Post-Quantum, PQC, Quantum Security
Two QFT Records in Four Months. Neither Gets You Closer to Breaking RSA.
Two compilation teams claimed the largest quantum Fourier transform ever run, four months apart, on the same IBM chip. Their circuits and metrics are not comparable, and the gate counts explain why.

Quantum Careers in 2026 (No PhD Required)
An updated map of quantum careers: what each role involves day to day, who hires for it, what employers screen for, and how to judge whether a specialization will still exist in ten years.

DARPA’s Most Rigorous Quantum Evaluation Is Led by Its Least Proven Contenders
Neither Stage C company has publicly demonstrated a logical qubit on the architecture DARPA is evaluating. One may not have demonstrated a physical qubit. That outcome tells you more about the program's design than about the technology.

Every Quantum Vendor Measures Progress Differently. That’s the Point.
Quantum vendors report different measures of scale, fidelity, throughput, and logical performance. Each number may be valid, but together they do not form a common scoreboard. Here is why that matters.

I Spent a Year Writing About Europe’s Quantum Failures. Now I’m Moving My Company There.
I've spent the past year documenting Europe's quantum commercialization gap. Now I'm moving Applied Quantum's headquarters from Singapore to the EU. The contradiction is only apparent.

Quantum Computers Are “Always Five Years Away.” The Targets Are Not.
A new philosophical paper explains why quantum-computing timelines keep resetting. The PFYT framework names a real pattern, but it confuses an unsettled architecture with an undefined target.

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.

Quantum Washing: The Quantum Industry’s Credibility Tax
Greenwashing had a decade-long head start and its own SEC enforcement playbook before the quantum industry caught up. Quantum washing is following the same arc, faster, because the underlying science is harder for outsiders to evaluate.
