Anthropic's Claude Mythos AI has dealt a fatal blow to the post-quantum signature scheme HAWK by producing a successful key recovery attack, effectively ending its standardization prospects, while also achieving a modest improvement on reduced-round AES attacks that poses no real-world threat to current encryption.
Spanish AI startup Multiverse Computing raises $570M at a $1.7B valuation, unveiling quantum-inspired technology that shrinks AI models by up to 95%, potentially enabling powerful AI to run directly on smartphones without cloud infrastructure.
Atom Computing secures $100 million in Series C funding led by Third Point Ventures, cementing its position as one of only nine U.S. government-backed quantum computing startups and signaling surging investor confidence in the quantum computing sector.
The U.S. and Japan launch a historic $1 billion, five-year science partnership uniting 24 top research institutions to drive breakthroughs in quantum science, fusion energy, AI, biotechnology, and particle physics, marking Japan as the first international partner in President Trump's Genesis Mission.
Reflection AI lands a landmark Department of Energy partnership to serve as the AI model provider for the Genesis Mission, deploying quantum-powered AI research tools across 17 national laboratories while simultaneously expanding its government reach with Pentagon and South Korea deals.
IBM, Cleveland Clinic, and Riken achieve a quantum computing breakthrough by simulating a 12,635-atom protein complex — a massive leap from just 10 atoms in October 2024 — unlocking powerful new possibilities for drug discovery and disease treatment.
A new IBM CEO study finds that AI-first leaders are scaling more initiatives and driving autonomous decision-making from 25% to a projected 48% by 2030, while 76% now have a Chief AI Officer in place and 82% are already tapping into quantum ecosystems, revealing a widening competitive gap between prepared and unprepared organizations.
MIT and IBM are launching the MIT-IBM Computing Research Lab, expanding their seven-year AI collaboration into quantum and hybrid computing systems to tackle real-world challenges like drug discovery, weather prediction, and financial forecasting.
Nvidia launches Ising, a family of open AI models claiming to deliver error correction decoding 2.5 times faster and three times more accurate than conventional methods, already being adopted by Harvard and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab as the tech giant moves to embed itself in the quantum computing ecosystem before the technology matures.
NVIDIA launches Ising, the world's first open-source AI model family built to supercharge quantum computing, cutting processor calibration time from days to hours and delivering error correction that is 2.5x faster and 3x more accurate than current industry standards, with Harvard, Fermilab, and other major institutions already on board.
