DOE roadmap
The Department of Energy released its new quantum computing roadmap last week, with a focus on scientific utility. The roadmap was developed by the Office of Science Advisory Committee’s Quantum Subcommittee, which is chaired by Fermilab’s Anna Grassellino.
“Our goal is not simply to build the largest quantum computer; it is to solve problems that are otherwise completely intractable. We are talking about predicting exact molecular properties for drug discovery, designing transformative catalysts for manufacturing, simulating fusion-relevant materials, and modeling the fundamental physics of the early universe. The report emphasizes that the Department of Energy is uniquely positioned to lead this transition,” DOE Under Secretary for Science Dario Gill wrote in an introduction.

Analytics on Live Data Without Leaving Postgres
When analytics on Postgres slows down, most teams add a second database. Then come the pipelines, the sync jobs, and a copy of your data that's always a little behind.
TimescaleDB takes a different approach: extend Postgres instead of splitting away from it. Hypertables partition your data automatically as volume grows. Hypercore compression cuts storage up to 95%. Continuous aggregates keep dashboards live without re-querying everything.
CERN runs Postgres this way for sensor data from the Large Hadron Collider.
No split architecture, no pipeline lag, no new query language to learn. Same SQL, same drivers, same tools.

Neuroscience
A team from University of Montreal, IBM, University of Ottawa, and Japan’s Teikyo University published a review of the possibilities of using quantum computing in neuroscience, pointing out that simulations and analysis of interactions between local and global brain states will soon stress classical methods.
The essay ran in Nature Reviews Neuroscience.
Quantum World Congress
The Baltimore Banner covered last week’s Quantum World Congress in Maryland. The story discussed progress on Governor Was Moore’s $1 billion Capital of Quantum initiative and the quantum startups that have established themselves in the University of Maryland’s Discovery District, as well as Microsoft Quantum’s new research center in the district.

Stop rewriting prompts. Start engineering loops.
Most developers babysit AI one prompt at a time. Top engineers don't, they build loops that plan, execute, and self-correct.
