- 1Sitharaman says AI, chips and quantum key to India's growth▼AI, chips & quantum tech key to India’s next growth phase: Nirmala Sitharaman
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said artificial intelligence, semiconductor manufacturing and quantum technology will be central to India's next phase of economic growth. Her remarks underline the government's push to position India as a hub for advanced technologies and chip production, building on recent incentive schemes aimed at attracting semiconductor investment and expanding the country's digital and deep-tech sectors.
- 2Quantum Computer Operates in Space for the First Time●For The First Time, a Quantum Computer Has Operated in Space
Researchers have run a quantum computer in space for the first time, marking a milestone in quantum technology beyond Earth. The demonstration suggests quantum computing and communication systems could one day operate aboard satellites, where conditions differ sharply from ground-based laboratories. Scientists say the achievement could pave the way for space-based quantum networks and new experiments impossible on Earth, though details of the mission and hardware remain limited.

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.
- 5Researchers Guide Quantum Vortices With Atomic Rails●Researchers At Nanoarchitectonics Center Guide Quantum Vortices With Atomic Rails
Researchers at the International Center for Nanoarchitectonics report guiding quantum vortices using engineered atomic-scale rails. The technique directs superfluid vortex motion along precisely built nanostructures, a step that could improve control of quantum matter for future sensing and quantum technologies. Details of the experiment and its broader applications remain limited, and the work is drawing attention within the physics research community.

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.
- 7Why 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.
