Episode Details

Quantinuum's H2 trapped-ion processor prepares a 54-qubit non-Abelian topological state and shows that fusing anyons, not just braiding them, unlocks a universal gate set — a real step toward fault-tolerant topological quantum computing. Plus: ESA's first quantum computer lands at its Earth observation center, Germany gets a pure-play public quantum stock, India's DRDO completes QKD field trials, Jane Goodall's Institute partners with IonQ on chimpanzee behavior research, PsiQuantum rounds out its leadership team, and D-Wave sets a firm Nasdaq listing date.
