US Air Force Begins Testing Its First Collaborative Combat Aircraft
The United States Air Force has received Anduril's YFQ-44A and General Atomics' YFQ-42A for experiments on how semi-autonomous aircraft can operate with crewed fighters in contested airspace
Quantum Hardware Depends on a Borderless Supply Network
A survey of 160 quantum enterprises across 15 countries finds that 90% depend on foreign suppliers while 74% sell abroad, revealing why protectionist controls could disrupt the sector.
Quantum Utility Starts With Chemistry Not Qubit Counts
Matthias Troyer's assessment of quantum computing points to chemistry as the clearest near-term application while error correction, data movement, hardware architecture and end-to-end cost determine whether larger systems will become scientifically useful.
