Dr. Krishnan Suthanthiran announced plans to establish Kitsault Energy (KE), a proposed energy corridor located north of Prince Rupert, British Columbia, Canada. The project is designed to connect inland energy resources to a dedicated port and terminal at Kitsault, enabling efficient export to international markets. KE aims to facilitate the export of Canada’s abundant crude oil, natural gas liquids, and other key commodities—including potash, uranium, canola, and pulse crops—to Asia and beyond.

The Kitsault site has extensive infrastructure, including housing for up to 1,000 residents and amenities such as a library, recreation options, post office, shopping center, supermarket, bank, restaurants, and a medical clinic. These features make the KE pipelines, port, and terminal project a cost-effective option with relatively low environmental impact.

The scope of the project has since expanded to include construction of a deep-water port at Observatory Inlet. This port would be connected to Kitsault via road and rail and integrated with the Canadian National Railway network, which extends to Port Churchill in northern Manitoba, Canada.

These enhancements would enable both the Observatory Inlet port and Port Churchill to support the export of energy products and other commodities, strengthening Canada’s trade capacity with global markets.

Dr. Suthanthiran feels that Canada and its provinces are losing hundreds of billions of dollars by ignoring this project for the last 13 years. The KE project, with the town of Kitsault and approximately 350 acres of land owned by KE in northwest British Columbia, has tremendous potential to generate tens of billions of dollars for the provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and the federal government of Canada in addition to creating thousands of high-paying jobs and significant investment in First Nation communities for purified drinking water, sewer systems, housing, medical clinics, and jobs and job training.

Dr. Suthanthiran continues to actively promote the development of the KE pipeline and export terminal through ongoing engagement with stakeholders across Canada and Asia. Since early March, he has held in-person meetings with interested parties in Saskatchewan and Alberta, while maintaining ongoing outreach to stakeholders in Canada, India, and China over the past 13 years.

Infidigit, one of India’s leading SEO, GEO, and digital growth companies, has delivered an award-recognised growth outcome for Avataar Skincare, demonstrating how organic search can be engineered as a sustained revenue channel in an AI and LLM-driven search landscape.

The collaboration focused on transforming how Avataar Skincare captured and converted local demand for its dermatologist-led at-home skin treatments, including at-home laser hair removal in Mumbai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Bangalore and ten other Indian cities. Executed between February and August 2025, the initiative repositioned organic search as the brand’s primary booking engine—without reliance on performance advertising.

Operating in a medically sensitive category where trust, precision, and intent matter more than scale, Infidigit moved beyond traditional SEO execution. The team designed a local-to-lead growth framework. It integrated SEO, AI SEO, LLM optimisation, and conversion rate optimisation (CRO) to align visibility directly with revenue outcomes.

City-specific service pages were structured to reflect real-world availability and optimised for discovery across traditional search, AI Overviews, and LLM-powered interfaces. Educational content was intentionally separated from transactional journeys. This approach clarified user intent and significantly improved conversion efficiency.

Execution was powered by Infigrowth, Infidigit’s proprietary AI-driven growth platform, enabling city-level search intelligence, structured optimisation workflows, and continuous performance monitoring. Hence, visibility metrics were directly mapped to user behaviour, bookings, and revenue.

Business Impact

• 183.64% increase in non-brand organic clicks
• 2738.4% growth in organic leads
• 4751% increase in organic revenue
• 4607.69% higher ROI compared to the January 2025 baseline

Measurable improvement in AI-led visibility across AI Overviews and LLM-driven discovery

Conversion optimisation was embedded from day one. Booking journeys were simplified, calls-to-action refined, and trust signals surfaced earlier in the decision path. This increased visibility translated into measurable business impact.

Commenting on the engagement, Kaushal Thakkar, Founder and CEO of Infidigit, said:

“Search is no longer linear. Visibility today spans engines, AI answers, and LLM-driven interfaces. When SEO, LLM optimisation, and conversion design work together, organic search becomes a predictable growth channel, not an experiment.”

Saumya Misra, Founder, Avataar Skincare, added:

“Trust is the ultimate currency in dermatology, and scaling it digitally is challenging. Infidigit helped us build a sustainable, revenue-focused growth engine. Organic search is now a major driver of high-quality leads, and this recognition validates the precision-first approach we adopted.”

The award-winning case study is now being referenced as a benchmark for how brands can adapt to local-first, AI and LLM-assisted discovery. It reinforces Infidigit’s position as a growth partner for businesses aiming to convert organic visibility into long-term revenue.

A scalable quantum error correction system has been developed by QpiAI to enable fast, scalable error correction using a rotated surface code architecture. The decoder, based on a union-find algorithm, is designed to operate in real time alongside superconducting qubits and represents a key step toward practical fault-tolerant quantum computing.

The system implements a distance-5 rotated surface code using 49 physical qubits. Each decoder instance runs on a single QpiAI Kaveri QPU, which provides 64 qubits, allowing one decoder instance per chip. The architecture is optimized to support efficient decoding and integration with existing quantum hardware.

QpiAI Founder and CEO Dr Nagendra suggested, “The design of QpiAI QEC for 64 qubit Kaveri QPU is a promising development towards large scale Quantum computing deployment. With this setup we would like to prove Error correction and reduction in errors possible and eventually lead to fault tolerant Quantum computing. QpiAI FTQC will lead us to many advances in pharmaceutical, chemicals, manufacturing and climate modelling. QpiAI is excited for this to be demoed soon. Further current QEC is capable of being used on transmon qubits. We will be implementing next generation of QEC for QpiAI Qubits (Fluxonium variant) and distributed QEC to be used across QPUs.”

Vamsi Krishna, VP of Digital Hardware, said, “Roadmap for QpiAI QEC would be to develop robust quantum error correction codes and Decoders including qLDPC to optimise on the number of physical qubits and to achieve two logical qubit gates using QEC. While current state-of-the-art QEC decoder for distance 5 surface codes runs at 60 microsecond latency and runs on CPUs and GPUs, we were able to achieve end to end latency of 1.5 microsecond and decoder only latency of less than 1 microsecond. This is very significant latency reduction on a purpose built hardware. This is version 1 of QEC decoder. In next version we will add distance 7 surface code support and qLDPC. As decoder support for various QEC configuration stabilizes we plan to fabricate the QEC processor in advanced process node to reduce footprint and power consumption.”

Dr Manjunath R V, VP and GM for Quantum Hardware, added, “QpiAI Quantum processors have error-correction architecture as foundational design principle with optimised superconducting quantum processor layout and fabrication. Leveraging QpiAI fast-decoder platform with QpiAISense quantum control electronics enables scalable development of quantum processors towards fault-tolerant quantum computing at QpiAI.”

Significant Milestone for Indian National Quantum Mission (NQM)

Indian NQM invested in QpiAI to design 64 qubit Kaveri QPU. NQM has significant Milestone at hand. Dr Abhay Karandikar, Secretary of Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, suggested, “Quantum Error Correction (QEC) is essential for scalable quantum computing. By implementing distance 5 surface code QEC in custom hardware rather than traditional CPUs, QpiAI is accelerating the deployment of its 64-qubit Kaveri QPU in India, marking a major step toward practical, large-scale quantum utility. From National Quantum Mission, we are excited with this development.”

Each error-correction cycle completes in approximately 1.5 microseconds. To account for measurement errors, the system performs five rounds of stabilizer measurements per correction cycle, ensuring robust detection and correction of both qubit and measurement faults.

The qubit coherence times in 64 qubit Kaveri are promising, with T1 times around 100 microseconds and T2 times around 95 microseconds, providing sufficient headroom for multiple error-correction cycles within the coherence window.

At the core of the system is a compact hardware decoder capable of completing decoding for a distance-5 rotated surface code in a maximum of 40 clock cycles. The design is intentionally lightweight and scalable: the current platform can accommodate up to 20 decoders simultaneously, enabling parallel error-correction across multiple logical qubits. Future systems with larger FPGA resources will allow deployment of additional decoders or support for higher-distance surface codes.

Active correction capabilities are currently being implemented to allow real-time correction of qubits on the fly, further reducing accumulated error rates. The decoder already supports Pauli errors and measurement errors, making it suitable for realistic quantum noise environments.

The Kaveri QPU architecture has been specifically designed to be surface-code friendly, with qubit connectivity tailored for efficient stabilizer measurement and decoding. In parallel, additional qubit connectivity architectures are being explored to support more efficient decoding strategies and higher-performance error-correction schemes.

The current setup uses simulated qubits to validate the decoding pipeline and system performance. Integration with physical qubits and experimental results from running the decoder alongside connected qubits in 64 qubit Kaveri QPU are under development.

This development demonstrates a practical pathway toward scalable, hardware-accelerated quantum error correction — a critical requirement for building reliable, large-scale quantum computers.

iQmetrix, the global provider of Interconnected Commerce solutions purpose-built for telecom retail, today announced it has joined TM Forum and earned recognition as an Open Digital Architecture (ODA) Component Directory Partner. The achievement validates that iQmetrix aligns with the ODA vision and that its platform is built around standardized open APIs, modular cloud-native components, and interoperable architecture aligned with how leading operators are building their digital futures.

iQmetrix partners with TM Forum’s ODA Component Directory to accelerate open, future‑ready telecom transformation

The recognition comes as communications service providers (CSPs) accelerate AI adoption and move away from integration-heavy legacy environments. For operators under pressure to reduce technical debt, lower cost, and move faster, architecture standards are no longer a procurement footnote, they are the deciding factor.

What ODA Alignment Means for Operators

As a TM Forum ODA Component Directory Partner, iQmetrix maps platform capabilities directly to defined ODA components. For CSPs, this translates to a concrete operational advantage: interoperable, composable deployment within multi-vendor ecosystems, without the fragile custom integrations that slow transformation and inflate cost.

“Telecom operators have spent years stitching together disconnected systems with fragile glue code and legacy patches,” said Christopher Krywulak, Founder and CEO at iQmetrix. “We took a different approach from day one. Interconnected Commerce is architected as a modular operating layer, not bolted together after the fact. Our ODA alignment confirms that what we’ve built isn’t another silo, it’s infrastructure for modern telecom.”

An AI-Native System of Intelligence for Telecom Retail

iQmetrix Interconnected Commerce is an AI-native telecom commerce platform that acts as a system of intelligence. Rather than layering AI onto legacy complexity, it embeds intelligence directly into commerce workflows, enabling real-time orchestration, improved visibility, and faster decision-making across retail channels, partner ecosystems, and global markets.

The platform connects telcos, retailers, and OEMs into a single coordinated flow, replacing fragmented stacks with a modern operating layer that reduces complexity and lowers total cost of ownership, without requiring operators to rebuild from scratch.

What Sets iQmetrix Apart

“CSPs don’t want another platform that requires heavy integration to prove its value,” added Krywulak. “They want solutions that align with industry standards, deploy cleanly, and scale without baking in new technical debt. That’s exactly what ODA alignment enables, and it’s exactly how we’ve built this.”

By contributing to TM Forum’s ODA framework, iQmetrix positions itself as a partner in advancing a shared, composable software standard for the industry, reducing vendor lock-in, shortening transformation timelines, and giving operators the architectural freedom to evolve.
