industrial quantum computing applications and potential research collaboration in fault-tolerant quantum computing. The companies plan to identify energy and digital transformation challenges that could be suitable for quantum computing research and benchmark different quantum computing modalities. The agreement also covers technical onboarding and … Read more
