Applied Quantum is the first professional services firm dedicated to quantum technologies across computing, communications, sensing, and simulation. We deliver quantum-focused end-to-end advisory, R&D, and systems integration. On the security front we execute cryptographic inventories and cryptographic bills of materials (CBOMs), build enterprise crypto agility, plan and deliver PQC migrations and hybrid patterns, and design quantum safe networks (including QKD where warranted), with governance and compliance built in. The result is a de-risked path from exploration to business outcomes – without hype or lock in.

The CRQC Scorecard: How Close Is Each Quantum Modality to Breaking Your Encryption?
Yesterday, two papers landed that set social media on fire. Google Quantum AI published a landmark resource estimate showing that fewer than 500,000 superconducting qubits could break Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography in under nine minutes. Hours later, a team from ...
The Dark Horse: How Silicon Quietly Assembled Every Building Block for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
The quantum computing modality race has had a clear narrative for most of the past decade. Superconducting qubits were the frontrunners — Google's quantum supremacy demonstration in 2019, IBM's steadily growing processor roadmap, the first below-threshold surface code results in ...
Three Bets on Silicon: Donor Qubits, Quantum Dots, and the Foundry Path Compared
When people say "silicon quantum computing," they often speak as if it is one thing. It is not. It is at least three distinct approaches, built on the same material but employing different physics, different fabrication methods, and different strategies ...
Science Confirms What Large Corporate Survivors Already Knew – Organizational Bullshit Makes You Worse at Your Job
Regular readers will know that organizational bullshit is a topic I've been fascinated by - and personally scarred by - for years. I wrote about it at length back in 2022, drawing on the foundational academic work by Frankfurt, Spicer, ...
Inside Quantum Computing’s Modular Revolution – Discussion with QuantWare’s CEO Matt Rijlaarsdam
Quantum computing is entering a new phase where scaling up isn’t just about qubit counts - it’s about how those qubits are built and integrated. A recent discussion with QuantWare’s CEO, Matt Rijlaarsdam, shed light on “quantum open architecture” (QOA) ...
China’s Quantum OS Play: Origin Pilot and the Battle for the Integration Layer
China's Origin Pilot isn't just another quantum SDK — it's a top-down systems integration layer that challenges the West's bottom-up approach to quantum open architecture ...
Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co.
Origin Quantum Computing Technology Co. (本源量子计算科技) is China's first and most prominent quantum computing startup, building a vertically integrated superconducting quantum computing platform that spans from chip fabrication through operating system to cloud delivery. Headquartered in Hefei, Anhui Province - ...
No One Has Secretly Broken RSA-2048 or RSA-4096 — Here’s the Science
If someone tells you RSA-2048 or even RSA-4096 has been secretly cracked, they are either lying to you or have been lied to. There is no third option that is consistent with physics, engineering, the observable behavior of governments and ...
Bitcoin’s Quantum Timeline Is Not RSA’s Quantum Timeline
Most quantum-risk-to-Bitcoin analyses rehash RSA-2048 timelines. They're missing the point. Bitcoin doesn't use RSA. It uses 256-bit ECC - and Shor's algorithm will break that first. Scan the quantum computing coverage of Bitcoin and you will find a remarkable pattern ...
