Insider Brief A Berkeley Lab scientist used IBM quantum hardware accessed through ORNL’s Quantum Computer User Program to simulate a simplified version of hadronization, a key particle-physics process that remains difficult for classical computers to model. The project used 104 qubits on IBM’s 156-qubit Heron processor to study string breaking, the process in which gluon … Read more
Insider Brief Microsoft is accelerating its Quantum Safe Program with a goal of moving critical products and services to post-quantum cryptography by 2029. The company said the transition will require organizations to identify and update cryptography across networks, stored data, identity systems, certificates, software signing and hardware. Microsoft said organizations should begin now by building … Read more
Most enterprise AI deployments so far have focused on coding assistants and customer service bots. Morgan Stanley has deployed agents in one of banking’s most accuracy-critical, deadline-driven workflows instead — profit and loss (P&L) reconciliation — and cut the work in half. The counterintuitive part: it got there by making the system less autonomous, not … Read more
Anthropic today released Claude Sonnet 5, a new AI model that the company says delivers near-flagship performance at mid-tier prices — a move designed to give cost-conscious enterprise developers access to powerful agentic capabilities just as the San Francisco-based AI lab barrels toward an initial public offering that will test whether the private market’s staggering … Read more
For most enterprises, a 90-second training video or a product explainer has never been an easy ask. It means a well planned brief, an internal film crew or an outside vendor, a shoot, an edit, and a round of revisions. Change one line of on-screen text due to a legal review and the whole chain … Read more
Google is upgrading its AI image generation capabilities today with the debut of Nano Banana 2 (NB2) Lite, an optimized model built for rapid execution and tight infrastructure budgets. Technically designated as Gemini 3.1 Flash-Lite Image on Google’s application programming interface (API), NB2 Lite is positioned as the fastest and most cost-effective option within Google’s … Read more
Insider Brief StarkWare has published a roadmap outlining how Starknet plans to transition to post-quantum security by replacing remaining elliptic-curve cryptography with quantum-resistant alternatives. The roadmap proposes a three-phase migration covering new transactions, existing smart contracts, and external dependencies such as Ethereum bridge infrastructure. StarkWare argues that quantum-safe cryptographic tools are already available and that … Read more
Insider Brief Three coordinated academies in Quantum, Generative AI and Virtual Worlds mark one of Europe’s most ambitious digital skills initiatives to date, with €19.8 million dedicated to quantum talent alone. The European Quantum Academy launches with 70 partner institutions, six regional hubs, and concrete targets to train thousands of professionals across the continent. Five … Read more
Insider Brief Copernic Space and Intrana announced a strategic partnership to build a quantum-resistant commercial operating layer for tokenized space assets and future space-commerce transactions. The partnership will combine Copernic Space’s real-world space asset tokenization framework with Intrana’s post-quantum blockchain architecture based on NIST-standardized post-quantum cryptography. The collaboration will focus on quantum-resistant tokenization, defense-grade smart … Read more
Insider Brief QuiX Quantum released Dedalo, a photonic quantum computing architecture designed to support universal, fault-tolerant systems based on logical qubits that can operate alongside classical supercomputing infrastructure. The architecture emphasizes energy efficiency, manufacturability, resource efficiency, error correction, modular scalability and hybrid data-center deployability as requirements for practical quantum systems. QuiX says Dedalo focuses on … Read more
