What’s Happening in Quantum — and What It Means
A New Paper Claims to Break ML-KEM, Falcon, Hawk, and NTRU. Should You Worry?
A new preprint series claims to break every major lattice-based NIST PQC standard via an improved CDPR attack. The claim has critical technical gaps that the lattice cryptography community will need to resolve ...
IBM’s Concatenated Gross Code Reaches the Teraquop Regime
IBM's QEC team packages 11 logical qubits into a single high-dimensional qudit and wraps the gross code in quantum Reed-Solomon algebra. The result: a fault-tolerant memory that reaches the teraquop regime the gross code couldn't previously access ...
France Answers the US CHIPS Act in 24 Hours, and NVIDIA Is Buying a Seat at Every Table
Macron added €1 billion to France's quantum strategy the day after the US committed $2 billion to quantum fabs. France's total quantum commitment now stands at €3.3 billion, and NVIDIA's investment in Alice & Bob landed the same afternoon ...
Washington Isn’t Funding Quantum Research. It’s Building Quantum Factories.
Washington's $2 billion CHIPS Act quantum package isn't a research program. It's industrial policy — the U.S. is building quantum fabs, and that changes the calculus for everyone tracking the CRQC timeline ...
G7 Central Banks Publish First Quantum Technologies Report for the Financial Sector
Eight G7 central banks have published their first joint quantum report, expanding the conversation beyond PQC migration to address quantum computing applications, sensing risks, and system-level dependencies across the financial sector ...
Jiuzhang 4.0: China’s 1,024-Input Photonic Processor Claims 10⁵⁴ Speedup
Pan Jian-Wei's team published a rigorous Nature paper showing an order-of-magnitude leap in photonic quantum scale. The engineering is impressive. The "quantum supremacy" framing from state media is a different matter entirely ...
NIST Narrows the Field: Nine Post-Quantum Signature Candidates Advance to the Third Round
NIST just narrowed 14 post-quantum signature candidates to nine. The survivors span four distinct mathematical families, from isogeny-based compact signatures to multivariate schemes under active cryptanalytic fire. Here's what each candidate is, why NIST kept it, and what this means for your PQC migration planning ...
India Finalizes Quantum-Safe Roadmap: CII Migration by 2029, Testing Labs by 2026
India's finalized quantum-safe roadmap adds Preferential Market Access mandates, a detailed four-level certification framework, and sector-specific technology guidance. The timelines hold — but the execution gap just got harder to ignore ...
Theorists Prove Passive Quantum Memory Works in Three Dimensions, Settling a 25-Year-Old Question
A Caltech–UCSD team has constructed a 3D quantum system that can store a qubit for exponential time without active error correction. The result settles a question that has resisted the field's best efforts for a quarter century ...
A Viral Paper Claims Lattice-Based PQC Has “Fundamental Limitations” — The Arguments Are Old and the Conclusion Is Wrong
A Seoul National University paper arguing lattice-based cryptography has "fundamental limitations" is generating alarming headlines. The theoretical points are valid but well-known. What the paper actually demonstrates is why PQC migration should accelerate, not stall ...
China’s Hanyuan-2 “Dual-Core” Quantum Computer: Clever Marketing, Missing Benchmarks
CAS Cold Atom Technology's Hanyuan-2 uses two rubidium isotope arrays and calls itself the world's first dual-core quantum computer. The framing is clever. The missing performance data tells a different story ...
Cisco Introduces a Universal Quantum Switch — and It Works at Room Temperature
Cisco’s research prototype can route quantum information across encoding modalities at room temperature on standard telecom fiber ...
IonQ’s Q-Day Claim: What the Earnings Call Actually Said vs. the Panic It’s Feeding
IonQ's CEO told investors the company will reach the logical qubit count to "challenge RSA-2048" by 2028–2029. That's not the same as breaking encryption, and the Q-FUD machine is already running at full speed ...
Project Eleven Publishes 110-Page Quantum Threat Report for Blockchains — Rigorous Analysis Amid a Season of Denial
Two days after pseudoscience was pitched from Bitcoin's biggest stage to deny the quantum threat, Project Eleven published 110 pages of rigorous analysis showing exactly why that denial is dangerous ...
QuantWare Raises $178M Series B — What It Means for Quantum Open Architecture
QuantWare's $178M Series B is the largest private round ever raised by a dedicated quantum processor company. With Intel Capital and IQT on board, the bet is clear: the quantum industry's future is modular, open, and manufactured at scale ...
