For Shaun Pexton, Yale was like living in a <b>quantum</b> candy store
When he was a kid, Shaun Pexton would pore through popular science magazines like New Scientist and Scientific American to find the latest advances in astrophysics or biology. There was something about the vibrant layouts on glossy pages that evoked mystery. But by the time he was 12 or 13, one particular topic really started to fire his imagination: quantum mechanics. He wasn’t quite sure how it might be relevant to his life at the time, but there was something exciting about the complexities of this field — the idea of quantum “entanglement,” for instance, a phenomenon so critical to the emerging field of quantum computing — that seemed almost too impossible to grasp. “I would always try to find the page that had the word ‘quantum,’” remembers Pexton, a Yale senior from Silliman College. “The magazine would have these articles with almost magical diagrams that showed these cool processes. To me it really was magic because it was so distant from what I saw every day. It really pulled me in, in a very real sense.” For Pexton, who was born in Hong Kong, grew up in Singapore, but spent his high school years in the U.K., these mysteries became ever more engrossing, and to better understand them he expanded his reading to journal articles and textbooks. When it came time for college he turned his attention to Yale, a university steeped in quantum history, where pioneering researchers have imagined and built the infrastructure for the next generation of quantum technology — and a seedbed for tech industry talent. Once he got here, it was like being in a quantum candy store. And he’s made the most of every opportunity. A double major in Applied Physics and Computer Science, Pexton has taken graduate-level courses with several of the quantum
Cult Stock Showdown: Buy, Sell, or Hold Archer Aviation, Rigetti <b>Computing</b>, SoundHound AI
Though Archer Aviation (NYSE: ACHR | ACHR Price Prediction) at $6.52 a share screens neutrally, Rigetti Computing (NASDAQ: RGTI) at $18.42 and SoundHound AI (NASDAQ: SOUN) at $8.42 screen bullishly. Three of the most-watched speculative names on Reddit have rallied off April lows and now face key decision points. All three share a profile: pre-profit, high beta, and narrative-driven. Archer is racing toward FAA certification of its Midnight eVTOL air taxi. Rigetti builds superconducting quantum processors. SoundHound runs voice AI across automotive, restaurants, and enterprise. Each has rallied roughly 20% over the past month while the broader market consolidated, returning roughly 3%. Archer Aviation: Wait for the Catalysts Archer has the cleanest analyst sheet: two Strong Buys, four Buys, three Holds, and zero Sell ratings. Its $10.61 consensus analyst target implies meaningful upside as well. The Midnight aircraft has closed Phase 3 of FAA Type Certification, secured 100% FAA acceptance of all 797 Means of Compliance, and won the LA28 Olympic air taxi designation. The issue is what it costs to wait. Q1 net loss widened to $217.7 million, cash burn runs near $189 million per quarter, and the beta of 3.13 means any FAA delay hits harder than the index. Shares are down 41.6% over the past year. The thesis is binary on certification timing, and the risk/reward profile does not improve before the next clear milestone. Rigetti Computing: The Highest-Conviction Setup Rigetti is the cleanest quantum pure-play available. Q1 revenue nearly tripled to $4.40 million, the 108-qubit Cepheus-1 system went live across AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, and Rigetti’s own QCS, and median 99.8% two-qubit gate fidelity closes the gap with larger rivals. The balance sheet is strong at $569 million in cash and investments with no debt. Shares are up 86.7% over the past year. The bear case
NVision: $55 Million Series B Raised To Expand From <b>Quantum</b> Sensing Into <b>Quantum</b> ...
NVision announced a $55 million Series B financing round as the company expands from quantum sensing into quantum computing, with the goal of accelerating the discovery and validation of new therapies. The funding round was anchored by Abbott and also included a $17 million venture loan from the European Investment Bank. Other investors participating in the round included Playground Global, Matterwave Ventures, and Entrée Capital. The new financing brings NVision’s total capital raised to $120 million. NVision’s quantum-enhanced sensing platform, POLARIS, leverages quantum technology to amplify MRI signals from sugar-based imaging agents, enabling real-time metabolic measurements with standard MRI systems. The platform is designed to help researchers assess treatment response within hours or days based on disease biology rather than waiting months for conventional imaging methods to reveal morphological changes. The company is now extending the molecular quantum approach behind POLARIS into quantum computing. During the development of its MRI signal enhancement technology, NVision discovered a new class of organic molecule-based qubits. The company believes these qubits can support a new quantum-driven approach to drug development by enabling the design of more effective drug candidates while POLARIS rapidly validates them in biological environments. NVision’s vision is to create a unified “compute and validate” system that combines quantum computing for drug design with quantum sensing for real-world therapeutic validation. POLARIS systems are already being installed at leading cancer centers around the world, with deployments expected at approximately 20 centers across the U.S., Europe, and Asia by the end of the year. Sites include Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, University of Cambridge, and Technical University of Munich. The company also introduced its quantum computing platform known as Photonic Integrated Quantum Circuits, or PIQC, pronounced “Pixie.” The platform uses single photon-emitting organic molecules integrated as thin organic layers onto photonic chips, creating a

IBM Think 2026: From AI Pilots to an Operating Model | Bain & Company
Brief At a Glance - IBM moved the AI conversation from model adoption to operating model redesign, and from AI-enabled business to AI-first. - Product launches took center stage, including Sovereign Core and IBM Bob, among others. - Sovereignty was a major theme, with IBM highlighting its hybrid footprint and global posture as differentiators. - Quantum breakthroughs across medical fields and other industries continue to validate the revolutionary potential, and a quantum-and-AI flywheel is beginning to take shape. A year ago at Think, the conversation was about getting from AI prototype to production. This year, the bar moved further. IBM’s stance at Think was that value creation from AI will accrue to organizations that rebuild their operating model around AI, not those that run point workflow optimizations. IBM’s own client zero story, with $4.5 billion in productivity unlocked over three years, was cited throughout Think as a natural proof point. The human side mattered just as much. Eighty-three percent of CEOs in IBM’s 2026 survey said AI success depends more on adoption than on the technology itself, with executive panelists from IBM clients echoing the sentiments live. Bain shares this view that AI adoption—not tooling—limits AI ROI, finding that AI leaders with scale adoption deliver 10% to 25% EBITDA gains. “The enterprises pulling ahead are not deploying more AI—they’re redesigning how their business operates.” The agentic operating layer is taking shape Rob Thomas, IBM’s senior vice president of software and chief commercial officer, organized IBM’s operating model argument around four imperatives: intelligence, action, operations, and trust, supported by marquee launches like IBM Bob (AI coding assistance), Concert (agentic IT operations platform), and Confluent (real-time data streaming). In addition, IBM positioned Apptio’s role in the AI operating model as making AI and broader costs easier to see across the tech stack

Gaussian boson sampling with 1,024 squeezed states in 8,176 modes | Nature
Abstract The development of large-scale, high-fidelity quantum processors is a fundamental scientific challenge, essential for exploring the boundaries of classical computation and advancing towards fault-tolerant systems. Gaussian boson sampling not only serves as a prominent model for demonstrating quantum computational advantage1,2,3 but can also generate bosonic error-correcting codes for fault-tolerant quantum computing4,5,6. However, its scalability has been hindered by significant photon loss in increasingly large and complex encoding circuits. Here we show a programmable photonic quantum processor, Jiuzhang 4.0, which incorporates 1,024 high-efficiency squeezed states into a hybrid spatial–temporal encoded 8,176-mode circuit. By achieving 92% source efficiency and 51% overall system efficiency, the processor produces samples with detection events up to 3,050 photons, representing an order-of-magnitude increase in scale over previous demonstrations7,8,9,10. This architecture realizes a cubic scaling of connectivity (163 = 4, 096), enabling sampling within a Hilbert space of dimension approximately 102,461. The experimental results are rigorously validated against all current classical simulation methods, especially the matrix product state algorithms recently designed to exploit photon loss11. The ability to control thousands of photons in programmable low-loss quantum processors pushes the experimental frontier into a regime far beyond classical tractability and opens a pathway to trillion-qumode three-dimensional cluster states and fault-tolerant photonic quantum hardware.

For 250 years, America didn't just invent the future — it built it. That connection is breaking ...
For 250 years, America has done something no other country has managed at comparable scale: it has not merely invented the future, it has built it. Many of the foundations of modern life are distinctly American. By our count, Americans created or supported 76 of the 100 most important inventions of the past 250 years, from the telegraph and the electric grid to the airplane, the transistor, the personal computer, and generative AI. But invention has never been the whole story. America’s enduring strength has been reinvention: reshaping its economy around each geopolitical development and technological leap, turning discovery into industrial power, prosperity, and global influence. The railroad era, the GI Bill, the internet—each was a moment when America did not merely lead in ideas but mobilized the institutions, infrastructure, and workforce needed to scale them. As the country approaches its 250th anniversary, that cycle—from invention to reinvention—is under strain in ways that have no clear precedent. The question for the next 250 years is whether America can close the gap between what it discovers and what it builds, before others do it first. As the country approaches its 250th anniversary, the question is whether it can reinvent itself again, and quickly, as the connection between breakthrough ideas and industrial capacity once again becomes central to growth. At each key turning point, American inventions have been followed by industrial transformation. The rapid build-out of railroads and mass production powered the rise of an industrial economy. In the 20th century, federal research funding and world-class universities fostered inventions that turned the United States into a scientific superpower. Personal computers and the internet gave rise to a digital economy built on software, networks, and global information flows. Growth has been sparked by new ideas, but nurtured by the institutions, infrastructure, and workforce

Indiana's place in the <b>quantum computer</b> race: What tech giants want and what experts say
INDIANAPOLIS — Across the nation, a technological revolution is underway. AI and data centers are at the helm. As they face growing opposition in Indiana, a new tech is starting to emerge: Quantum computing — and Indiana plays a big role. Quantum companies are pushing to roll out quantum technology around the world. China and the United States are some of the major players. But in the state, universities and quantum companies are partnering with tech giants like IBM, Google, and Microsoft to make quantum discoveries. In Indiana, there is a drive to connect quantum technology to a variety of fields, from the government and pharmaceuticals to data centers across the state. One company, Quantum Corridor, say they're doing that right now. But why? What makes quantum computing special? A Quantum Breakdown Classical computing is what people use now. It relies on bits to process and store information; they can either be 0 or 1. Think of them working in a chain, only having the ability to go back and forth. This is what's in your laptop, phone, or tablet. Quantum computing uses qubits, they can be 0, 1 or both simultaneously. They obey a completely different law of physics, allowing for complex problems to be solved. Instead of working inside of this chain, they can move freely, not only back and forth but around it. Opening the door for endless possibilities. "That really opens the window to a lot of different types of calculations that we could run in theory that were not possible before," IBM Quantum's global lead for content and education, Olivia Lanes, said. In theory, quantum computing will be able to do this at record breaking speeds, but it's unclear the extent to which it's happening now. IBM has set a timeline for their computing, with
