Yuval Boger interviews Matt Kinsella, CEO of Infleqtion. They discuss Infleqtion’s neutral-atom strategy, including its combination of quantum computing, sensing, and timing products, and why Matt believes that diversified approach strengthens both the business and the technology stack. Matt also shares his timeline for commercially useful quantum computing, his reaction to Google entering neutral atoms, … Read more

As enterprise codebases grow, AI agents tasked with analyzing them are buckling under the weight of long-horizon tasks that require multiple interactions and tool calls. Dividing the work among a team of agents seems like the obvious fix, but it introduces a fatal flaw: most multi-agent systems are not designed for agents to coordinate among … Read more

For developers, the operating assumption has been one engineer, one agent — the model Claude Code and similar tools. At VB Transform 2026, James Zou, associate professor of biomedical data science at Stanford University, argued that assumption is about to break: the next frontier isn’t a single, more capable agent, it’s tens of thousands of … Read more

Insider Brief TuringQ has entered China’s pre-IPO guidance process, becoming the latest quantum computing company seeking a public listing as the country’s quantum sector pushes toward commercialization. The Shanghai-based company develops photonic quantum chips and computers, a technology that aims to improve scalability by using light-based processors compatible with existing optical communications infrastructure. TuringQ’s IPO … Read more

Insider Brief The article examines post-quantum cryptography migration timelines from governments, technology companies, financial institutions, infrastructure operators, and blockchain communities. Major organizations have set different transition targets, with regulatory deadlines extending to 2035 while several technology companies are targeting earlier migration milestones around 2029. The analysis finds that organizations broadly agree on starting post-quantum migration … Read more

Insider Brief QC Ware demonstrated a hybrid quantum-classical computational chemistry workflow combining its Promethium platform with IBM Quantum’s 156-qubit Heron superconducting quantum processor. The demonstration calculated electrostatic interaction energy for the nitric oxide reductase enzyme system using GPU-accelerated molecular modeling and quantum measurements. QC Ware said the work shows how classical and quantum computing methods … Read more

Insider Brief Rigetti Computing reported second-quarter 2026 revenue of $5.1 million, a $28.1 million operating loss, and $541.3 million in cash, cash equivalents, and available-for-sale investments. The company highlighted progress on hybrid quantum-classical computing collaborations, on-premises system deployments, and its superconducting quantum computing technology roadmap. Rigetti continues to target larger-scale quantum systems while advancing partnerships … Read more

Insider Brief Researchers demonstrated for the first time that concentrated sunlight can generate quantum-entangled photon pairs with high fidelity, challenging the long-held assumption that lasers are required for this process. By concentrating sunlight collected over 1.4 square meters into a nonlinear crystal, the team produced polarization-entangled photons with nearly 94% fidelity and correlations that violated … Read more

A VB Pulse survey this June found that 57% of enterprises had traced a confidently wrong agent answer back to missing or inconsistent context — the latest sign of how central context has become to whether AI agents can be trusted to act on their own.Most of the fixes so far have solved a narrower … Read more

Insider Brief Canada launched the Quantum Defence Innovation Secure Hub (Quantum DISH) in Calgary to support the development and transition of quantum technologies for defence applications. A University of Calgary-led consortium will receive $20.3 million over two years to establish and operate the secure collaboration hub under the BOREALIS initiative. The Quantum DISH will bring … Read more
