Presented by ZetaEvery forward-deployed engineering (FDE) pitch sounds identical for the first ten minutes: an engineer embedded on-site, a workflow encoded within weeks, a demo that finally works on the customer’s real data. What differs is what happens in the following months, and most vendors will not tell you until you ask directly.FDE has become … Read more
Insider Brief PsiQuantum and Brookhaven National Laboratory have partnered to use PsiQuantum’s Construct software platform for research into fault-tolerant quantum algorithms and scientific applications. Brookhaven researchers will use Construct to develop and study algorithms intended for the first generation of fault-tolerant quantum computers. The collaboration supports the DOE’s Quantum Genesis initiative, which aims to develop … Read more
Insider Brief Pasqal and True Nexus have used Pasqal’s neutral-atom quantum technology to encode selected protein structures linked to the molecular mechanisms behind protein gelation. The collaboration combines AI-driven protein analysis with quantum computing to study the relationship between protein structure and functionality. The companies said the work could support future applications in food and … Read more
Insider Brief QuSecure demonstrated its QuProtect R3 post-quantum cryptography platform on U.S. Army tactical mission systems during Project Convergence Capstone 6 (PCC6). The company said QuProtect R3 achieved Technical Readiness Level 7 after operating in live-force tactical conditions at the Army exercise. The demonstration included quantum-resistant communications, cryptographic agility, and cryptographic discovery and inventory capabilities … Read more

Insider Brief Cyprus and Greece have established their first quantum-secure satellite data connection using Sparkle’s Quantum Safe Interconnect (QSI) system and Hellas Sat’s satellite infrastructure. The connection links Sparkle’s data centre in Athens with Hellas Sat infrastructure in Cyprus, with data travelling about 72,000 kilometres through the satellite system. The companies said the trial demonstrates … Read more
Insider Brief Ramboll has completed the specialized Copenhagen facilities that will house MAGNE, enabling QuNorth to begin installing the Nordic quantum computer. EIFO and the Novo Nordisk Foundation have invested EUR 80 million in the initiative, which is being delivered with Microsoft and Atom Computing. MAGNE is expected to become fully operational in 2027 and … Read more
Insider Brief Saudi Arabia’s KACST has signed a research partnership with Imperial College London to advance quantum brain research and connect quantum science with neuroscience, engineering and biochemistry. The collaboration will study quantum properties associated with neuronal cell membranes and the role of fatty acids in neural signaling. The partnership also covers measurement technologies combining … Read more
Insider Brief Quantum Rings data show users are running larger quantum circuits while price, speed and hardware performance increasingly shape where workloads are executed. The 95th-percentile circuit grew from 20 to 96 qubits, although the median remained at six qubits and most recognized circuits focused on testing hardware. Rigetti’s Cepheus-1-108Q processed 57% of jobs as … Read more
Guest Post By Ryan Kirkley, Founder & CEO, Global Settlement Holdings. A temporal asymmetry lies at the heart of financial infrastructure. Settlement systems and payment rails are built to run for thirty to fifty years, and most of what moves the dollar today was last built forty years ago. Fedwire settled an average of $4.6 … Read more
