Quantum phononic links
Researchers at the University of Warwick introduced a technique for coupling qubits that share a chip but are not neighbors, called quantum phononic links. Their quantum processing unit relies on silicon with a thin germanium crystal layer. Phonons couple directly to spin qubits via deformation potentials, without relying on piezoelectric transducers typically used in other technologies.
This work was published in APL Quantum and was covered last week by LiveScience.

Leave Granola and get up to 12 months free of Wispr Flow Notetaker + Dictation
If you have paid time left on an individual Granola plan, we'll match it with a Wispr Flow subscription that includes Notetaker and dictation, and add bonus time, up to 12 months total. Sign in or create a Wispr account and submit proof of your plan to check eligibility.
Anderon
IEEE Spectrum took a close look at the Anderon quantum foundry in Albany, New York. It will be at an existing IBM site that is already producing quantum wafers on a production-scale manufacturing line. The story also reported that Rigetti is in talks to produce chips at the facility “not because of capacity, but because of capability,” according to Rigetti CEO Subodh Kulkarni.

NATO
NATO released its 2026 quantum technology plan, including an implementation plan for making the alliance and allied armed forces quantum ready. The plan discusses quantum use cases, testing and development timelines, and standardization and interoperability timelines.
