- 1Physicists Create Record-Breaking Quantum 'Schrödinger's Cat' State●Physicists Created a Record-Breaking Schrödinger's Cat With Some of The Weirdest Atoms in Physics
Physicists report creating a record-breaking Schrödinger's cat state, a quantum system placed in a superposition of two very different states at once, using some of the most unusual atoms known in physics. The advance pushes the boundaries of how large and complex quantum superpositions can be, with potential implications for quantum computing and tests of quantum mechanics at larger scales.
- 2Quantum Computer Operates in Space for the First Time●For The First Time, a Quantum Computer Has Operated in Space
Scientists have reportedly run a quantum computer in space for the first time, a milestone for quantum computing and space technology. Operating quantum hardware beyond Earth could pave the way for space-based quantum networks and experiments impossible under ground-based conditions. Details about which system flew, aboard what platform, and the results achieved remain limited so far.

UCLA has been awarded $75 million in grants from the National Science Foundation to advance quantum technology research. The funding will support the university's work in quantum science, an area seen as key to future computing, communications and sensing. The announcement was reported by the Daily Bruin, the university's student newspaper.
- 4Thales, Bull and CEA team up on quantum computing software●#Thales #Bull #CEA #logiciel #ordinateurs #quantiques #armée #française #Thales #Bull #CEA #software #computers #quantum
Thales, Bull and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) are joining forces to develop software for quantum computers, in a project linked to the French armed forces. The collaboration ties major French industry and research players together around quantum technology with defence applications, and is drawing attention in French tech circles.
- 5Quantum Simulator Captures Process That Breaks Quark Strings▼Quantum simulator captures a strange process that can break quark strings
Researchers have used a quantum simulator to observe a strange process capable of breaking quark strings, the gluon-based connections that bind quarks inside particles like protons. Studying string breaking directly has been beyond classical computers, so simulating it quantum mechanically marks a step forward in understanding how quarks separate and how confinement works in quantum chromodynamics.
- 6Thales, Bull and CEA develop quantum software for French military●# Thales # Bull # CEA # logiciel # ordinateurs # quantiques # armée # française # Thales # Bull # CEA # software # compu
Thales, Bull and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) are working on software for quantum computers intended for the French armed forces, according to a report by Clubic. The collaboration points to growing defence interest in quantum computing in France, with the three organisations combining industrial and research expertise on the technology.

Technology leaders are being urged to begin migrating corporate systems to post-quantum cryptography, encryption methods designed to withstand attacks from future quantum computers. The argument is that quantum advances could eventually break today's standard encryption, and that organisations which delay the transition risk exposing sensitive data. CIOs are advised to inventory cryptographic assets and plan upgrades now.

Researchers are working on three proposed solutions to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers, which could theoretically break the cryptography securing wallets and transactions. The debate covers protocol upgrades and quantum-resistant signatures, with the crypto community discussing how urgently Bitcoin's codebase needs to adapt before quantum computing advances pose a real threat.
- 9Why neutral atoms lead the qubit race for now●Sebastian Hassinger (The New Quantum Era): why neutral atoms lead the qubit race for now
Sebastian Hassinger, host of The New Quantum Era, argues that neutral-atom platforms are currently ahead in the race to build useful qubits. Writing in The Quantum Insider, he assesses the strengths of neutral-atom quantum computing relative to rival approaches such as superconducting and trapped-ion systems, while framing its lead as potentially temporary as competing technologies mature.
- 10IonQ Places Three Superion 256 Systems With NVIDIA, FIU and SDT●IonQ Lined Up 3 Superion 256 Systems With NVIDIA, FIU, and SDT. Here’s Where the Stock Could Go
Quantum computing company IonQ has lined up three of its Superion 256 systems with NVIDIA, Florida International University and SDT, according to a Yahoo Finance report. The report also looks at where IonQ's stock could head next. Investors are watching the deals as a sign of growing commercial demand for IonQ's quantum technology, though the stock's trajectory remains a matter of speculation.
- 11IonQ Announces Major Quantum Breakthrough, Investors Weigh In●IonQ Just Announced a Major Breakthrough. Should Investors Buy the Stock Now?
Quantum computing company IonQ has announced what it describes as a major technological breakthrough, prompting questions about whether the stock is now a buy. The announcement is drawing attention from investors watching the volatile quantum computing sector, where shares often swing sharply on technical news. Analyst commentary is weighing the significance of the advance against the company's valuation and long commercial timeline.
