Quantum Computing

Microsoft called it a breakthrough. A landmark replication study calls it a dead end. Both cited the same data.

Dennis Delali Kwesi Wayo ran four decoders through identical tests. Three collapsed under bootstrap analysis. One held.

"We can recover quantum states regardless of noise magnitude" — a claim that sounds impossible until you read the math.

Cosmologists have spent decades tweaking models to match reality. A new paper argues we've been doing it backwards — and the universe itself may prove it within 10 years.

Here's the paradox: the most rigorous tool yet for verifying quantum computers doesn't work on the quantum computers that exist today.

A 7x jump in quantum state reconstruction came not from better qubits, but from a protocol that treats noise as data, not damage.

"The quantum industry has been building qubits the wrong way for 20 years." That's not a dig. That's a $50M startup thesis.

SBQuantum, a Canadian quantum sensing startup, is scheduled to launch a diamond-based quantum magnetometer into low-Earth orbit on March 30, 2026 — marking one of the first times a nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center magnetometer will operate from space rather than a laboratory bench.

Silicon spin qubits have long been the promising-but-perpetually-behind platform in quantum computing: excellent coherence, CMOS-compatible fabrication, but lacking the fault-tolerant logical operations that superconducting circuits and trapped ions already demonstrated years ago.

Forty years ago, Klaus von Klitzing ran current through a slab of silicon under a strong magnetic field and watched the resistance snap to values that nothing in the lab could shift — only the electron charge and Planck's constant.

Graphene just became easier to study.
