Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) for an Open RAN-Based Telecom RAN

Based on anonymized results of a project, I will try to illustrate key parts of a comprehensive Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) for a telecom Radio Access Network (RAN) implementation based on the Open RAN architecture. I enumerate all cryptographic ...

Quantum Computing Modalities: Superconducting Qubits

Superconducting qubits are quantum bits formed by tiny superconducting electric circuits, typically based on the Josephson junction – a sandwich of two superconductors separated by a thin insulator which allows tunneling of Cooper pairs. When cooled to extremely low temperatures ...

Quantum Baloney Detection Toolkit

Quantum physics is famously weird and fascinating. Its principles (like superposition and entanglement) defy everyday intuition, which gives quantum technology an almost magical aura. Unfortunately, that same mystique attracts a lot of baloney. From overhyped press releases to outright scams ...

Quantum Computing Modalities: Holonomic (Geometric Phase) QC

Holonomic quantum computing (also known as geometric quantum computing) is a paradigm that uses geometric phase effects to perform quantum logic operations. In a holonomic gate, the quantum state is manipulated by adiabatically (or sometimes non-adiabatically) moving the system’s parameters ...

AI Oasis: AI’s Role in Saudi Vision 2030

It seems everyone is talking about artificial intelligence (AI). Everyone. From senior executives to school kids, the hype - or dread - around this technology seems to be growing by the day. Much of this excitement, of course, has to ...

Quantum Computing Modalities: Photonic QC

Photonic quantum computing uses particles of light – photons – as qubits. Typically, the qubit is encoded in some degree of freedom of a single photon, such as its polarization (horizontal = |0⟩, vertical = |1⟩), or its presence/absence in ...

A Deep Dive Into the ‘Rags to Riches’ Manual for Withdrawing Illicit-Origin Crypto

Annualized data from blockchain forensics provider Chainalysis indicates that crypto-enabled crime has dropped precipitously through the first half of 2023, but cybercriminals are also continuously evolving new cash-out methods to cover their tracks. Chainalysis’s mid-year update found that crypto inflows ...

Quantum Computing Modalities: Trapped-Ion QC

Trapped-ion quantum computing uses individual ions (charged atoms) as qubits. Each ion’s internal quantum state (usually two hyperfine levels of the atom’s electron configuration) serves as |0⟩ and |1⟩. Ions are held in place (suspended in free space) using electromagnetic ...

Quantum Computing Modalities: Adiabatic Topological QC (ATQC)

Adiabatic Topological Quantum Computing (ATQC) is a hybrid paradigm that combines adiabatic quantum computing with topological quantum computing. In essence, ATQC uses slow, continuous changes in a quantum system’s Hamiltonian (an adiabatic evolution) to perform computations, while encoding information in ...
