Two of tonight’s seven headlines hit the same beat: quantum computing. Hitachi is teaming with Intel and AIST on silicon-spin qubits with a 1,000-qubit fault-tolerant prototype targeted for FY2030, while MIT Tech Review’s profile of PsiQuantum notes the photonic upstart’s audacious 1,000,000-qubit promise — bold on paper, opaque on details, with a test facility due by end of 2027. Then there’s hardware that’s decidedly nearer term: a Tokyo University flexible multimodal sensor that reads light and strain in a single device, ready to be tiled into stretchable e-skin for healthcare or robots. On the dev-tools side, GIGAZINE spotlights VHS, a free recorder that turns scripted terminal sessions into clean animated GIFs; Zenn leans the other way — one post-mortem unpacks a real React2Shell compromise found in an abandoned Kubernetes cluster that the author never bothered to retire, and another reframes Domain-Driven Design as an AI-era process problem rather than a modeling one. Rounding it out, Wonder Festival 2026 [Summer] brought a 1/4-scale Reze/Bomb statue worth photographing.

• 光とひずみを検知できるフレキシブルセンサー開発、東京大 (EE Times Japan 最新記事一覧) (In Japanese Language)
  The University of Tokyo has developed a flexible multimodal sensor that detects both light intensity and mechanical strain (stretching) in a single device. When tiled into an array, the sensor is intended for stretchable electronics applications such as healthcare wearables and robotic electronic skin.

• 日立とインテル、産総研でシリコン量子コンピュータ研究開発 (EE Times Japan 最新記事一覧) (In Japanese Language)
  Hitachi announced in July 2026 that it will collaborate with Intel and Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) on silicon quantum computer R&D. The goal is a prototype fault-tolerant silicon quantum computer with roughly 1,000 qubits, targeted for completion in fiscal year 2030.

• レゼの1/4スケールスタチューがワンフェス2026[夏]の会場に登場 (GIGAZINE) (In Japanese Language)
  A 1/4-scale Reze/Bomb statue was on display at the Wonder Festival 2026 [Summer] venue, and GIGAZINE photographed it on site. The feed summary is truncated — full coverage is on the linked page.

• 無料でターミナルセッションをアニメーションGIFに変換できる「VHS」 (GIGAZINE) (In Japanese Language)
  VHS is a free tool that produces clean, shareable animated GIFs and videos of terminal sessions without manual screen-recording cleanup. You write keypresses and wait times as a script file; VHS then executes the steps and records the result, eliminating the retake-and-edit loop you get with desktop capture.

• 光に賭けたサイクオンタム、 100万量子ビット達成へ 「大胆な約束」は果たせるか (MITテクノロジーレビュー) (In Japanese Language)
  Founded in 2016 by prominent researchers, PsiQuantum is betting that photon-based hardware will let it build the world’s first practically useful quantum computer. The company has been vague on engineering details and only commits to having a test facility "operational" by the end of 2027; whether that translates into real-world impact remains an open question.

• 放置していた旧環境で見つけたReact2Shell攻撃の実態 (Zennのトレンド) (In Japanese Language)
  The author runs a home Kubernetes cluster alongside game servers and several web apps. An older Kubernetes environment was left exposed to the internet after workloads migrated, with no dependency updates and no monitoring — and it became a de facto honeypot, surfacing a real React2Shell intrusion. The post is a first-person post-mortem of what was found and what it cost.

• ドメイン駆動設計から、ドメイン駆動開発プロセスの時代へ (Zennのトレンド) (In Japanese Language)
  With AI-driven development automating more of the actual coding work, the bottleneck is shifting to the development process itself — who decides what, when, with what accountability, in what release order. The author argues Domain-Driven Design needs to be reframed as a process discipline (Domain-Driven Development Process), not just a modeling exercise.
