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 Border Around Quantum: Export Controls, Deemed Exports, and “Research as a Controlled Flow”
Export controls have emerged as a main lever to throttle or channel the flow of quantum know-how and equipment, effectively drawing new borders through the global R&D ecosystem. Quantum sovereignty, in other words, isn’t just about spending more on R&D; ...
Marin’s Law on Crypto-Agility: Adaptability Determines Survivability
Thesis: Migration time to safer cryptography is inversely proportional to an organization’s crypto-agility. Formally: Let A denote an organization’s crypto-agility (0 ≤ A ≤ 1) and Y the wall-clock time required to replace a cryptographic primitive across all in-scope systems ...
Why “They’ve Only Factored 15” Is the Wrong Way to Judge Quantum Computing
Early Shor demos were proofs of control, not the real scoreboard. The path to a cryptographically relevant quantum computer runs through error correction, logical qubits, and fault tolerance - not through a neat sequence of ever-larger classroom factorizations. One of ...
How You, Too, Can Predict Q-Day (Without the Hype)
For three decades, Q-Day has been “just a few years away.” I want to show you how to make your own informed prediction on when Q-Day will arrive. Counting physical qubits by itself is misleading. To break RSA you need ...
CRQC Readiness Benchmark vs. Quantum Threat Tracker (QTT)
I will try and compare my proposed CRQC Readiness Benchmark with QTT, highlighting fundamental differences in methodology, assumptions, and philosophy, all in an effort to clarify how each approach informs our understanding of the looming “Q-Day.” The goal is to ...
The Trouble with Quantum Computing and Q-Day Predictions
The trouble with quantum computing predictions so far has been that too many have been more speculation than science, more influenced by bias than by balanced analysis. We have the tools and knowledge to do better. By embracing a data-driven, ...
Quantum Threat Tracker (QTT) Review Praising the Tool Questioning the Demo
The Quantum Threat Tracker (QTT) is a newly released open-source tool by Cambridge Consultants and the University of Edinburgh that aims to forecast when quantum computers will break today’s encryption. It combines quantum resource estimation (using optimized variants of Shor’s ...
Quantum Tech and Espionage: What Every Researcher Must Know
To the untrained eye, espionage against scientists can be nearly invisible - it blends into everyday academic or business activity. But certain red flags and tactics surface again and again. Below is a consolidated list of common espionage methods (many ...
Quantum Sensing and AI for Drone and Nano-Drone Detection
Quantum sensing technologies are emerging as powerful tools to detect and track UASs, including small and nano-drones that often evade conventional sensors. These quantum sensors, such as quantum radars, quantum LiDARs, atomic magnetometers, and Rydberg RF detectors, exploit phenomena like ...
