Tangible Threat of Cyber-Kinetic Attacks
Connecting physical objects and processes to the cyber world offers us capabilities that exponentially exceed the expectations of science fiction writers and futurists of past generations. But it also introduces disquieting possibilities. Those possibilities reach beyond cyberspace to threaten the…

AI Is Neither the End of Civilization nor the Beginning of Nirvana
Where AI, robots, IoT and the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution are taking us, and how we should prepare for it are some of the hottest topics being discussed today. Perhaps the most striking thing about these discussions is how different…

AI’s Coming Impact on the Economy
Growing reliance on AI will not likely result in any of the three most common views of how AI will affect our future. Each view is founded on assumptions that fail to consider all the realities of AI. That leaves…

AI and The Great Workforce Skill Set Shift
Whether AI and the technologies it enables will reach their full potential depends on the workforce that will work alongside them. Yet the skills that that workforce needs to do this are in short supply. Rather than debating what to…

Three Views of Artificial Intelligence (AI) Future
If you’ve read the many predictions about the future of AI, you’ve likely found them to be wildly different. They range from AI spelling doom for humanity, to AI ushering in Golden Age of peace, harmony and culture, to AI…

AI Uses Today – Far More Than You Might Think
Ask people on the street how much AI uses today affect their lives, and most would probably answer that it doesn’t affect them right now. Some might say that it’s pure science fiction. Others might say that it may affect…

The Future of Privacy in our Smart Living
It is inevitable and important that human society moves towards a smarter way of living. We must use intelligent ways to improve our infrastructure and its dependencies. To do this we have to share our personal information, from direct to…

The Future of Leadership in the Age of AI – Preface
Today’s business leadership face a conundrum. Artificial Intelligence (AI) unquestionably will play an enormous role in the future of their organizations and the business environment in which they operate, but what effects will it have? Prognosticators have wildly different visions…

Capability D.3: Continuous Operation (Long-Duration Stability)
One of the most critical requirements for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) is continuous operation - the ability to run a complex quantum algorithm non-stop for an extended period (on the order of days) without losing quantum coherence or…

Capability D.1: Full Fault-Tolerant Algorithm Integration
Imagine a quantum computer that can execute an entire algorithm start-to-finish with errors actively corrected throughout. Full fault-tolerant algorithm integration is exactly that: the orchestration of all components - stable logical qubits, high-fidelity gates, error-correction cycles, ancilla factories, measurements, and…

Capability D.2: Decoder Performance (Real‑Time Error Correction Processing)
In a fault-tolerant quantum computer, qubits are continuously monitored via stabilizer measurements (producing “syndrome” bits) to detect errors. The decoder is a classical algorithm (running on specialized hardware) that takes this rapid stream of syndrome data and figures out which…

Capability C.2: Magic State Production & Injection (Non-Clifford Gates)
Magic states are an essential “extra ingredient” for universal quantum computing, often metaphorically likened to a magic catalyst enabling otherwise impossible operations. Quantum algorithms require not only robust qubits and error correction, but also a way to perform non-Clifford gates…

Capability C.1: High-Fidelity Logical Clifford Gates
Cryptographically Relevant Quantum Computers (CRQCs) will rely on a suite of core capabilities - and high-fidelity logical Clifford gates are among the most essential. This capability refers to performing the fundamental set of quantum logic operations (the Clifford gates: Pauli…

Capability B.3: Below-Threshold Operation & Scaling
“Below-threshold operation” refers to running a quantum processor at error rates below the critical threshold of a quantum error-correcting code. In simple terms, there is a tipping point in error rates: if each quantum gate and qubit has an error…

Capability B.2: Syndrome Extraction (Error Syndrome Measurement)
Quantum syndrome extraction - also called error syndrome measurement - is the process of measuring collective properties of qubits to detect errors without destroying the encoded quantum information. It is essentially the sensor mechanism of a quantum error-correcting code, analogous…
