- 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.
- 2UCLA 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.
- 3Thales, Bull and CEA team up on quantum computing 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 joining forces to develop software for quantum computers intended for use by the French armed forces. The partnership, reported by Clubic, links major French industrial and research players around quantum technology with defence applications, drawing attention in French tech circles.

Researchers are working on ways to protect Bitcoin from future quantum computers, which could theoretically break the cryptography that secures wallets and transactions. Three main approaches are being explored, including quantum-resistant signature schemes and protocol changes. The debate highlights growing concern in the crypto industry about preparing Bitcoin's code for a post-quantum era before it becomes a real security threat.
- 5Quantum simulator captures process that can break quark strings▼Quantum simulator captures a strange process that can break quark strings
Researchers have used a quantum simulator to observe a process capable of breaking quark strings, the bonds that bind quarks together inside particles. The simulation offers a rare window into string-breaking, a phenomenon in quantum chromodynamics that is otherwise impossible to track directly because quarks cannot be isolated. Physicists say such simulators could help probe questions that classical computers cannot handle.
- 6Trump Administration Pledges $5 Billion To Genesis Mission▼Trump Administration Commits Over $5B To Genesis Mission Targeting Cancer, Chips, And Quantum Computing
The Trump administration has committed more than $5 billion to the Genesis Mission, an initiative aimed at advancing cancer research, semiconductor development, and quantum computing. The funding package ties together healthcare and advanced technology priorities under a single federal program. Reaction so far has focused on the scale of the commitment and its potential to accelerate US leadership in chips and quantum research while supporting cancer-focused science.
- 7Quantum computer simulates matter popping into existence▼Quantum computer simulates matter “popping into existence”
Researchers have used a quantum computer to simulate particles of matter appearing out of the vacuum, reproducing a phenomenon predicted by quantum field theory in which energy can briefly convert into matter-antimatter pairs. The experiment offers a new way to study fundamental physics that is otherwise out of reach of traditional computers, and physicists say such simulations could help probe processes occurring in the early universe.
- 8Scientists Observe a Single Quantum of Sound Vanish●Scientists Just Watched a Single Quantum of Sound Vanish for the First Time
Researchers report the first direct observation of a single phonon—the smallest possible unit of sound—disappearing, according to a new physics study. The feat means measuring sound at its most fundamental quantum level, in a single isolated unit, rather than in waves made of countless phonons. Scientists say the result opens a window onto how quantum behaviour works in mechanical systems, with potential implications for quantum computing and sensing technologies.

Thales, Bull and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) are working on quantum computing software for the French armed forces, according to a report by Clubic. The cooperation combines the industrial and research expertise of the three organisations to advance quantum technologies with potential defence applications. The story is circulating among French-speaking tech and science observers.
- 10DRDO And Startup Develop Cryogenic Refrigerator For Quantum Computers●DRDO And Startup Build 20 MK Refrigerator For Quantum Computers
India's Defence Research and Development Organisation, working with a startup, has built a 20 millikelvin refrigerator, the extreme cooling unit required to operate quantum computers. Such dilution refrigerators bring quantum processors to temperatures near absolute zero and have previously been dominated by a handful of foreign suppliers, making the development a step toward domestic quantum computing capability.
