Insider Brief The Israel Innovation Authority launched a call for proposals to establish a national quantum computing R&D infrastructure providing industry and academia access to multiple quantum computing platforms. The planned infrastructure will integrate at least three quantum processing technologies and support benchmarking, application development, algorithm research, and technology evaluation. The initiative aims to accelerate … Read more

Insider Brief University of Arizona researchers demonstrated that graphene nanoribbons can survive gamma radiation while producing measurable electrical changes, suggesting they could serve as radiation sensors for fusion reactors and space systems. The proof-of-concept study found that gamma radiation altered the nanoribbons’ electrical behavior without damaging their atomic structure, potentially enabling real-time monitoring of radiation … Read more

Insider Brief The U.S. Department of Energy announced that ORNL and PNNL have developed domestic technologies to produce ultra-high-purity silicon and germanium precursor materials intended to improve quantum device performance and strengthen the U.S. isotope supply chain. The laboratories reduced concentrations of the noise-inducing isotopes Si-29 and Ge-73 to below 1 part per million in … Read more

Insider Brief IQM and Deutsche Bahn demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical approach that used real railway scheduling data to solve a large-scale optimization problem on current quantum hardware, providing a framework that could be applied across industries. The project used a real Deutsche Bahn dataset covering 190 trips across five German cities and about 98,500 possible … Read more

The enterprise technology ecosystem is caught in a costly cycle. Over the past two years, millions of dollars have been funneled into generative AI pilots, yet many of these initiatives stall out before ever reaching a live production environment.When a project fails, the immediate instinct of technical leadership is often to blame the model: The … Read more

Guest Post by Sinan Utku, Bilkent University Law School (Ankara); J.D. (Columbia University Law School) and Ph.D. (Yale University, physics) The field of quantum computing is poised to advance dramatically in the near future.  If expected advances actually occur, many problems that classical computing technologies cannot feasibly solve may become tractable.  Given that the field … Read more

Capital One on Thursday released VulnHunter, an open-source, agentic AI security tool that scans source code for exploitable vulnerabilities, maps out how an attacker would reach them, and proposes targeted fixes — all before a single line ships to production. The tool, built internally and now available on GitHub under an Apache 2.0 license, is … Read more
