How ECC Became the Easiest Quantum Target
Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) will likely fall to quantum computers before RSA does - a cruel irony, since ECC's smaller keys were considered an advantage. Shor's algorithm needs roughly 2,330 logical qubits and 126 billion Toffoli gates to break P-256…

Chokepoints and Industrial Base Realism: What “Quantum Supply Chain Sovereignty” Actually Means
Talk of quantum sovereignty - a nation’s independent control over quantum technology - means little unless backed by tangible supply chain control. Quantum innovation relies on narrow, specialized supply chains that are globally dispersed and often fragile. Major powers have…
