One Ukrainian startup has rebuilt the humble walkie-talkie to weather the waves of modern electronic war with Russia. With thousands of Ukrainian soldiers already using their handheld comms devices, NATO is tuning in.

According to Heather Vescent, cybersecurity futurist at The Purple Tornado, a quantum computer that can crack widely used encryption could arrive between five and 20 years from now. “There could be a breakthrough. There could be an external event that causes the U.S. or China to double down or delay it,” said Vescent.

Quantum computing promises to revolutionize industries from AI to drug discovery, but significant engineering challenges remain before we see practical applications.

After several dashed predictions, quantum computing is accelerating rapidly with actual use cases and scientific breakthroughs expected within years, not decades.

Russia s Rosatom State Atomic Energy Corporation has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening ties with Vietnam, especially in quantum technology.

American quantum computing startup PsiQuantum announced yesterday that it has cracked a significant puzzle on the road to making the technology useful: manufacturing quantum chips in useful quantities.

Founded in 2020, Dutch startup QuantWare is one of these, which claims that the hardware it manufactures already powers quantum computers for customers in 20 countries. Its core offering, VIO, focuses on scaling bottlenecks in quantum processing units (QPUs).

Quantum computing could reduce the time to train artificial intelligence (AI) from weeks to merely hours, or even shorter, a senior Chinese quantum computing scientist told the Global Times in an exclusive interview on the sideline of China's annual Two Sessions.

Amazon enters the quantum race with Ocelot, aiming to rival Google and Microsoft. The prototype chip could advance error correction and bring practical quantum computing closer.

Despite breakthroughs from Amazon and Microsoft, the industry is still a long way from building practical machines

AWS has launchd Ocelot, its first quantum computing chip, bringing it into line with its big cloud rivals Microsoft and Google.
