Insider Brief Researchers from INSAIT, ETH Zurich, and the University of Oxford developed qblaze, a quantum circuit simulator that efficiently handles large-scale sparse quantum systems on conventional computers. The simulator organizes quantum data as sorted arrays of non-zero values, enabling faster, cache-efficient computation and nearly linear scaling across 180 CPU Read more…
Insider Brief Telstra and Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) have completed a year-long collaboration demonstrating how quantum machine learning can enhance predictive network analytics, marking a step toward quantum-enabled digital infrastructure in Australia. Using SQC’s quantum reservoir system, Watermelon, the team achieved network performance predictions matching Telstra’s deep learning models but Read more…
Insider Brief Saudi Aramco has developed one of the region’s largest quantum computing emulators, Dammam 7Q, as part of its digital transformation strategy to enhance energy exploration and computational research. Built on Aramco’s Dammam 7 supercomputer and powered by NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q platform, the emulator allows researchers to simulate up to Read more…
Guest Post by Kimberly Brook When President Trump announced the £31 billion Tech Prosperity Deal as part of his recent state visit to the UK, all the talk was about AI – understandably, given headline-grabbing figures such as Nvidia’s commitment to invest £2 billion into British AI startups. What wasn’t Read more…
Insider Brief IBM and Vanguard researchers demonstrated a quantum-classical workflow for portfolio construction using 109 qubits on IBM’s Heron processors, showing potential advantages for large-scale financial optimization. The team applied a Conditional Value at Risk-based Variational Quantum Algorithm (CVaR-VQA), combining quantum sampling and classical optimization to balance asset selection under Read more…
Insider Brief: Anders Indset and Dr. Florian Neukart explore how quantum physics, AI, and philosophy converge, framing the universe as an information-bearing system. Neukart introduces the Quantum Memory Matrix, a model suggesting that space-time itself retains information, linking quantum information with gravity to explain phenomena such as dark matter and Read more…
Insider Brief At the Quantum 3.0 Forum during AI Festa, Orientom announced plans to build a complete quantum finance middleware platform by 2030, with applications already piloted at Kookmin Bank. Deputy Director Choo highlighted the limitations of conventional and quantum Monte Carlo methods for pricing complex derivatives and emphasized the Read more…
Guest Post By Mark M.J. Scott President of Northern Pixels Inc. You’ve cracked the impossible. Your deep tech solution is genuinely groundbreaking. But a year into commercialization, you’re watching your runway burn while “interested” prospects disappear into endless technical evaluations that never convert to revenue. You’re not failing because your technology Read more…
