A newsletter featuring commentary and researcher conversations on quantum computing, networking, and sensing. Issues cover the quantum software community, industry hype versus usefulness, and infrastructure topics like standard hardware interfaces.
A physics lab leader writes first-person field notes on how AI agents and coding tools are changing research work, from energy use projections to simulation software and lab culture. Readers get concrete estimates, reasoned arguments and practical experience from a quantum devices lab.
Essential Technology, published by Convergent Research, explains how to build focused research organizations (FROs) that tackle scientific bottlenecks too large for labs or startups. It covers calls for founders, analysis of NSF X-Labs funding topics, and where new independent teams could add value.
A short, jargon-free roundup of quantum technology news covering computing, sensing, communications, networking and cryptography. Issues report on silicon spin qubit progress, DARPA funding for a quantum startup, and a major quantum technology encyclopedia update.
