<b>Quantum</b> Qubits Securely Transmit Messages As Binary Code For NASA
National Aeronautics and Space Administration is preparing students in grades 3-6 for the complexities of secure communication by teaching the fundamentals of quantum data transmission. The agency is using a visually intuitive method, representing image data as binary code where “0” represents a white pixel and “1” represents a black pixel, to illustrate how information can be encoded and sent. In a hands-on activity, NASA has completed the first three lines of binary code for students, scaffolding the learning process as they convert images into this digital format. This exercise aims to familiarize a young audience with the principles behind quantum qubits, which NASA intends to utilize for safely sending and receiving space data. NASA’s Use of Quantum Qubits for Data Transmission The agency’s initiative focuses on practical exercises designed to introduce fundamental concepts to a new generation of scientists and engineers. Specifically, NASA has created a “Binary Code Hacking Activity” geared toward grades 3-6, familiarizing students with how images can be translated into the binary language understood by computers and, potentially, quantum systems. This educational component reveals a strategy to build early awareness of quantum communications, leveraging a simplified visual approach that underscores the agency’s commitment to making a difficult subject accessible to young learners. Beyond educational tools, NASA’s exploration of quantum qubits for data transmission addresses a critical need for enhanced security in space communications. While the specifics of NASA’s hardware and protocols remain largely undisclosed, the focus on binary code conversion suggests a foundational step toward integrating quantum principles into existing data transmission infrastructure, allowing for a future where secure communication is a fundamental capability. Binary Code Conversion with Pixel Representation NASA’s current effort to educate students in grades 3-6 about quantum communications reflects a broadening effort to establish foundational understanding of these technologies at increasingly young
NEMS Device Exhibits <b>Quantum</b> Behavior Through Material Properties Alone
Physicists at Caltech and Stanford University have engineered nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) capable of exhibiting quantum behavior through the intrinsic properties of their materials, a feat previously requiring an external quantum device like a superconducting qubit. This advancement simplifies the design of compact quantum sensors and qubits, opening new avenues for quantum computing and biophysics. The team achieved this by creating nonlinearity within the NEMS device; evenly spaced energy levels in linear systems hinder the ability to determine a system’s state. “You don’t want linear systems for quantum applications, because then you can’t tell what state the system is in—all the step changes that the system can make look the same,” says Mert Yuksel (PhD ‘26), a Caltech postdoctoral scholar and co-lead author of the new study. The findings, reported in Nature Physics, represent a step toward sensors that use single phonons, the quantum version of sound waves, to detect extremely small changes in materials. NEMS Devices Enable Intrinsic Single-Phonon Quantum Behavior The ability to observe quantum behavior in the vibrations of materials, known as phonons, has significantly advanced with the development of nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS) capable of exhibiting these properties intrinsically. This simplification promises to accelerate progress in compact quantum sensors and computing architectures. This nonlinearity is achieved by leveraging naturally occurring two-level systems, atomic-scale defects within the materials comprising the NEMS device. These defects, previously considered detrimental to quantum systems, are now harnessed to induce the desired nonlinear effects. By carefully tuning the device’s temperature and applying electromagnetic forces, the researchers resonated the NEMS with these defects, creating the conditions for single-phonon sensitivity. “It’s like a radio station, and you can tune it around to listen to the different defects,” Yuksel adds, illustrating the precision of the technique.

UK <b>Quantum</b> Adjacent Companies: Complete 2026 Guide
The uk quantum adjacent companies build the technology that makes quantum computing possible without building the quantum computers themselves, from the cryogenics that cool the chips to the lasers, photonic components, sensors and security hardware around them. Britain is unusually strong in this enabling layer, with world-leading suppliers like Oxford Instruments and a deep bench of quantum-sensing and quantum-security startups. This guide profiles the UK quantum adjacent companies that power the wider quantum supply chain, and explains how they connect to the processor makers in our main computing guide. 1. The supply chain matters as much as the computers. Quantum machines cannot run without cryogenics, lasers, photonic chips and control electronics, and Britain leads in several of these enabling categories. 2. Oxford Instruments is the backbone. Its dilution refrigerators and fabrication tools sit in quantum laboratories worldwide, making it the most established of the enabling suppliers. 3. Quantum sensing is a British strength. Firms like Cerca Magnetics, QLM, Delta g and Aquark turn quantum physics into products for medicine, energy and infrastructure today, not in some distant future. 4. Quantum security is commercialising fast. Arqit, KETS and Quantum Dice deliver quantum-safe encryption, key distribution and random numbers that defend against the coming quantum threat. 5. Lasers and foundries are the hidden enablers. Novacene’s lasers and Kelvin Nanotechnology’s foundry let other companies build and operate quantum hardware at all. 6. Adjacent firms reach revenue sooner. Many of these enabling firms sell working products now, giving Britain commercial quantum income while the computing race continues. What counts as a quantum-adjacent company? A quantum-adjacent company makes technology that the quantum sector depends on without itself selling a quantum computer, covering the supply chain, the enabling components and the parallel fields of quantum sensing and quantum communication. The distinction matters because the headlines focus
2 <b>Quantum Computing</b> Stocks That Are Further Along Than Anyone Is Giving Them Credit For
Quantum computing promises to be one of the next big things in technology, and that's prompted many growth investors to pile into the industry. But when we think "next big thing," that doesn't necessarily mean tomorrow or even a year or two from now. One thing that's held some investors back from getting in on this high-potential technology is the idea that its usefulness may be many years or even decades away. Even experts haven't always been certain about when this exciting technology might become part of our daily lives. Early last year, Nvidia chief Jensen Huang said quantum computing was decades away from the point of being very useful. A few months later, Huang said otherwise and even announced the creation of a quantum computing research center. And Microsoft (MSFT 0.06%) co-founder Bill Gates said last year that the technology might be ready to solve big problems in three to five years. The reason it's taking a while for quantum computing to become very useful is due to the complexity of the technology. It involves using qubits for calculations rather than the bits used by classical computers -- and qubits are fragile and often difficult to scale up. But there's reason to be optimistic about the progress of certain companies. In fact, two quantum stocks are further along than anyone is giving them credit for. Let's check them out. 1. Microsoft You probably know Microsoft well for its software suite, including popular products like Word and Excel, and you might even be familiar with the company's cloud computing business. These are major engines, driving years of revenue and profit growth -- and this has translated into returns for investors, too, with the stock rising 700% over the past decade. NASDAQ: MSFT Key Data Points But, while Microsoft is a
D-Wave's Government Equity Stake and the Q-Day Catalyst: A 43% Weekly Rally Examined ()
D-Wave's Government Equity Stake and the Q-Day Catalyst: A 43% Weekly Rally Examined 24.05.26 22:21 Börse Global (en) The US Commerce Department is set to become a direct shareholder in D-Wave Quantum, marking a rare instance of Washington taking equity in a public technology company rather than handing out grants. The $100 million commitment, formalized in a non-binding letter of intent signed on May 21, comes under the CHIPS and Science Act and entitles the government to newly issued common shares. For existing investors, the arrangement carries a double-edged quality. The strategic endorsement from a federal agency has ignited a powerful rally — the stock surged 13.1% on Friday alone to €25.04, bringing the weekly gain to 42.96%. But the equity injection will dilute current holders, a trade-off that market participants appear willing to accept for now in exchange for long-term state backing. The funding is part of a broader $2.01 billion initiative from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which selected D-Wave as one of nine quantum technology companies for federal support. Washington's objective is clear: shore up domestic supply chains and cement American leadership in quantum computing. D-Wave plans to channel the fresh capital into its research centers in Florida, Connecticut, and British Columbia, accelerating work on qubit optimization and error-rate reduction. Beneath the surface of the government deal lies a second narrative that has amplified investor attention. A growing debate over the so-called Q-Day — the moment when quantum computers can break today's encryption — has thrust D-Wave's annealing technology into the security conversation. The Global Risk Institute's Quantum Threat Timeline Report calls a cryptographically relevant quantum computer "quite possible" within a decade and "likely" within 15 years. Google has set an internal target of 2029 for post-quantum cryptography readiness. For banks, the stakes are existential:

NEAR's AI Breakout: Why Dynamic Resharding and <b>Quantum</b>-Safe Signing Matter
AI agents are moving on-chain, and the platforms that serve them must scale elastically while staying secure for decades. NEAR’s sharded design and account model put it in a unique spot as builders rethink infrastructure for autonomous apps and data-heavy workloads. This article unpacks why two ideas—dynamic resharding and quantum-safe signing—are central to NEAR’s AI moment. You’ll learn how they work, what they change for developers, the risks to weigh, and pragmatic steps to prepare. Quick Answer NEAR’s dynamic resharding is about automatically splitting and merging state shards to match demand, which can smooth fees and throughput for spiky AI workloads. Quantum-safe signing refers to adopting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) or hybrid keys so accounts remain secure if powerful quantum computers emerge. Together, they point to an elastic and future-resilient stack: scale when agents surge; rotate keys as cryptography evolves. - Elastic capacity: shards adapt to load instead of forcing apps to migrate manually. - Better UX: steadier fees and lower congestion during AI-driven bursts. - Crypto agility: account-level key rotation enables gradual PQC adoption. - Risk-aware: resharding adds cross-shard design complexity; PQC adds overhead. How does NEAR’s dynamic resharding actually work? NEAR’s core architecture, Nightshade, partitions state across multiple parallel shards, with validators producing “chunks” for each shard and assembling them into blocks. Dynamic resharding is the capability to automatically split a hot shard into multiple shards or merge underused shards, based on network conditions. The intent is to keep capacity responsive without manual coordination by app teams. In practice, this kind of elasticity aims to reduce hotspots. When an AI-driven app spikes (think inference payments or agent-to-agent bidding), the shard hosting its state can be split to distribute load, while quieter periods allow merging to reduce overhead. This helps smooth fees and confirms transactions faster under pressure. NEAR has
US Pumps $2B Into <b>Quantum</b> as Bitcoin Encryption Risk Grows | CoinMarketCap
The US is investing $2B into quantum computing as concerns grow over Bitcoin encryption vulnerabilities. Bitcoin News The US Department of Commerce has announced it will invest more than $2 billion in quantum computing companies. The funding covers nine firms, with $1 billion of the total going to IBM to build a new quantum chip manufacturing facility on US soil. "With the support of the US Department of Commerce, Anderon will be well-positioned to fuel America's fast-growing quantum technology industry," said IBM CEO Arvind Krishna. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the investments would create thousands of jobs and advance the country's quantum capabilities. IBM's quantum roadmap, published in November 2025, targets the delivery of a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer by 2029. Other Recipients and the Encryption Threat GlobalFoundries is set to receive $375 million. Atom Computing, D-Wave, Infleqtion, PsiQuantum, Quantinuum, and Rigetti are each slated for $100 million. Quantum startup Diraq will receive $38 million. The government will take equity stakes in each participating company in exchange for the funding. Superconducting qubits store information using tiny electrical circuits cooled to near absolute zero. A standard computer bit can only be a 0 or a 1. A qubit can exist in multiple states at the same time. That property allows quantum computers to solve certain problems far faster than conventional machines. Quantum security firm Project Eleven warned in a recent report that a computer capable of breaking that encryption could arrive as early as 2030. Google researchers have separately said that future quantum systems may require fewer qubits than previously estimated to crack modern cryptography. Both findings have accelerated concern among blockchain developers. Citi analysts said on May 21 that BTC may face greater long-term exposure to this threat than ETH. They pointed to Bitcoin's slower governance process as a barrier
