What Is MDI-QKD and Why It Matters Now
Measurement-device-independent QKD eliminates the detector vulnerabilities that have plagued commercial QKD systems. From Dutch ports to Chinese backbones, it is now operational infrastructure, and its twin-field descendant holds the 1,002 km distance record.

Will Magnetic Cooling Replace the Dilution Refrigerator? What the Numbers Say
Adiabatic demagnetization already reaches millikelvin without helium-3. But reaching a temperature and running a quantum computer at that temperature are different problems. I quantify the cooling-power gap and assess when cADR catches up.

Mining the Moon for Helium-3: How It Would Work, What It Would Cost, and Whether the Math Closes
Lunar helium-3 mining is attracting real contracts from real companies. I walk through the physics of why He-3 is on the Moon, how you'd get it out, what the numbers say, and whether any of it survives contact with the…

Helium-3 and Quantum Computing’s Coldest Problem: Physics, Scarcity, and the Moon
Helium-3 sits at the center of the quantum cryogenics debate, and most of what circulates about it is muddled. I separate the irreplaceable physics from the inflated demand, and ask whether the Moon makes any sense.

The CRQC Scorecard: How Close Is Each Quantum Modality to Breaking Your Encryption?
Yesterday, two papers landed that set social media on fire. Google Quantum AI published a landmark resource estimate showing that fewer than 500,000 superconducting qubits could break Bitcoin's elliptic curve cryptography in under nine minutes. Hours later, a team from…

The Leapfrog Doctrine: How China Systematically Conquered Every Technology It Targeted
Almost fifteen years ago, I stood on the mezzanine floor of a manufacturing facility in Dongguan, staring into the dark. Literally. Below me, a sprawling production line hummed with the rhythmic, pneumatic hiss of assembly arms and the whine of…

The Dark Horse: How Silicon Quietly Assembled Every Building Block for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing
The quantum computing modality race has had a clear narrative for most of the past decade. Superconducting qubits were the frontrunners — Google's quantum supremacy demonstration in 2019, IBM's steadily growing processor roadmap, the first below-threshold surface code results in…

The Quantum AI Taxonomy: Seven Things People Mean When They Say “Quantum AI” – and Why Confusing Them Costs Money
"Quantum AI" is not one thing. It spans at least seven distinct categories – from peer-reviewed gains in error correction to outright trading scams – and confusing them leads to bad investment, bad procurement, and bad security decisions. A taxonomy…

The U.S. Intelligence Community Just Put Quantum on Equal Footing with AI. And Expanded the Threat Definition
27 Mar 2026 - Every March, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence publishes a document that most Americans will never read but that quietly shapes trillions of dollars in defense spending, intelligence priorities, and technology policy. The Annual…

Three Bets on Silicon: Donor Qubits, Quantum Dots, and the Foundry Path Compared
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…

Silicon Crosses the Logical Threshold: First Universal Logical Operations Demonstrated in a Silicon Quantum Processor
24 Mar 2026 - In 1998, Bruce Kane published a single-page proposal in Nature that launched an entire subfield of quantum computing. The idea was elegant: use the nuclear spins of individual phosphorus atoms embedded in a silicon crystal as…
