- 1Quantum 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.

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.
- 3Quantum 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.

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.

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.
