The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has declared 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, recognizing 100 years since the first developments of quantum mechanics. Now, New Mexico is poised for a foundational role in the technology that could change the world. Kicking off Aug. 31, hundreds of stakeholders in quantum will descend on the Albuquerque Convention Center for a week-long collaboration affectionately known as Quantum Week.
'Quantum Week is all about bringing our research community together with industry,' said LANL Project Director Candace Culhane. 'So we have academics. We have researchers from the national labs. We have key personnel from industry that are creating quantum computers and selling them to the public. And we bring them all together in one place.'
Among the attendees are leaders in quantum technology working at the 'forefront of quantum computing and engineering,' as well as industry leaders, government and academic stakeholders, and folks looking to break into the vast world of quantum.
'We have workshops to bring to communities that have a particular interest together, tutorials where people can learn and exchange ideas, panels, birds of a feather session,' said Culhane. 'And then we also have our very exciting exhibit hall where you can go in and meet the vendors, talk to their key people, learn about their products, and just make new connections.'
As project director for Los Alamos National Labs and Quantum Science Coordinator Candace Culhane says, the Land of Enchantment is primed for a ground-floor role in the technology. 'We like to say that New Mexico is a quantum state,' said Culhane. 'We have the center for quantum information and control at the University of New Mexico, and they have trained many quantum physicists who have gone on to hold senior positions and companies that are doing this great cutting-edge research in quantum computing.'
And with a legacy of scientific discovery, two national laboratories, and state institutions going all-in on the technology, the quantum sky's the limit for New Mexico.

viaNexus Unveils MCP Service to Enable Agent-Driven Access to Financial Data
NEW YORK, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- viaNexus, the high-performance financial data platform built for intelligent systems, today announced the release of its MCP Service, a first-of-its-kind MCP implementation enabling a proper client/server architecture for autonomous agents to securely discover, request, and consume financial data — without manual Authentication/Authorization and paywall integration removinghuman intervention. The viaNexus MCP Service leverages the emerging Model Context Protocol (MCP) to deliver real-time, entitlement-aware access to market data, filings, fundamentals, news and more. Each agent is assigned a scoped identity and permission set, allowing precise control over what data can be accessed, by whom, and under what terms. "Agents are the new users, and data is their fuel," said Tim Baker, CEO of viaNexus. "With the MCP Service, agents can connect directly to our data platform — with secure authentication, entitlements, and governance built in from the start." Unlike current MCP server implementations, which are currently being advertised as API interfaces, often lack native support for secure authentication protocols, and agent-specific access controls, the viaNexus solution introduces several key innovations: Agent-Scoped Identity and Access Control — Unique, auditable access tied to organizational policies and account-level entitlements Asynchronous Authorization Workflow — Secure approval flows and timed bearer tokens remove reliance on human-mediated OAuth flows, which are incompatible with autonomous workflows Built-In Paywall Integration — Data providers can configure usage-based access and pricing, confident that monetization and compliance are enforced programmatically Native Integration with viaNexus Data — Agents can retrieve structured data on demand, fueling analysis, reasoning, or downstream processes "This is just the beginning," said Pedro Aguayo, CTO of viaNexus. "We're already working on open sourcing the entire client stack — including connectors, configuration tools, and telemetry. Our goal is to make secure, agentic data workflows easy to build, deploy, and scale."

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures trade mixed with Google, Tesla earnings in focus
US stock futures traded mixed on Thursday, as hopes for a US-EU trade deal kept fresh records in sight and Wall Street assessed earnings from tech giants Alphabet (GOOG) and Tesla (TSLA). Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) dropped 0.3% amid a post-earnings slide in IBM (IBM), after the blue-chip index ended just shy of its first record close this year. Meanwhile, contracts on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 (NQ=F) rose roughly 0.4%, while S&P 500 futures (ES=F) were little changed on the heels of another all-time closing high. Alphabet beat Wall Street's second-quarter earnings expectations and doubled down on its AI spending spree. The Google parent's stock rose in premarket trading, helping buoy the tech-focused gauges. But fellow "Magnificent Seven" stalwart Tesla's stock sank after an earnings miss and a warning from CEO Elon Musk that the EV maker faced "rough quarters" as President Trump's budget bill kills off tax credits. Meanwhile, fresh data showed Tesla sales in Europe fell in June for the sixth month in a row. In other corporate results, Chipotle (CMG) saw its stock plunge after reporting its second straight sales decline. Though IBM (IBM) beat Wall Street expectations on profit, its software sales disappointed, resulting in its stock falling too. Earnings season continues on Thursday with results from Intel (INTC) and American Airlines (AAL). In Washington D.C. on Wednesday evening, Trump said at an AI summit that US trading partners will see tariff rates ranging from 15% to 50%. Previously, the president had suggested that tariff rates would settle lower, around 10% to 15%.

Trending tickers: Chipotle Mexican Grill, T-mobile and Wolfspeed Here are some top stocks trending on Yahoo Finance in premarket trading: Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) stock fell 10% before the bell on Thursday after reporting another quarter of negative sales growth. The fast-casual restaurant chain posted results on Wednesday as it navigates an uncertain consumer environment and as its new leadership deals with the most challenging backdrop in years. T-mobile (TMUS) stock rose 5% premarket on Thursday after beat analyst estimates on Wednesday. The telecom group's CEO Mike Sievert told Yahoo Finance's executive editor Brian Sozzi that the company's steady value messaging is helping it to gain market share. Wolfspeed (WOLF) shares rose 18% before the bell. The chipmaker's stock reacted positively this week to the new US-Japan trade deal and has been up 13% over the last five days. The US-Japan trade deal boosts optimism for Wolfspeed as it supports Renesas' EV chip production, raising hopes for more deals with automakers like Jaguar Land Rover. American Eagle stock soars after-hours in latest meme push Stock in retail giant American Eagle Outfitters, Inc. (AEO) flew up over 25% in after-hours trades overnight Thursday. The individual share price went from $10.82 at close to a peak of $13.80 as of 10:57 p.m. EDT. The jump in value can be attributed to the current meme stock phase that has pushed up value in companies such as Opendoor (OPEN), Krispy Kreme (DNUT), Kohl's (KSS), and GoPro (GPRO) over the past few days. Much of meme-stock mania can be attributed to retail investors making moves in stocks with 'undervalued fundamentals', and the rallying of groups around individual personalities. With this in mind, the release of an ad campaign starring actress Sydney Sweeney has been leapt upon by members of online communities on Reddit and X. Though seen in other companies receiving the benefits of online attention, with Opendoor receiving a 140% increase in retail revenue in the past two weeks, it is unclear whether the increase in stock value will see a corresponding increase in revenue for American Eagle. Oil prices rise on trade deal positivity, stockpile reduction Crude oil prices climbed late night Thursday, fueled by hopes for progress in US trade talks and a surprise plunge in American oil stockpiles, easing concerns about global economic slowdown.

Alphabet Stock Looks Poised to Rise After Its Results, Boosted Capital Spending Plan
Shares of Alphabet (GOOGL) look poised for gains today. The Google parent on Wednesday posted better-than-estimated quarterly results, driven by rising cloud and search sales, and announced it would boost AI-fueled capital spending by $10 billion this year. The company's Class A shares, which entered Thursday about flat for the year, were up more than 3% higher in premarket trading. Some analysts turned more positive on the stock after Alphabet's results. Citi analysts raised their price target to $225 from $203—Wall Street's average is above $216, according to Visible Alpha—citing the company's 'improving Search monetization trends.' Investors have been concerned that Google's search business, a core revenue generator, was under threat from the rise of AI. 'To be clear, the broader search market continues to evolve and remains among the most competitive ever as debate on the future of Search continues,' the Citi analysts wrote. The analysts named a list of things they said impressed them from Alphabet's results, including consumers' increasing adoption of Google's large language model Gemini and the expansion of AI Mode, which integrates an AI chatbot tool into search. CEO Sundar Pichai said on the earnings call late Wednesday that AI Mode had reached 100 million monthly active users in the U.S. and India since it was launched in May. The analysts also said they liked the company's 'faster product cycle,' accelerating revenue from cloud operations and the growing demand for its products that led to its plan to spend $85 billion on developing AI this year, up from an earlier target.
