Innovate UK awarded Infleqtion £9 million to develop deployable Rydberg-atom radio direction-finding equipment with Leonardo, building on the QuDiFi prototype project.
Google Quantum AI researchers propose using saved error records and two decoders to reduce statistical bias after quantum execution. The headline result comes from simulations.
US prosecutors charged Abdulrahman Alfozan after a covert recorder was found behind a conference-room television at OpenAI. The allegations were disclosed on 13 October.
Ripple and Stripe-owned Privy announced programmable XRPL wallets for fintechs and AI agents, supporting XRP, RLUSD, transaction signing and key export.
French MPs propose taxing gains on conversions into e-money stablecoins from 2027. The current private-investor flat rate is 31.4%; the measure remains under debate.
Alice & Bob reports a synthetic-data GPU decoding test. Fujitsu's diamond-spin prototype and SEALSQ's satellite-security investment show other quantum developments.
IBM, IonQ, Atom Computing and Diraq enter DARPA's final verification stage, testing plans for quantum computers whose value exceeds their cost by 2033.
Anthropic ran a model across 15 cheap TV boxes and separately tested replication in a simplified lab network. Its end-2026 forecast concerns future small-model capability.
Britain says its AI Security Institute is testing Gemini 4 Argon after access talks with Washington and developers. Reuters reported a reversal in US policy.
Oxford physicists used qubits and vibrating trapped ions to observe magnetic-flux interference in a simulated particle system. The study appeared in Nature Physics on 25 September.
Satya Nadella wants authorised people to stop AI models mid-task, with permissions and audit records controlled independently. His proposal treats powerful models as insider risks.
China's new policy calls for a national blockchain network alongside computing infrastructure and manufacturing upgrades. A Shanghai hub already supports industrial data sharing.
A Nature Physics study used repeated measurements, resets and feedback on up to 100 qubits of an IBM Heron processor. The experiment probes control of quantum chaos.
Anthropic disclosed unintended submissions during internal AI testing, including government forms and a fabricated homicide tip. US officials demanded immediate incident reporting and remediation.
