The Sun Pharma-Organon deal, UAE’s divorce from OPEC, and more… In this week’s wrapup, we talk about Cisco’s breakthrough that might change quantum computing forever, the paradox of India’s slipping GDP ranking, the global helium shortage, the UAE’s exit from OPEC, and what happens when India runs out of urea. Also, in this week’s Markets edition, we discuss India’s largest overseas pharmaceutical deal, as Sun Pharma announced its acquisition of Organon & Co., a US-based company focused on women’s health. We don’t just break down the deal, but also what it means for Sun Pharma and its numbers. You can read the full story here. With that out of the way, let’s look back at what we wrote this week. The missing piece in quantum computing Quantum computers are powerful. But they have one embarrassing problem. They still can't talk to each other. Each machine works alone. There’s no sharing, teamwork or network. And that’s the gap Cisco is trying to close with its new “universal quantum switch”. The tricky part? Quantum information is fragile. You can't copy it or resend it. And different quantum systems encode information in completely different ways, making communication incredibly difficult. Cisco’s switch acts as a translator, converting signals between systems without destroying the information in the process. It works at room temperature and runs on existing fibre optic cables. No exotic cooling, no new infrastructure. The bigger idea: instead of building one impossibly large quantum machine, you could network many smaller ones together. Same outcome, completely different approach. In Monday’s story, we break down why this missing piece matters so much today. India’s economy is growing. So why is its GDP rank slipping? The IMF recently said that India slipped from the fourth-largest to the sixth-largest economy in the world. Naturally, that triggered panic
