Q*Bird Launches the Falqon Key Manager to Enable Scalable Quantum Secure Networks
THE SO WHAT
A standalone quantum key manager like Falqon is a sign that “post-quantum” is moving from whitepapers into network architecture. CISOs and infra leads should at least map where key management lives in their stack and which vendors have a quantum-safe roadmap—retrofits will be harder and more expensive later.

Deep & Emerging TechPanasonic to localise US data-centre battery production, CEO says
Panasonic shifting battery cell production to Kansas for data centers by fiscal 2028 is a clear tell—AI infra demand is now reshaping the storage and power supply chain, not just chips. If you operate large-scale compute, treat on-site or near-site storage as a first-class design decision alongside GPUs and networking, not an afterthought.
Deep & Emerging TechNo, EVs haven't overtaken combustion cars in the UK — here's what the latest sales data actually shows
BEVs briefly outpacing petrol in UK sales is a momentum data point, not a regime change—ICE plus hybrids still dominate the installed base and near-term fleet. Auto and infra planners should read this as validation to keep building EV capacity and charging, but not as a signal to abandon hybrid or ICE-adjacent revenue lines yet.
Deep & Emerging TechD-Wave to Receive $1.5 Million Grant through NSF Project
A $1.56M NSF grant to D-Wave is small in dollars but notable in direction—public money is still flowing to both annealing and gate-model approaches rather than picking a single quantum lane. For enterprises, this reinforces the case for “watch and prototype” over big bets: treat quantum as an R&D option, not a production dependency, for the next few cycles.
Deep & Emerging TechThe Trump Administration Doubles Down on Quantum
Two new US executive orders on quantum—one to accelerate computing, sensors, and networks, another to speed migration to post-quantum crypto—turn quantum from lab topic into compliance timeline. CISOs and CTOs should start mapping where current cryptography underpins critical systems and plan staged PQC migrations before these orders translate into sector-specific mandates.
