Quantinuum Announces Generative Quantum AI Breakthrough with Massive Commercial Potential

“While some may suggest that a standalone quantum computer is still years away, the commercial opportunities from this breakthrough are here and now,” said Dr. Thomas Ehmer from the Healthcare business sector of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany. “The generation of meaningful synthetic data, specifically when you do not have many training data, is nontrivial and we see it as a new era for AI unlocked by quantum technologies. The Helios system, launching later this year will hopefully enable AI to be used in unprecedented ways and unlocking transformative potential across industries.”

Gen QAI leverages the unique capabilities of quantum computing to explore data complexities far beyond what classical computing systems and GPUs can handle. Quantinuum is collaborating with industry partners on Generative AI projects that harness the power of quantum computing in sectors such as automotive, pharmaceuticals and materials science. In the coming months, Quantinuum will share results from ongoing collaborations, showcasing the groundbreaking potential of quantum-driven advancements in Generative AI.

Speed And Innovation: How DevOps Is Transforming Business Landscapes

Today’s fast-moving, technology-enabled world of business is measured by speed and innovation. DevOps is the cultural shift combining software development and IT operations that helps improve collaboration, optimize workflow and increase overall operational efficiency.

Adopting DevOps currently enables companies to integrate continuous software updates, decrease errors through automation and easily scale cloud solutions. For businesses looking to maintain or even increase competitiveness and grow technology, this is a necessary transformation.

While DevOps transformation is often presented as a buzzword, it’s now a movement that shapes how teams create and deploy software. DevOps, at its core, is about collaboration at the intersection of development and operations that blurs the lines between these two groups. DevOps teams each integrate faster and more efficient software delivery by integrating these teams.

Collaboration uncovers how gravity influences qubits

A collaboration between Nordita, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, hosted by Stockholm University, KTH and Google Quantum AI explores how gravitational fields influence quantum computing hardware, laying the foundation for advances in quantum sensing.

Physicists from Nordita, together with Google Quantum AI, have published a pioneering study that investigates how classical gravitational fields can influence the performance of hardware.

The research, led by Professor Alexander Balatsky (Nordita and KTH) and Pedram Roushan (Google’s project leader in quantum computing), highlights a surprising interplay between gravity and , breaking new ground in quantum technology. The team also includes Patrick Wong and Joris Schaltegger, researchers at Nordita.

AI agents for e-commerce startup, founded by Google and DeepMind alums, raises $10M seed

Dubai-based Qeen.ai (stylized as qeen.ai) is working to make this a reality in the Middle East and beyond. The startup has raised $10 million to scale its platform, which provides autonomous AI agents for e-commerce businesses.

Prosus Ventures, a major e-commerce investor, led the seed round, which is not only one of the largest in the Middle East’s AI industry but in MENA overall. The VC believes Qeen.ai is well-positioned to bring AI-driven automation to merchants as AI agents reshape online marketplaces.

Founders Morteza Ibrahimi (CEO), Ahmad Khwlieh (CTO), and Dina Alsamhan (CBO) started Qeen after years of working on AI at Google and DeepMind.
