QC Ware and IonQ Demonstrate Hybrid Quantum Chemistry Workflow for Drug Discovery

Insider Brief QC Ware and IonQ demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical chemistry workflow that calculated electrostatic interaction energy for a cytochrome P450nor model within 0.5 kcal/mol of classical benchmarks. The workflow combined GPU-accelerated preprocessing through QC Ware’s Promethium platform with quantum measurements on IonQ’s Forte trapped-ion system through Amazon Braket. The demonstration used an eight-qubit active-space … Read more

Guest Post: The Quantum Industry is Both Overhyped And Underestimated

Guest Post: The Quantum Industry is Both Overhyped And Underestimated

Guest Post By Ian Foley The problem with quantum computing is not that the industry is moving too slowly. It is that different parts of it are moving at very different speeds. The science is advancing, capital has arrived early, and commercial adoption is still searching for its breakthrough moment. That mismatch explains both the … Read more

Quantum-Classical Software Tests New Approach to Protein Folding

Quantum-Classical Software Tests New Approach to Protein Folding

Insider Brief Researchers developed QuPepFold, a hybrid quantum-classical software package for exploring the low-energy structures of short peptides. The system performed well on six- and seven-residue peptides, but its success rate fell sharply as sequences approached 10 residues. The study did not demonstrate a quantum advantage, and the package remains limited by simplified protein models, … Read more

Quantum-Tunnelling Field-Effect Transistor Designed to Overcome Integrated-Circuit Chip Development Barriers

Quantum-Tunnelling Field-Effect Transistor Designed to Overcome Integrated-Circuit Chip Development Barriers

Insider Brief A PolyU-led team developed a 2D tunnelling transistor that could support faster, more energy-efficient computing and AI chips. The Bi/InSe device operated below the conventional 60-millivolt switching limit across six orders of magnitude while requiring a gate-voltage range of just 160 millivolts. The transistor combined high output current with a strong ON/OFF ratio … Read more

OpenClaw 2.0 is here, ushering in the era of ‘multiplayer’ AI coding: What it means for enterprises

OpenClaw 2.0 is here, ushering in the era of ‘multiplayer’ AI coding: What it means for enterprises

The viral fervor we saw earlier this year around OpenClaw, the open source AI harness that turns powerful language models into autonomous workers the user can message via their favorite channels (Telegram, iMessage, WhatsApp, Discord etc), has cooled off substantially from its peak in March 2026.But over the weekend, OpenClaw’s creator Peter Steinberger and current … Read more

Diraq to Deploy a Quantum Computer Inside an Equinix Data Center

Diraq to Deploy a Quantum Computer Inside an Equinix Data Center

Insider Brief Diraq and Equinix plan to install the first silicon spin quantum computer in a shared commercial data center in Sydney in October 2026. The eight-qubit system will fit alongside conventional servers, consume less than 20 kilowatts and support upgrades through chip replacement without changes to the surrounding infrastructure. The companies will test the … Read more
