- 1Quantum Computer Operates in Space for the First Time▼For The First Time, a Quantum Computer Has Operated in Space
Scientists have reportedly run a quantum computer in space for the first time, a milestone for quantum computing and space technology. Operating quantum hardware beyond Earth could pave the way for space-based quantum networks and experiments impossible under ground-based conditions. Details about which system flew, aboard what platform, and the results achieved remain limited so far.
- 2UCLA awarded $75 million in NSF grants for quantum technology▼UCLA receives $75 million in NSF grants for quantum technology
UCLA has received $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, a field seen as key to future computing, sensing and communications. The announcement highlights growing federal investment in quantum research at American universities.
- 3Thales, Bull and CEA team up on quantum computers for French army●#Thales #Bull #CEA #logiciel #ordinateurs #quantiques #armée #française #Thales #Bull #CEA #software #computers #quantum
French technology groups Thales and Bull, together with the Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), are reportedly developing quantum computing software intended for the French military. The partnership highlights France's push to build sovereign quantum capabilities with defence applications, and the news is circulating widely among French-speaking technology and science commentators.
- 4Scientists 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.
