- 1Quantum Computer Operates in Space for the First Time●For The First Time, a Quantum Computer Has Operated in Space
A quantum computer has been operated in space for the first time, according to a report by ScienceAlert. The milestone suggests quantum computing technology can function in the harsh conditions of orbit, opening the door to space-based quantum research and potentially quantum communication networks between satellites. Details about the hardware involved and the mission responsible have not yet been widely reported.
- 2Thales, Bull and CEA join forces on quantum software for French military●#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 to work together on software for quantum computers, in a partnership linked to the French armed forces. The announcement highlights France's push to build sovereign quantum computing capabilities for defence applications, drawing attention from technology and science commentators.

Researchers are working on three proposed fixes to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers, which could theoretically break the cryptography securing bitcoin wallets. The debate centres on how to migrate coins to quantum-resistant addresses and what to do about vulnerable old holdings. The topic is drawing attention as quantum computing advances accelerate concerns across the crypto industry.
- 4UCLA lands $75 million in NSF quantum technology grants▼UCLA receives $75 million in NSF grants for quantum technology
UCLA has been awarded $75 million in grants from the US National Science Foundation to advance quantum technology research. The funding will support work in quantum computing, sensing and related fields at the university. The announcement highlights the growing federal investment in quantum science and positions UCLA among the leading US institutions in the field.
- 5Quantum simulator captures process that breaks quark strings▼Quantum simulator captures a strange process that can break quark strings
Researchers report that a quantum simulator has captured a strange process capable of breaking quark strings, the bonds that hold quarks together inside particles. The experiment offers a way to observe string-breaking, a phenomenon in quantum chromodynamics that is otherwise out of reach for classical computers and conventional particle accelerators. Physicists say such simulations could deepen understanding of how matter behaves under extreme conditions.
