Zapata Quantum CEO Sumit Kapur is named to The Boston Business Journal’s 2026 Power 50: Movement Makers, recognizing leaders driving positive change in Greater Boston’s business and community.

Java 27 is now available from Oracle, boosting TLS 1.3 with quantum-resistant key exchange and delivering nine JDK enhancements.

Oxford University’s team links physics and robotics with a new wave-based control system—published in Nature Communications—that uses physical waves for AI processing, potentially reducing energy consumption.

Atlas Technologies helps Oxford physicists track quantum entanglement in Z bosons at the Large Hadron Collider.

Entropic rigidity depth now separates quantum error correction codes into three distinct levels, zero, one, or two, where decoding methods begin to diverge in effectiveness. Previously, assessing when maximum-probability and maximum-likelihood decodings yielded differing results relied on estimations rather than precise benchmarks. This work establishes that separation point through geometrical and algebraic properties inherent within quantum memories.
