Allianz Quantum Risk Report Gets the Capital Thesis Right and the Cryptanalysis Wrong
Allianz Research published a technically serious quantum risk assessment for finance. Its capital-flow analysis is unusually effective. Its cryptanalytic chart and threat model need corrections that matter for anyone using it to plan.

First External Operators Apply to Chrome’s Post-Quantum Certificate Test Program
TrustAsia filed the first known CA application for Chrome's Merkle Tree Certificate test root store. The filing implements two recently standardized mechanisms from the IETF PLANTS draft, adding concrete evidence that post-quantum web PKI infrastructure is moving from draft to…

Mitten Codes Put 195 Logical Qubits in 975 Physical Qubits, Complete with Fault-Tolerant Processor Design
Caltech and Oratomic introduce mitten codes, a family of 20%-rate qLDPC processor codes. In simulations, a [[540, 108, 18]] block produced two failures across 15 billion surgery quops at 0.1% physical error rate, consistent with an expected processing capacity of…

DARPA’s Most Rigorous Quantum Evaluation Is Led by Its Least Proven Contenders
Neither Stage C company has publicly demonstrated a logical qubit on the architecture DARPA is evaluating. One may not have demonstrated a physical qubit. That outcome tells you more about the program's design than about the technology.

Every Quantum Vendor Measures Progress Differently. That’s the Point.
Quantum vendors report different measures of scale, fidelity, throughput, and logical performance. Each number may be valid, but together they do not form a common scoreboard. Here is why that matters.

HKMA Gives Hong Kong Banks a 2.3 Out of 10 on Quantum Readiness, Targets Full Migration by 2030
HKMA's first Quantum Preparedness Index scores Hong Kong's banking sector PQC readiness at 2.3 out of 10. Most respondents remain at an early stage, while the regulator targets full sectoral readiness by 2030.

AI Governance Is Repeating Cybersecurity’s Mistakes
Cybersecurity never eliminated conflicts over testing, disclosure, and oversight. It built mechanisms to expose and manage them. July's AI evaluation failures show which of those mechanisms frontier labs still lack.

I Spent a Year Writing About Europe’s Quantum Failures. Now I’m Moving My Company There.
I've spent the past year documenting Europe's quantum commercialization gap. Now I'm moving Applied Quantum's headquarters from Singapore to the EU. The contradiction is only apparent.

87% of Organizations Are Pursuing PQC. Only 7% Have Deployed It.
DigiCert's second annual PQC survey finds at-scale certificate deployment barely moved in a year. The barrier profile now points to execution, not awareness, and that tells us more than the headline number.

Quantum Computers Are “Always Five Years Away.” The Targets Are Not.
A new philosophical paper explains why quantum-computing timelines keep resetting. The PFYT framework names a real pattern, but it confuses an unsettled architecture with an undefined target.

HRL Built a Silicon Quantum Processor That Controls Itself Inside the Cryostat. IBM Agreed to Buy the Lab.
HRL Laboratories put a quantum processor, its controller, and a superconducting cable inside a single cryostat. The system ran error correction by itself. Eight days later, IBM announced it was buying HRL.

Economist Quantum Article: Best in Media, Still Wrong
The Economist's July 2026 quantum primer is the best mainstream coverage I've seen. I still found errors on how quantum computing works, what Shor's algorithm threatens, and which data sources deserve trust. If even The Economist gets this wrong, everyone…
