Quantum Tech Leap: Breakthroughs, Billion‑Dollar Bets & Bold Moves (July 23–24, 2025)

On July 23, 2025, French researchers led by Eleni Diamanti published a protocol in PRX Quantum to quantify the accuracy of quantum information transmissions with untrusted devices, enabling verification of entangled photon messages even with simulated loss and attacks while preserving quantum data. Two independent groups reported that diamond-based quantum sensors could operate more than 100 sensor qubits in parallel using NV-center diamonds, marking a ninefold increase toward scalable quantum sensing. On July 24, 2025, SuperQ Quantum Computing Inc. announced its first commercial revenue from a project with D-Wave and Verge Ag to optimize route planning for autonomous farm robots

Beyond Smartphones: AR Glasses, Brain Chips & the Race to Replace Your Phone

Beyond Smartphones: AR Glasses, Brain Chips & the Race to Replace Your Phone

In 2023 global smartphone shipments were about 1.17 billion units, with average replacement cycles exceeding 3 years. AR glasses, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), smart wearables, and ambient computing are identified as the leading contenders to replace or augment smartphones. Apple launched Vision Pro in early 2024 as a $3,499 mixed-reality headset, though its weight, battery life, and lack of apps limited mass-market appeal. IDC projects AR glasses shipments to surpass 5 million by 2027, up from under 1 million in 2023. Meta’s Reality Labs spent more than $10 billion in 2024 pursuing wearable AR glasses. On January 28, 2024, Neuralink implanted

Jam-Proof & Unstoppable: How Fiber-Optic Drones Are Rewiring the Future of UAVs

Jam-Proof & Unstoppable: How Fiber-Optic Drones Are Rewiring the Future of UAVs

Fiber-optic drones carry control commands and high-bandwidth video via a tether, delivering a 1 Gbps (1000Base-T) link with near-zero latency and immunity to RF jamming. Fiber communications were pioneered by Charles Kao in 1966 and proven practical by 1977, enabling high-bandwidth data transfer for drones. Russia deployed fiber-tethered kamikaze FPV drones in spring 2024 during the Ukraine conflict, achieving demonstrated ranges of 20–30 km. By late 2024, Ukraine’s 3DTech with the Khyzhak REBOFF series and Russia’s Ushkuynik group’s Knyaz Vandal were among the first operational fiber-drone models. In the 2010s, tethered systems from Elistair and Hoverfly used Kevlar-based tethers for
