Branthwaite signs long-term deal with Everton
Liverpool: Jarrad Branthwaite has committed his long-term future to Everton by signing a new five-year contract with the Club until the end of June 2030. The England international, who turned 23 last week, joined the Blues from hometown club Carlisle United in January 2020 and, following loan spells at Blackburn Rovers and PSV Eindhoven, has been a key part of the Toffees' defence for the past two seasons. Speaking to evertontv after putting pen to paper on a new long-term deal, Branthwaite said, 'I'm over the moon. It's been something we've been talking about since the end of the season and to get it signed now is something I'm really excited about. 'The trust the Club's put in me and how many games I've played over the past two seasons has made it quite an easy decision for me to stay and to keep progressing as a formed part of Everton's backline that has ended each of the past two Premier League campaigns with the fourth-best defensive record in England's top flight. He was voted the Club's Players' Player of the Season and Young Player of the Season following a breakthrough campaign for the Men's Senior Team in 2023/24, and reclaimed the Young Player of the Season accolade last term with 89 per cent of the fan vote. 'I know the Club. I feel loved by the players – we've got a good group here – and the fans. Over the past few years, I've seen the impact the fans have on us as a team and how much it means to them. And, obviously, with the new stadium we've got here, the new ownership and the new manager, it's an exciting project and it's something I want to be part of. 'Moving to the new stadium together and having that first game at home is something we're all looking forward to. We want to go again and push for a good season," he added.

On quantum technology, India has much to do. Global partnerships hold the key
Written by Arun Teja Polcumpally On February 19, Microsoft unveiled Majorana 1, a quantum chip built on a novel state of matter known as topological conductors. CEO Satya Nadella remarked that the development of a fully functional quantum computer is now a matter of years, not decades. Much like the post-AlphaGo AI boom of 2016, quantum technology is poised to reshape global markets, security regimes, and digital governance. For India, this fast-paced technological shift raises a strategic question: How should it position itself as a key global player in quantum technology? The global quantum market value is estimated to be $ 100 billion by 2040, while the global quantum communication market size is predicted to be approximately $ 13.12 billion by 2034, expanding at a CAGR of 28.25 per cent from 2025 to 2034. Already, Volkswagen uses D Wave quantum computers in Spain for traffic route optimisation, and China has built a 1000-km quantum encrypted communication channel using Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and post-quantum cryptography. Additionally, quantum technology is dependent on global supply chains of cryogenic systems, specialised lasers, and advanced quantum chip fabrication facilities, which are concentrated among a few countries like the US and China. This also shows the globally restrictive development of quantum technology. Countries that take the lead in developing quantum computers and encryption standards will gain a first-mover advantage, enabling them to shape global technology norms. These dynamics underscore India's urgent need to engage more proactively in the global quantum landscape. India launched the National Quantum Mission with a budget of $735 million in 2023, encouraging research and innovation in quantum computing, communication, sensing and materials. However, the scale of private sector investment in quantum technology reveals the nascent stage India is in. Private investment stands at US$30 million, significantly lagging behind the United States ($ 6940 million), Australia ($ 661 million), and South Korea ($ 95.5 million). India is also dependent on raw materials like indium and lacks dedicated fabrication units. A 2025 report by NITI Aayog noted that export restrictions are tightening around key components essential for quantum development. Simultaneously, the Quad Investors Network highlights India's shortage of skilled quantum engineers as a critical barrier to ecosystem growth. While India has 53 quantum-related startups (compared to China's 63), only 2.63 per cent of domestic quantum research receives industry funding, while 16.8 per cent remains entirely devoid of funding. This reflects deep structural gaps in talent, investment, and secure access to upstream supply chains. Current collaborative efforts are limited where the partnership between Infosys and QuintessenceLabs in quantum cybersecurity integrates the hybrid quantum encryption into the enterprise solutions of Infosys. While such partnerships are promising, they remain narrow in scope. What's needed is a structured, multilevel partnership, anchored in India's strategic interests. The Office of the Principal Scientific Advisor has advocated for a comprehensive ecosystem mapping, covering investments and supply chain dynamics, to identify collaboration opportunities and vulnerability points. While developing a requirement mapping, India should leverage the initiatives like the 'Quantum Entanglement Exchange', enabling Indian scholars to access advanced American quantum facilities, contributing diverse perspectives to research programmes. This exchange programme will also benefit the India-US TRUST (Transforming the Relationship Utilising Strategic Technology) initiative. Beyond bilateral cooperation, India should push for inclusion in industry-led international quantum standardisation bodies. As quantum communication and encryption systems proliferate, early engagement in setting interoperability norms will help India to quickly develop and deploy quantum technology applications. Startups must also be part of this multi-level collaboration. Cross-border startup ecosystems could address entrepreneurship gaps through structured collaboration. Initiatives like the India-United States Defence Acceleration Ecosystem (INDUS X) could be undertaken to encourage the quantum innovation ecosystem. Such initiatives could also be trilateral between the US, India and South Korea, as a part of their trilateral technology dialogue. It would be beneficial if the premier incubation centres like the Telangana Hub (T-Hub) in India, the Seoul Startup Hub in South Korea, and the Convergence Accelerator in the US, come together offering joint funding and incubation programs to quantum startups. Overall, two contrasting approaches dominate quantum development. The first is the China model where its National Natural Science Foundation coordinates research across all quantum domains, outpacing the US's National Science Foundation by 2:1 in published studies. The other approach is that of the US, fostering entrepreneurial innovation through 300 quantum startups — nearly five times China's 63. India occupies a middle position with 53 quantum startups and $735 million allocated through the National Quantum Mission. This approach requires a push from the government and the industry. Since quantum technology development is still in the pre-market competition phase, India should actively engage with like-minded countries to secure its position within technology anchored geopolitics.

5 AI tricks in Windows 11 Photos app will change how you edit photos forever
Every day while working on my articles, I have to deal with a lot of images; cropping them, removing text, changing backgrounds and much more. I used to rely on separate online tools for each of these tasks until I started using a Copilot+ PC. Now, all of these tasks can be done using the Windows default Photos app, which is amazing. So, here is everything you can do in the Microsoft Photos app. Want to remove an object in the image spoiling the shot? Use the Generative erase feature to remove it without damaging the image. It uses smart algorithms to identify and remove unwanted objects from the image. To use it, open your photo, click Edit image, then select the Erase tool. Just brush over the object you want gone, and the AI does the rest, making your photo look like it was never there. You can now save the image or create a new copy Removing background is a frustrating task if you are using an online tool because there are very less free tools online. Microsoft eased up on this task by adding a background removal tool in the Photos app. Simply open your photo, go to Edit image, and choose Background Remove. The app instantly separates the subject, letting you customise or export it however you like. This tool works best with images which have only one object. Sometimes you want to grab text from an image, like a screenshot of a recipe or a sign and paste it into your notes. The Text Extractor tool uses AI to recognise and highlight text in your photos, making it easy to copy without typing it out manually. Open the image and click the text extractor tool, which is an icon with three horizontal lines at the bottom centre of the Photos app. It will highlight the text which can be copied, just select the text and paste it anywhere. Now this is a great feature, the Relight tool lets you adjust the lighting in your picture by adding virtual light sources. You can change their position, colour and brightness to create different moods or fix uneven lighting. To try it, open your photo, click Edit image, and pick the Relight tool. Move the light points around and tweak settings until your photo looks just right. Then you will be able to save the image with the tweaked lighting. Finding a photo in a huge collection can be a pain, but Windows 11's Photos app lets you search using simple phrases like 'beach sunset' or 'birthday party.' The AI understands your description and pulls up matching images, no need to remember file names or dates. Just open the Windows Photos app and type your phrase in the search bar. The app does the AI thing and presents you with the images best matching your query.
