Scientists Use AI and Quantum Computing to Generate New Peptides in Spare Time
Researchers at the Technical University of Denmark used a hybrid AI-quantum computing system to generate novel peptides, achieving better results than classical models especially with limited data. The work, done on weekends with leftover funds, could accelerate personalized immunotherapies and vaccines.
AI-Enhanced Neural Network Auto-Tunes Quantum Dot Simulators for Majorana Mode Discovery
Researchers propose a neural network-based model that learns the landscape of quantum dot simulators and autotunes them toward Majorana modes. The deep vision-transformer network, trained on synthetic conductance maps with a physics-informed loss, can drive a quantum dot chain to a topological phase in a single update step from a broad range of initial detunings.
Technology India Pitches Quantum Computing Collaboration with Russia Under National Mission at BRICS Forum
India has proposed a quantum computing collaboration with Russia under its National Quantum Mission (NQM), as announced by Indian Ambassador to Russia Vinay Kumar at the BRICS Quantum Technologies forum in Moscow. The NQM aims to develop a complete quantum ecosystem, including quantum computers by 2031, with applications in drug discovery, cybersecurity, AI, and climate modeling. India's four IIT technology hubs in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru will drive international cooperation.
Technology How emerging tech is rewriting cyberwarfare: AI and quantum computing shift the balance
AI, quantum computing, and automation are converging to fundamentally alter cyberwarfare. According to a TechRadar analysis, 65% of IT decision-makers say AI innovation outruns cybersecurity policies, while 79% fear nation-states will use AI for sophisticated attacks. Quantum computing, though not yet commercial, is already seen as an existential threat by a quarter of IT leaders, with China and Russia actively developing quantum-based weapons and navigation systems.
Technology Quantum Computing’s Public Market Moment: Quantinuum IPO Sees Strong Demand Despite Massive Losses
Quantinuum, a quantum-computer maker, goes public on the Nasdaq amid strong investor demand, despite losing nearly $200 million last year and a revenue drop in early 2026. The company is the fourth quantum firm to list in the US this year and the first via a traditional IPO. A $2 billion US government investment in quantum technology has bolstered market confidence, but experts caution that the technology may never be commercially viable.
