PostQuantum - Quantum Computing, Quantum Security, PQC

AIX Global Innovations claims FTQC on rented IBM hardware at one physical qubit per logical qubit. Their own paper reveals they operate at code distance 1, which by definition corrects zero errors. Here is what the paper actually says ...

Three extraordinary quantum claims in two weeks, none peer-reviewed, all tied to commercial events. The quantum industry's credibility problem is accelerating, and the people paying the price are the enterprises trying to make real migration decisions ...

ANSSI will stop certifying security products without post-quantum cryptography from 2027. France's de facto procurement gate mirrors the CNSA 2.0 timeline and adds regulatory pressure for vendors across Europe's supply chain ...

The EU's tech sovereignty package names quantum as a strategic priority. But its instruments remain calibrated for research, not for the industrial scaling that sovereignty requires ...

QuEra's Libra targets 256 error-corrected logical qubits and a one-in-a-million error rate on Amazon Braket by 2028. Every building block has been demonstrated in peer-reviewed research. This is either the most credible fault-tolerance roadmap in quantum computing, or the most specific one to miss its ...

Washington ordered two of the most capable AI models offline for every customer on the planet, and it took hours. I keep getting asked why the world wants its own quantum stack. Here is the cleanest answer I have ...

NIST published working drafts that would add ML-DSA and ML-KEM support to the federal Personal Identity Verification standards. The dual-stack approach preserves existing classical credentials while adding PQC key references, certificate containers, and data objects for incremental deployment ...

The PQC migration problem shifted from "how do we prepare?" to "how do we deploy?" between March and June 2026. Version 2.0 of the Applied Quantum PQC Migration Framework responds with the operational depth that no other published methodology provides ...

The world's largest certificate authority has committed to Merkle Tree Certificates as its post-quantum path. With 54% of all public TLS certificates, Let's Encrypt's decision effectively sets the migration timeline for the entire web ...

IonQ's 40-ion trapped-ion device runs nine different error-correcting codes with zero hardware changes and hits breakeven on qLDPC codes — beating the only superconducting comparison by up to 9×. The real story is what this means for the qubit-efficient architectures the field is betting on ...

Atom Computing's toric code demonstration is the first sustained quantum error correction on a neutral-atom platform, running 90 syndrome extraction rounds with continuous atom reloading ...

Daniel J. Bernstein provides the first working attack demos against ML-DSA implementation bugs, recovers equivalent secret keys in under one second, and builds a quantitative case that solo ML-DSA deployment damages security compared to hybrid Ed25519+ML-DSA ...

Europe's largest private quantum round lands at £260M, with 38% from the British Business Bank. The money is earmarked for OQC's TITAN system, but the gap between 32 qubits today and 200 logical qubits by 2028 demands closer examination ...

I don't usually announce advisory roles. This one is different, because making digital assets quantum-safe may be the hardest PQC migration challenge of all ...

Microsoft's second topological quantum chip achieves a 1,000-fold improvement in parity lifetime by swapping aluminum for lead. The engineering progress is real. Whether these are topological qubits at all remains fiercely contested ...
