PostQuantum - Quantum Computing, Quantum Security, PQC

The EU is funding a four-year consortium to certify quantum key distribution for industrial use, even as its own cybersecurity agencies urge organizations to prioritize post-quantum cryptography. The tension is instructive ...

The company that said 2033 ten months ago now says 2029. With Google and Cloudflare already committed, three of the internet's most consequential infrastructure providers have converged on the same post-quantum deadline ...

The IETF has standardized ML-KEM, ML-DSA, and SLH-DSA for OpenPGP, with hybrid-only lattice cryptography and a v4 compatibility carve-out. The bigger story is the implementation split that decides whether any of it interoperates ...

The EU officially launched the European Quantum Academy with €19.8 million, 70 partner institutions, and targets to train 600 quantum professionals. The ambition is right. The numbers deserve scrutiny ...

NIST is investing $20 million to establish a Quantum Manufacturing Engineering Center with SRI International, moving from the consortium that mapped the quantum industry to a center tasked with manufacturing at scale ...

OMB delivered the federal PQC migration playbook in two days, not ninety. The five-phase timeline, the algorithm choices, and what it means for agencies and contractors ...

Released a day after two quantum executive orders, the Pentagon's first PQC strategy covers the National Security Systems that EO 14412 carves out. The same 2030 and 2031 dates appear in both, but they don't mean the same thing ...

The World Economic Forum placed two quantum-related entries on its 2026 Top 10 list. The coverage of PQC and quantum simulation carries factual errors and framing choices that weaken both entries ...

Forescout's internet-wide scan of 160 million SSH hosts finds PQC-capable servers growing fast but still covering barely 12% of the total. OT and medical devices trail far behind, with no asset class on track for full migration by 2029 ...

Signed 22 June 2026, the order gives federal high-value assets until the end of 2030 for key establishment and the end of 2031 for signatures, and reaches contractors through a FAR rule due in December ...

Executive Order launches a national effort to build the first quantum computer capable of transformative scientific discovery, directs three quantum sensor projects for fielding by September 2028, and orders an updated National Quantum Strategy within 180 days ...

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 ...
