Guest Post: Will Quantum be Overshadowed by AI Hype? What The UK’s Quantum Startups Need Right Now
Guest Post by Kimberly Brook When President Trump announced the £31 billion Tech Prosperity Deal as part of his recent state visit to the UK, all the talk was about AI – understandably, given headline-grabbing figures such as Nvidia’s commitment to invest £2 billion into British AI startups. What wasn’t as widely noticed is that […]
EeroQ Demonstrates Single-Electron Quantum Control Above 1 Kelvin
Insider Brief EeroQ Corporation and Michigan State University researchers demonstrated the trapping and detection of single electrons on liquid helium at temperatures above one kelvin. The experiment, published in Physical Review X, used a superconducting microwave resonator to measure frequency shifts caused by individual electrons, showing precise control without relying on ultra-cold dilution refrigerators. The […]

Deputy Director Choo highlighted the limitations of conventional and quantum Monte Carlo methods for pricing complex derivatives and emphasized the need for hybrid quantum–classical algorithms. […]
Breaking the Technical Validation Loop: How Deep Tech Founders Turn Endless POCs Into Actual Revenue
Guest Post By Mark M.J. Scott President of Northern Pixels Inc. You’ve cracked the impossible. Your deep tech solution is genuinely groundbreaking. But a year into commercialization, you’re watching your runway burn while “interested” prospects disappear into endless technical evaluations that never convert to revenue. You’re not failing because your technology isn’t good enough. You’re failing […]
