A universal anyon gate set lands on trapped ions, not topological hardware

Quantinuum's result demonstrates a universal topological gate set on conventional qubits, while the resource advantage that matters remains unproven.

The Switch That Doesn't Collapse the Qubit

Cisco's research prototype and DARPA's 19-team backbone program together define what the first-generation network layer of a quantum-classical hybrid actually looks like, and what still doesn't work.
