As of September 2026: Early adopter and validation partner

Designing software for fault-tolerant quantum computers has meant rebuilding the toolchain every time a hardware maker changes its qubit type or error-correction code. Nvidia's CUDA-Q Logical, announced Sep 14, gives researchers a single programmable layer to model algorithms, error-correction methods, and processor architectures side-by-side before building hardware.

As of May 2026: Co-author institution on fusion reactor axion paper

Fusion reactors might crack open the dark matter mystery without trying. University of Cincinnati physicist Jure Zupan and colleagues at Fermilab, MIT, and Technion just published a breakthrough. The study shows how neutrons slamming into reactor walls could spawn axions—hypothetical particles that may explain the 27% of the universe we can't see, and we're already building these reactors for clean energy.
