This week's show dives straight into safety and equipment maker Halma (HLMA), which reported its full-year results on Thursday morning. It may be time to re-evaluate the company's description as one of the FTSE 100's least newsworthy businesses – it has been reaping the rewards of the AI boom. But with increased interest comes heightened expectations, and perhaps this is why its shares tumbled by 15 per cent on the day of the results. Mark Robinson digs into the details on whether this ‘quality stock' is more volatile than it once was.We then turn to big pharma giant GSK (GSK). The drugmaker made its largest deal in over a decade earlier this week with the acquisition of US cancer biotech Nuvalent.

In Episode 142, Yuping Huang, CEO and Chairman of Quantum Computing Inc and Physics Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology, joins Patrick and Ciprian to make the case for photonics, not just as a modality, but as a philosophy. QCI's approach starts with the physics rather than mapping quantum onto classical architecture, leading to machines that look nothing like what most people expect a quantum computer to look like. Yuping walks through the deceptively hard problem of deterministically generating entangled photon pairs, why you don't need a million entangled photons to build something useful, and why QCI operates entirely at room temperature, if it can't fit in a backpack, it won't end up in users' hands. The conversation closes on Neural Wave, a hybrid photonic-digital system that offloads computation into the optical domain and cuts AI energy consumption by orders of magnitude.

How do you design financial infrastructure that keeps running when the unexpected hits, whether that is a regional outage, a regulatory shift, or a sudden spike in digital demand? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Katsutoshi Itoh from Sony and Masahisa Kawashima from NTT, both representing the IOWN Global Forum, to unpack how photonics-based networks could change the foundations of digital finance. Speaking with me from Kyoto, they share how the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network vision is moving beyond theory and into practical, finance-specific use cases. Financial institutions are under constant pressure to deliver uninterrupted services while meeting ever tighter compliance standards. Yet as we discuss, many existing architectures still rely on asynchronous data replication and layered resilience added after the fact. On paper, it works. In a real disruption, gaps quickly appear. Itoh and Kawashima explain how synchronous replication over ultra-low latency optical networks can reduce the risk of data loss while simplifying disaster recovery and lowering operational complexity. We also explore the role of Open All-Photonic Networks and why reducing packet forwarding layers can dramatically cut latency and infrastructure costs. Instead of concentrating compute and storage in dense urban data centers, photonics enables distributed computing across regions while maintaining deterministic performance. That shift opens the door to improved resilience, better infrastructure utilization, and new approaches to scaling without constant over-provisioning. Sustainability sits alongside resilience in this conversation. Rather than treating energy efficiency as a compromise, the IOWN vision distributes power demand geographically, making better use of locally available renewable energy and reducing concentrated load pressures. It is a subtle but important rethink of how infrastructure supports broader societal goals. Looking ahead, we consider what this could mean for digital banking platforms, AI-driven risk management, and cross-border financial services. If infrastructure limitations fall away, institutions can design services around business needs rather than technical constraints. If you are curious about how photonics could underpin the next generation of financial services, this episode offers a grounded and thoughtful perspective. As always, I would love to hear your thoughts after listening.

A major new European initiative, Photonics for Quantum (P4Q), will launch in 2026 across twelve countries, marking a decisive step in Europe's effort to accelerate quantum technology development and manufacturing. In Ireland, P4Q is hosted at Tyndall National Institute (based at University College Cork), and is co-funded by the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Skills (DFHERIS), reflecting the strategic national priority to build sovereign capability in advanced semiconductors and quantum technologies. Coordinated by the University of Twente (NL), P4Q brings together Europe's leading research institutes, semiconductor foundries, and deep-tech companies. The consortium's mission is to create the manufacturing ecosystem Europe needs to produce high-quality quantum photonic chips at scale, a critical capability as the global race for quantum accelerates. Photonic chips are a key quantum technology, enabling breakthroughs in quantum sensing, communication, and computing. The major challenge today is scale: future quantum systems will require large numbers of high-quality photonic chips, produced reliably and in high volumes. Ireland's Contribution to Advanced Quantum Packaging, Supported by DFHERIS As a key partner in P4Q, Tyndall will contribute its specialist expertise in advanced packaging of quantum photonic chips, a critical component in the development of scalable quantum systems. Tyndall's work will focus on one of the major challenges in quantum technology: packaging chips designed to operate at ultralow (cryogenic) temperatures. These processes must deliver extreme precision and performance, while also being scalable for high-volume production as quantum markets emerge. DFHERIS Minister James Lawless welcomes the news: "My Department is deeply committed to advancing quantum technologies, because this is an area with enormous potential to strengthen our economy and make a real difference in people's lives. Last year, I signed the Quantum Pact, an important step toward positioning Europe as the 'quantum valley' of the world. Progress in quantum hardware depends on strong partnerships, and collaboration like this is essential for developing cutting-edge technologies and building secure, reliable supply chains. I am delighted to see Tyndall contributing to such a high-calibre consortium. Their leadership reflects our national strategic ambitions and continues to elevate Ireland's reputation in quantum innovation." A SiN chip for a quantum photonics application being tested Professor William Scanlon, CEO, Tyndall, said: "We are proud to be playing a leading role in P4Q, which represents an important milestone for Europe's quantum and semiconductor ambitions. Advancing the packaging of quantum photonic chips is essential for building a scalable manufacturing base in Europe. This partnership reinforces Ireland's leadership in quantum and enabling technologies innovation and supports our national strategy to grow a resilient, future-focused semiconductor ecosystem." Commenting on the announcement, Professor Peter O'Brien, Head of Photonics Packaging, Tyndall, said: "P4Q provides Ireland with a unique opportunity to lead the development of advanced packaging technologies for quantum devices. With our state-of-the-art infrastructure and unique expertise, Ireland is exceptionally well-positioned to stay at the forefront of quantum research and industrialisation, fully aligned with our national semiconductor strategy." Recent commentary has highlighted the strategic importance of building strong indigenous semiconductor capability to secure Ireland's long-term economic and technological resilience. P4Q is a targeted response to that national need, placing Ireland's expertise at the centre of a high-impact European quantum manufacturing ecosystem. The P4Q partners include Tyndall National Institute, University of Twente (coordinator), AIT, Aluvia, AMIRES, AQT, C2N, CEA-Leti, Delft Networks, ICFO,...

What if the most powerful climate intervention isn't policy, but precision?Deep Dhillon sits down with Ryan Sullivan of Bridger Photonics to unpack how AI, physics, and aerial sensing are being used to hunt down methane leaks that can cost operators dearly and accelerate climate impact. Ryan explains how methane detection has matured over the past decade, and why Bridger's approach (laser-based lidar tuned to methane) can identify the specific valve, tank, or piece of equipment responsible.They walk through the full pipeline: scanning swaths over infrastructure, reconstructing plumes from point-cloud data, applying supervised learning trained on ~15 years of labeled leak history, and then having expert analysts validate results with tooling that overlays plume density, wind conditions, and site geography. Then the two zoom out to the uncomfortable questions, like why Bridger refuses to play watchdog, how trust and data ownership shape the market, and what the “north star” looks like; near-real-time detection, autonomous flight patterns, and predictive maintenance that catches failures before they happen.Learn more about Ryan here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sullivar/and Bridger Photonics here: https://www.bridgerphotonics.com/Check out some of our related content here: 3 Million Gallons Vanished?

In this podcast episode, MRS Bulletin's Sophia Chen interviews Victor Lopez-Richard from Federal University of São Carlos in Brazil about his memory device called a mem-emitter. Unlike a memresistor (short for “memory resistor”), which made of materials whose electrical resistance can be tuned, the mem-emitter is used to tune optical properties. Experimentally, Lopez-Richard's research group made the device out of molybdenum diselenide, which is a transition metal dichalcogenide, that was then layered onto a dielectric known as a clinochlore. The researchers found that they were able to tune the intensity of the light emitted according to theoretical predictions. This work was published in a recent issue of Nano Letters.

But it wasn't the procedures that shook him—it was the broken system behind them. He saw how medicine often overlooked the root cause of cellular dysfunction from toxicity and nutrient deficiency.So he made a shift. A big one.Now, Ryan's all about color, not just metaphorically, but biochemically. Specifically, carotenoids. These colorful compounds found in everything from blueberries to marigolds are key to measuring cellular health, immune resilience, and long-term vitality. Ryan walks us through how his team has done over 28 million non-invasive antioxidant scans, what those results mean, and why 99% of people are nutritionally starving at the cellular level.In this episode, Ryan and I dive into how stress alters physiology, why mindset matters as much as minerals, and what it means to radically own your health. You'll also learn why humans should pay attention to how plants use color as a survival strategy.“ When we measure people's carotenoid antioxidant status, which we've done 28 million tests, 99% of people don't measure up. 99% of the population is starving at the cellular level.” ~ Ryan EncinasAbout Ryan Encinas:Ryan Encinas is a former surgical nurse turned metabolic health strategist and the co-founder of Holistic Hub.

In this conversation, Amit shares insights into how Excelitas utilizes AI to enhance its photonic technologies, the impact of generative AI on productivity and cybersecurity, and the future of enterprise AI.Quick hits from Amit:On AI opportunities in cybersecurity: “I want my cybersecurity vendors to use AI because the bad guys are going to and already are using AI to be more effective in their outcomes. I want them [Cybersecurity Vendors] to make sure they are using AI to reduce the complexity in the fragmented nature of how cybersecurity is done today.”On the importance of data strategy when leveraging AI: “There's a golden principle in the IT world - Garbage in, garbage out. No matter how good the technology is, if you're feeding garbage to that technology, it's going to spit out garbage. Hallucination is the word people use. What it means to an individual in an enterprise, boils down to the input is not good enough, hence, you're going to have output, which is not good enough."On the potential of generative AI in the enterprise: “You will be using AI without you knowing you are actually using AI within a corporation. It will be embedded into your data structure where it might be cleaning the data. It will help you execute your business processes faster. Being able to distribute your documents and other data to your employees, your customers, your vendors, and your partners, in a much more secure and efficient manner.Recent Book Recommendation: Good to Great by Jim Collins--Like what you hear?
