NIS2, DORA, and the EU Post-Quantum Roadmap
If you are a CISO under NIS2 or DORA, you are already expected to run a risk-management system that tracks material, evolving threats - and to implement “state‑of‑the‑art” controls appropriate to the risk. The EU’s PQC roadmap is effectively saying: quantum…

What It Takes to Build a Quantum Computer: Mapping the Hidden Supply Chains Behind Every Modality
A map of the hidden supply chains behind every major quantum computing modality — and a guide to where value, risk, and strategic leverage actually sit. The headlines go to the companies designing quantum processors, but behind every qubit sits…

The Complete US Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Regulatory Framework in 2026
Three pillars anchor the US PQC framework: the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness Act (federal law that no executive order can undo), NSM-10's 2035 migration target (still in force), and NIST's finalized FIPS standards (published August 2024). The Trump administration's June…

The Foundry’s Hidden Supply Chain: Who Really Wins If Silicon Spin Quantum Computing Wins
In September 2025, a team from the Australian startup Diraq and Belgium's imec published a result in Nature that no one in the semiconductor industry could ignore. They had fabricated silicon quantum dot spin qubits on imec's industrial 300-millimeter wafer…

China’s Zuchongzhi 3.2 Crosses the Error Correction Threshold – and Takes a Different Path Than Google to Get There
30 Dec 2026 - Exactly one year after Google's Willow became the first quantum processor to operate below the surface code threshold, China's USTC has matched the feat - and done it without the extra hardware that Google required. Researchers…

No Single Law, No Single Excuse: How Canada Regulates PQC Without Saying “Quantum”
Canada's visible PQC guidance - three documents published mid-2025 - is just the tip. Beneath it sits a layered enforcement framework spanning financial regulation, critical infrastructure law, privacy obligations, and securities disclosure that collectively creates binding pressure for quantum readiness.…

Japan Sets 2035 as Its PQC Migration Target, Aligning With Allies While Running a QKD Parallel Track
Japan's NCO interim report sets 2035 as the migration target for government PQC transition. The alignment with the US and EU is deliberate, but Japan's dual-track approach combining PQC with its substantial QKD investment adds a dimension absent from Western…

Eleven Qubits, Two Registers, One Processor: Silicon Quantum Computing Links Atomic-Scale Nodes With Record Fidelity
21 Dec 2025 - Every scalable quantum computing architecture faces the same fundamental problem: individual qubits are small, but quantum computers are not just collections of individual qubits. They are networks. And the performance of a network depends not only…

QuantWare’s “10,000‑qubit chip” headline: a real scaling bet – and why it still doesn’t mean Q‑Day
Dutch startup QuantWare has announced VIO-40K™, a new 3D packaging architecture designed to build superconducting quantum processors with up to 10,000 qubits on a single device. This represents roughly a 100× increase over the scale of today’s largest superconducting chips.…
