Insider Brief MOTH has launched Quantum Brush, an open-source digital painting tool that uses quantum algorithms to transform brushstrokes into visual styles shaped by principles like superposition, entanglement, and quantum measurement. The tool debuts with four brushes—Aquarela, Heisenbrush, Smudge, and Collage—each embodying a different quantum behavior, tested on real quantum Read more…
Insider Brief Qubic secured a $925,000 CAD grant from Canada’s Innovation, Science and Economic Development department and the FABrIC program to fund a $2.5 million project developing cryogenic amplifiers from quantum materials. The amplifiers aim to reduce heat dissipation by 10,000x, addressing one of the biggest barriers to scaling quantum Read more…
Insider Brief The U.S. National Science Foundation has awarded $16 million to four teams to design the first phase of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory, aimed at broadening nationwide access to quantum technology. The selected projects include designs for networked quantum computers, a quantum digital twin, and platforms using trapped Read more…
Insider Brief: The Quantum World Tour launches its first episode on September 9, 2025, spotlighting Malta’s growing role in the global quantum ecosystem. Malta demonstrates agility and ambition by pairing government leadership, international partnerships, and EU-backed projects like PRISM to build a nationwide quantum communication testbed. The Tour, organized by Read more…
Insider Brief Quantum Research Sciences (QRS), an Indiana-based software company and Purdue Innovates client, has secured a U.S. Air Force contract to develop ACID-R, an artificial intelligence-driven platform that streamlines how the service identifies and evaluates commercial technology proposals. The ACID-R system enables vendors to upload capability statements, then uses Read more…
Insider Brief Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania demonstrated the first integration of quantum networking with commercial fiber-optic infrastructure, transmitting quantum signals using standard Internet Protocol (IP). The team’s silicon-based “Q-chip” coordinated quantum and classical data, achieving over 97% transmission fidelity while routing signals on Verizon’s live network. This approach Read more…
Insider Brief Glasgow-based M Squared Lasers, once a leading UK photonics and quantum technology firm, has ceased trading and entered administration after nearly 20 years in business. In the UK, “administration” is similar to U.S. bankruptcy protection, with court-appointed administrators taking control of companies that can’t pay their debts. M Read more…
Insider Brief Kothar Computing has launched FORGE, a scientific computing platform designed to solve complex quantum many-body problems with high performance and ease of use. The browser-based environment allows quantum researchers to model, simulate, collaborate, and publish in fields such as condensed matter physics, chemistry, and material science in minutes Read more…
Insider Brief Researchers at the University of Basel have developed a spin qubit that is simultaneously faster and more robust, a step that could support future quantum computer development. Using germanium nanowires coated with silicon, the team applied a controlled mix of energy levels to exploit spin-orbit coupling, achieving a Read more…
