T‑Mobile unveiled “T‑Mix,” a trio of new wireless plans that bundle data allowances with a rotating selection of entertainment and lifestyle subscriptions. Customers receive a set number of “Picks” each month, which can be applied toward services such as Apple TV, Netflix, YouTube Premium, Hulu, Pandora, SiriusXM, Apple Music, ESPN Unlimited, Delta SkyMiles, Paramount+, Xbox Game Pass and partners to be added. The plans allow up to four subscription changes per year without altering the monthly price, and Picks can also cover wireless perks like T‑Satellite, video calls, or a device. Apple TV costs one Pick and will stay available through June 2027; other services require more Picks depending on the plan and line count. The offering launches next month.

Ramdeobaba University and QClairvoyance Quantum Labs to Set Up Quantum Software and…

Ramdeobaba University (RBU) in Nagpur and deep‑tech startup QClairvoyance Quantum Labs have signed an MoU to create two specialised labs on the RBU campus: a quantum software laboratory and a quantum communication hardware laboratory. The software lab will use QClair‑Edu, a browser‑based platform that lets students design, simulate and visualise quantum algorithms without needing local quantum hardware. The hardware lab will house kits for quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum random number generation (QRNG), alongside cybersecurity tools, to demonstrate secure communication applications. QClairvoyance will assign two post‑doctoral‑level professionals to RBU for a year as adjunct faculty, conduct a week‑long faculty development program, and support joint research, internships and industry‑focused workshops. RBU will provide infrastructure and integrate the labs into its curricula, aiming to build practical quantum‑technology skills among students and faculty.

💡 By embedding hands‑on quantum tools in a regional university, the partnership fast‑tracks a skilled talent pipeline for India’s emerging quantum security sector.
