What’s Happening in Quantum — and What It Means
87% of Organizations Are Pursuing PQC. Only 7% Have Deployed It.
DigiCert's second annual PQC survey finds at-scale certificate deployment barely moved in a year. The barrier profile now points to execution, not awareness, and that tells us more than the headline number ...
HRL Built a Silicon Quantum Processor That Controls Itself Inside the Cryostat. IBM Agreed to Buy the Lab.
HRL Laboratories put a quantum processor, its controller, and a superconducting cable inside a single cryostat. The system ran error correction by itself. Eight days later, IBM announced it was buying HRL ...
MAS Targets Quantum Resilience for FIs by End of Decade
Singapore's central bank will issue supervisory expectations with progressive milestones for financial institutions' quantum-safe migration. The stated aim: quantum resilience before the end of this decade ...
Economist Quantum Article: Best in Media, Still Wrong
The Economist's July 2026 quantum primer is the best mainstream coverage I've seen. I still found errors on how quantum computing works, what Shor's algorithm threatens, and which data sources deserve trust. If even The Economist gets this wrong, everyone should check their sources ...
IBM Declares a “Quantum Advantage Era.” The Three Papers Make Different Claims.
IBM coordinated three quantum advantage announcements. The validation advances are real, but the papers make materially different claims ...
Neutral-Atom Roadmap Charts a Path to Quantum Utility
A multi-institutional roadmap for neutral-atom quantum computing puts cryptanalysis on its convergence chart. Here is what the data and the assumptions actually show ...
EY Installed a Quantum Computer in Toronto. Nobody Will Say What It Is.
The regulation behind Europe's €30 billion AI Gigafactories also rewired the EU's quantum strategy. The institutional convergence has consequences that the AI headlines buried ...
Europe’s Biggest AI Sovereignty Bet Had a Quantum Strategy Buried Inside It
The regulation behind Europe's €30 billion AI Gigafactories also rewired the EU's quantum strategy. The institutional convergence has consequences that the AI headlines buried ...
Pure ML-KEM for TLS 1.3 Reaches IETF Last Call
The IESG is taking final comments on standalone ML-KEM key establishment for TLS 1.3 until August 13, after three Working Group Last Calls, a contested consensus determination, and a chairs' refusal to release the numbers behind it ...
AI Broke a NIST Candidate. Not Your Encryption
Claude Mythos Preview recovered HAWK-256 challenge keys and improved a 13-year-old reduced-round AES result. ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, Falcon, and production AES are untouched. The real shift is the cost of finding flaws ...
Bitcoin’s Institutions Take On the Quantum Security Bill
Nine institutions pledged $15 million over three years for Bitcoin security, with quantum readiness the first workstream. Galaxy separately announced up to $5 million in developer grants for post-quantum work ...
SAXON Q’s 128-Qubit Diamond Quantum Computer: Real Fabrication Advance, Misleading Qubit Count
SAXON Q opened orders for a 128-qubit room-temperature diamond quantum computer. The disclosed architecture uses sixteen separate eight-qubit cores with no published inter-core entanglement. The peer-reviewed fabrication advance is real ...
ECC Attack Circuit Drops to 835 Logical Qubits
The same Tsinghua-Peking group whose April preprint reached 1,333 qubits for a 256-bit ECC attack has pushed to 835, the lowest yet. The circuit is narrower, but the gate count is 20 times higher than the leading alternative. Smaller machine, longer run ...
China’s Neutral-Atom Sprint: Three Generations in Nine Months — But Where Are the Benchmarks?
China's CAS-linked neutral-atom ecosystem unveiled three quantum computer systems in nine months, each in a smaller package than the last. The iteration speed on form factor has no Western counterpart. Not one system has published peer-reviewed performance data ...
QuiX Quantum Announces Carina, Claiming the First Universal Photonic Quantum Computer Built for Customer Deployment
QuiX has delivered Carina's core hardware to DLR QCI and published a white paper written largely in the future tense. The engineering is serious; the universality, priority, and qubit-count claims all need qualifiers ...
White House Quantum Summit Operationalizes June EOs
The White House convened nearly 100 government officials, quantum company executives, and researchers on July 7 to translate June's twin quantum executive orders into coordinated action, with a 2028 fault-tolerant computing target and 2030 PQC migration deadline anchoring the agenda ...
Shanghai Bets on Neutral Atoms with Dual Quantum Hubs
Shanghai launched two quantum computing hubs in a single week, both targeting neutral-atom quantum computing. The move validates two things I have been arguing for months: China's 15th Five-Year Plan is implementing fast, and neutral atoms are the modality to watch ...
FINMA Quantum Guidance Puts a Mid-2027 Date on Swiss PQC Roadmaps
Switzerland's financial regulator surveyed 60 institutions and found 72% with no quantum-safe measures. Its answer: board-level PQC strategies, roadmaps by mid-2027, and crypto-agility written into outsourcing contracts ...
