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 order 10 billion quops.

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 should check their sources.

China’s Neutral-Atom Sprint: Three Generations in Nine Months — But Where Are the Benchmarks?
China's CAS-linked neutral-atom ecosystem unveiled three quantum computer systems in nine months, each in a smaller package than the last. The iteration speed on form factor has no Western counterpart. Not one system has published peer-reviewed performance data.

QuiX Quantum Announces Carina, Claiming the First Universal Photonic Quantum Computer Built for Customer Deployment
QuiX has delivered Carina's core hardware to DLR QCI and published a white paper written largely in the future tense. The engineering is serious; the universality, priority, and qubit-count claims all need qualifiers.

Shanghai Bets on Neutral Atoms with Dual Quantum Hubs
Shanghai launched two quantum computing hubs in a single week, both targeting neutral-atom quantum computing. The move validates two things I have been arguing for months: China's 15th Five-Year Plan is implementing fast, and neutral atoms are the modality to watch.

Five Tests for Genuine Quantum Advantage, From Huang, Choi, McClean, and Preskill
Four leading theorists publish a framework separating genuine quantum advantages from illusions, plus a proof that some advantages cannot be predicted classically. The claim that fares best under their five tests is Shor's algorithm, the one that breaks RSA.
