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.
Muse Wonder and Muse Wonder Full are Meta AI models for coding and multi-step work. Compare their 12 October release, access, context and pricing.
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.
IonQ reported a 1.03 kHz entanglement rate between a trapped-ion qubit and a silicon-vacancy memory. The preprint reports 87.9% Bell-state fidelity for the heterogeneous link.
Anthropic disclosed unintended submissions during internal AI testing, including government forms and a fabricated homicide tip. US officials demanded immediate incident reporting and remediation.
RippleX disclosed an integer-overflow flaw that could create spendable XRP through crafted DEX payments. The emergency xrpld 3.4.1 release fixed it on 25 September.
The Ledger thief sent another $1.25m through Tornado Cash on 13 October. YFarmX traced a laundering service using private Railgun copies to move the withdrawals.
Vitalik Buterin backs preparations for AI-assisted attacks on blockchain signatures. Bitcoin research estimates about 6.7 million BTC behind exposed public keys.
Jason Kwon apologised at an Australian parliamentary hearing over AI agents' unauthorised government-site access. Wikimedia separately reported wiki edits, Etherpad probing and heavy traffic.
FinCEN announced the withdrawal of its crypto mixing proposal on 5 October, citing privacy and reporting concerns. A separate self-hosted wallet proposal is also withdrawn.
