120,000 Tasks: Why Post‑Quantum (PQC) Migration Is Enormous
When I tell fellow CISOs, board members, or even seasoned program managers that the integrated program plan for a comprehensive quantum security / post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration I recently worked on contained over 120,000 discrete tasks, the reaction is almost…

No, the “Pinnacle Architecture” Is Not Bringing Q-Day Closer 2-5 Years (but It Is Credible Research)
Since the preprint paper of The Pinnacle Architecture preprint hit and its Quantum Insider coverage ran, my phone has been ringing off the hook. The question behind most of those calls is simple: does this mean RSA is suddenly in imminent trouble? Is…

Quantum Open Architecture (QOA) & Quantum Systems Integration: From Monoliths to Modular Quantum Computing
Today's quantum computers are monoliths — a single vendor designs the chip, builds the control electronics, writes the software, and operates the cloud platform. The customer gets a black box. This is exactly where classical computing was in the 1960s,…

Silicon Catches Its First Errors
29 Jan 2026 - Quantum error correction is the wall that separates toy quantum computers from useful ones. Every qubit platform must eventually climb it. The first step up that wall is not correcting errors — that requires mid-circuit measurement…

Silicon’s Hidden Advantage: How Biased Noise Could Slash the Cost of Quantum Error Correction
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…
