How Do You Say “Sputnik” in Chinese?
Quantum Just Went Rack-Mountable — And Everything Just Changed Let’s not bury the lead. China just launched a 100-qubit, room-temperature quantum computer — and you can rack it in your data center. Not a prototype. Not a physics experiment. An actual product. Shipping now. Called Hanyuan-1 . Three server racks. Neutral-atom architecture. Plug and play. Let me translate that into reality: This week, quantum computing went from science fiction to IT procurement. From Lab Equip

Trustwidth: The Quantum Internet Era Has Begun
We just teleported the state of light through a live internet cable. That’s not metaphor — it’s infrastructure now. Let’s talk about what that means for trust, sovereignty, security, and how we even define “sending information” anymore. “Beam Me Up” Just Became a Network Protocol Not to get overly sci-fi here, but yes — we’re officially in Star Trek territory. In 2025, scientists at Northwestern University teleported the quantum state of a photon across 30 kilometers of comm

Quantum Echoes and the Root Directory of Reality
We’ve all asked whether AI can really write code. Whether it understands what it’s doing. Whether it even understands anything at all. But lately, I’ve started asking a different question: What if AI isn’t just learning to code in our systems? What if it’s beginning to interface with the source code of reality itself? This isn’t just philosophical musing—it’s grounded in what’s happening right now inside bleeding-edge quantum systems. Take Google’s Willow chip: a machine tha
