Presented by SAPHR tracks employees and skills. Finance owns headcount targets and cost. Procurement manages contractors and services spend. Together, they leave executives unable to answer basic questions about how workforce decisions actually translate into business outcomes.Fragmented planning creates workforce blind spotsEach function has its own systems, its own planning cadence, and its own assumptions … Read more

Insider Brief Arqit Quantum, Es’hailSat and AIEE demonstrated quantum-safe encryption across operational satellite communications infrastructure in Qatar. The demonstration integrated Arqit’s encryption technology into Es’hailSat’s live satellite environment at its 25.5/26° East hotspot and Tier-4 certified Teleport facility in Doha. The companies said the test showed quantum-safe protection could be added to existing satellite-connected networks … Read more

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

The Quantum Insider today announced the rollout of TQI 2.0, a major update to its data intelligence platform that transforms the service from a specialized quantum database into a comprehensive intelligence workspace designed to support strategic decision-making across the global quantum technology ecosystem. The new platform introduces expanded financial intelligence, AI-powered search, advanced patent analysis, … Read more

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

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

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

Insider Brief Rep. Nick Langworthy introduced the American Quantum Competitiveness Act to strengthen U.S. quantum commercialization, manufacturing and domestic supply chains. The bill would designate the Commerce Department as the federal lead for commercial quantum technology and require a national competitiveness strategy. The legislation emphasizes reducing dependence on foreign adversaries and supporting advanced manufacturing along … Read more

Insider Brief The MIT Quantum Initiative has launched a postdoctoral fellowship program to support interdisciplinary quantum research and develop early-career scientific leaders. The Moore Foundation-backed program will cover fields including quantum computing, sensing, materials, simulation and networks, as well as links with AI, biology and Earth science. The inaugural fellows will begin in the 2026 … Read more

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
