Cisco launches Quantum Entanglement Chip and research lab
Cisco has announced the development of quantum networking technology that lays the foundation for the quantum internet, potentially bringing practical quantum computing forward by decades, accelerating the timeline for real-world quantum computing and networking applications to just 5 - 10 years. As part of this initiative, Cisco has introduced its Quantum Network Entanglement Chip, a research prototype designed to scale quantum networks and interconnect quantum processors for meaningful, practical use. The company also announced the launch of the Cisco Quantum Labs, a dedicated research facility in Santa Monica, California, where Cisco's quantum scientists and engineers are developing next-generation quantum networking technologies. Mohannad Abuissa, Director of Solutions Engineering at Cisco Middle East, Africa, Türkiye, Romania, and CIS, commented: 'Quantum computing holds the promise to solve problems that are beyond the reach of even today's most powerful supercomputers. With our Quantum Network Entanglement Chip and the launch of Cisco Quantum Labs, we are laying the groundwork for scalable, real-world quantum networks. This is not just about preparing for the future, it's about enabling breakthroughs in security, communication, and computing that can begin delivering value today.' The Quantum Network Entanglement Chip Developed in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara, Cisco's Quantum Network Entanglement Chip is a research prototype that generates pairs of entangled photons, enabling instantaneous connection regardless of distance through quantum teleportation. Key differentiators of the chip include: • Works with existing infrastructure: Operates at standard telecom wavelengths and can therefore leverage existing fiber optic infrastructure • Practical deployment: Functions at room temperature as a miniaturized Photonic Integrated Chip (PIC), making it suitable for scalable system deployment today • Energy efficiency: Consumes less than 1mW of power • High performance: 1 million high-fidelity entanglement pairs per output channel, with a rate of up to 200 million entanglement pairs per second in chip Much like classical computing evolved by connecting smaller nodes into distributed data centers, the future of quantum will follow a similar trajectory. Rather than focusing on a single monolithic quantum computer, companies building quantum processors will benefit from Cisco's quantum networking technologies to scale their systems. By building this infrastructure now, Cisco is helping to accelerate the entire quantum ecosystem. From Lab to Reality The Cisco Quantum Labs facility in Santa Monica will serve as a facility where Cisco researchers can experiment with quantum networking solutions that bridge both theoretical concepts and practical implementation. Beyond the entanglement chip, Cisco is using the lab to advance research prototypes of other critical components to meet their vision of the quantum networking stack, including entanglement distribution protocols, a distributed quantum computing compiler, Quantum Network Development Kit (QNDK), and a Quantum Random Number Generator (QRNG) using quantum vacuum noise. In parallel, Cisco is implementing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) NIST standards across their portfolio, ensuring classical networks remain secure in a post-quantum world. Advancing Quantum Networking in Two Strategic Directions Cisco's quantum networking roadmap follows two strategic paths: • Quantum Network for the Quantum World: Cisco is building infrastructure to connect quantum processors at scale, enabling distributed quantum computing, quantum sensing, and optimization algorithms that could transform critical applications such as drug discovery, materials science, and complex logistics problems. Their quantum network entanglement chip is foundational to this vision. • Quantum Network for the Classical World: While practical quantum computing problems might be a few years away, quantum networking principles offer immediate benefits to classical systems through use cases such as eavesdropper-proof secure communication, ultra-precise time synchronization, decision signaling, and secure location verification.

Tesla road rage driver's new arrest a ‘foreseeable consequence,' California victims say
Local victims of Nathaniel Radimak, the Tesla driver convicted of assaulting women in a series of road rage cases, are calling his early prison release a 'failure' after he allegedly attacked another driver – this time in Hawaii. Radimak, 38, was arraigned Thursday in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he pleaded not guilty. According to police, on May 8, an 18-year-old woman was parking her car with her 35-year-old mother in the passenger seat when a gray Tesla sped past them. Words were exchanged, and the man allegedly assaulted both women before fleeing in the Tesla. Radimak, who was arrested the following day, faces charges of misdemeanor assault and unauthorized entry into a motor vehicle. Bail was set at $100,000. 'When justice is not done, the public is endangered,' said prominent victims' rights attorney Gloria Allred at news conference in Los Angeles on Friday that included several of Radimak's previous victims. 'He goes to Hawaii, and then all of this happens … yes, absolutely, failure of the system.' In 2023, Radimak was sentenced to five years in prison for attacking SoCal motorists with a metal pole in multiple incidents, two of which were captured on video. He was released 212 days early for good behavior, a decision Allred and her clients criticized at the time. 'I believe [the Hawaii] incidents were a foreseeable consequence of a system that repeatedly failed to address his pattern of violence and his pattern of behavior,' said Vivian Romero, one of Radimak's prior victims. Allred claims former District Attorney George Gascon did not consult with her or the victims before the plea agreement, and they were not given the opportunity to speak at Radimak's sentencing, allegedly violating Marsy's Law. Marsy's Law, named after UC Santa Barbara student Marsy Nicholas, who was murdered by her ex-boyfriend in 1983, was approved by California voters in 2008. It ensures victims and their families are involved in each step of the criminal justice process. California road rage driver assaulted behind bars following Hawaii arrest 'It is sickening that Nathaniel Radimak, after being released from prison early, has appeared to violate his parole,' said Beth Lamprecht, another victim. 'There was every reason to doubt any chance of reform for this repeat offender. His return to violence underscores that he has not been willing to control his actions.' Radimak's Hawaii case took an unusual twist when he was beaten by fellow inmates on May 12 while awaiting arraignment on the new charges. He suffered injuries to his face and torso and required hospitalization. 'I personally, as a lawyer, cannot say that vigilante justice should be inflicted, even if the actual justice system has failed the victims,' Allred remarked. 'Now, people may feel differently, but that's my statement as a lawyer.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

UCLA vows to brush off Game 1 Super Regional loss to South Carolina
The streak is over, but not the season. UCLA softball's run of six consecutive victories in Super Regional games dating back to 2021 ended emphatically with a 9-2 loss to South Carolina in Game 1 of the Columbia Super Regional at Beckham Field. Advertisement 'The opponent did a better job of executing the game plan today,' UCLA head coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said. 'The best part about postseason is it's a best two out of three. We look forward to getting back out there tomorrow.' South Carolina (44-15) tagged UCLA (52-11) starting pitcher Kaitlyn Terry with five runs in the first two innings and added two apiece in the fifth and sixth off reliever Addisen Fisher. Read more: UCLA softball defeats UC Santa Barbara to advance to NCAA Super Regionals Catcher Lexi Winters opened the scoring by the thinnest of margins, hitting a two-run home run off the top of the wall. After Brooke Blankenship's RBI single tacked on one more run in the first, South Carolina star slugger Arianna Rodi delivered a two-run single in the second inning to knock Terry from the circle. South Carolina scored seven of its nine runs in the game with two outs, following on a streak of 11 consecutive two-out runs to end last week's regional. Advertisement 'Patience and short, compact swings,' Inouye-Perez said when asked about the key to South Carolina's offense. 'At the end of the day, I think it's more about they did a great job of executing vs. us not being able to do what we do.' UCLA put two runs back in the fourth off RBI hits by Alexis Ramirez and Sofia Mujica, knocking South Carolina starter Jori Heard from the game. Heard retired 26 of 27 batters she faced in the regional, but the Bruins finally created some pressure and forced South Carolina head coach Ashley Chastain Woodard to go to her bullpen. 'Credit to them making good pitches,' Ramirez said. 'But I do believe that we were having good at-bats, quality at-bats, putting good swings on pitches that we were prepared to hit, so it's just staying within ourselves and sticking to our plan.' Reliever Sam Gress escaped the fourth inning, but allowed back-to-back singles leading off the fifth. Those hits brought UCLA's slugging duo of Jordan Woolery to the plate one swing away from tying the game, but Gress shut down the rally. She struck out both power hitters and induced a foul pop-up from Rylee Slimp, stranding both runners and ending UCLA's last big chance to get back in the game. Advertisement 'I know for them it was big to be able to get past that,' Inouye-Perez said. 'But for us, we have great faith in the hitters that are behind them, and I think that's what we're going to need for postseason is we're not relying on just any one [hitter].' Abigail Knight delivered the big blow off Fisher with a two-run double in the fifth, and the Gamecocks nearly ended the afternoon early on the run rule with the winning run reaching scoring position in the sixth. South Carolina has only allowed four total runs through four NCAA Tournament games, and Gress only allowed one hit over the final two innings to carry South Carolina to its first Super Regional victory in program history. Read more: Bombs away: UCLA's Jordan Woolery, Megan Grant are a power duo unlike any other This is just the fourth time in 15 Super Regional appearances UCLA has lost game one of the series. In all three instances UCLA at least won Game 2 and rallied to win the series during the past two appearances. UCLA took the final two games from Virginia Tech in 2021 and advanced to the Women's College World Series after losing Game 1 at Oregon in 2016, the only time the program has been in this situation away from home. Advertisement 'We have a saying that you can only live in one time zone,' Inouye-Perez said. 'The past is as old as dirt and has no control over tomorrow. We have to be where our feet are. The plan was to come out and win two ballgames, and that plan hasn't changed.' Game 2 of the series is scheduled for 10 a.m. PDT on Saturday and will air on ESPN.
