Europe Is Rewriting Its Quantum Roadmaps and Asking for Comments
Six draft roadmaps will guide European quantum funding to 2035, and comments close August 16. My team read every page. The strongest sovereignty doctrine, a missing PQC workstream, and a KPI demanding autarky.

EY Installed a Quantum Computer in Toronto. Nobody Will Say What It Is.
The regulation behind Europe's €30 billion AI Gigafactories also rewired the EU's quantum strategy. The institutional convergence has consequences that the AI headlines buried.

AI Hacking Theater and the Crypto-Agility Wake-Up Call
OpenAI and Anthropic spent two weeks one-upping each other's AI hacking disclosures. Buried beneath the competitive theater are three developments CISOs can no longer ignore, and the defense for all three is the same.

Pure ML-KEM for TLS 1.3 Reaches IETF Last Call
The IESG is taking final comments on standalone ML-KEM key establishment for TLS 1.3 until August 13, after three Working Group Last Calls, a contested consensus determination, and a chairs' refusal to release the numbers behind it.

The Last Unregulated Forecast: Why We Still Pay the Oracle
Croesus paid Delphi before crossing the Halys. Boards pay for value-at-stake slides before funding quantum programs. The need for a number is ancient and human. The exemption from audit is new, and it costs us.

AI Can Hack Everything? Do the Math First
Everyone is selling protection from AI hackers. Almost nobody is asking whether AI attacks can actually scale, or whether the answer was sitting in their security budget the whole time.

AI Broke a NIST Candidate. Not Your Encryption
Claude Mythos Preview recovered HAWK-256 challenge keys and improved a 13-year-old reduced-round AES result. ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA, Falcon, and production AES are untouched. The real shift is the cost of finding flaws.

Why the OpenAI Breach Matters for Quantum Strategy
Everyone is covering the OpenAI/Hugging Face breach as an AI scare. The real lesson is in the forensics: US models blocked defenders, a Chinese model did the job, and the same flawed control logic governs quantum.

Fidelity in Quantum Computing: The Nines That Decide Q-Day
The best single-qubit gate now fails once in 6.7 million operations. The best two-qubit gates fail a thousand times more often. That gap, counted in nines, sets the pace of fault tolerance and every serious Q-Day estimate.

SoftBank and Quantinuum’s Use-Case Timeline Puts Chemical Accuracy in the 2030s
A vendor roadmap that reads more conservatively than the press release wrapped around it. The error-corrected circuit lost to the unencoded baseline, and chemical accuracy waits for hardware nobody has built.

Why Europe Is Industrialising CV-QKD
QUARTERNEXT places CV-QKD at the centre of one European industrialisation track. EuroQCI remains deliberately multi-protocol. The real story is how telecom integration, certification, and supply-chain control shape the portfolio.
