Collaborate Disseminate
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” This Chinese proverb — often found in fortune cookies — is about motivation, determination and avoiding procrastination. As the new year unfolds and the threat of large-scale quantum computing… Continue reading Your Quantum-Safe Migration Journey Begins with a Single Step
Standards bodies, government organizations and research centers are weighing in on preparing for the threat that quantum computers pose to encryption. The latest from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST): “The race to protect sen… Continue reading Adopting Quantum Cryptography: Why Y2Q Will Be Too Late
Back in July, NIST selected third-round algorithms for its post-quantum cryptography standard.
Recently, Daniel Apon of NIST gave a talk detailing the selection criteria. Interesting stuff.
NOTE: We’re in the process of moving this blog to WordPr… Continue reading More on NIST’s Post-Quantum Cryptography
Quantum computers stand a good chance of changing the face computing, and that goes double for encryption. For encryption methods that rely on the fact that brute-forcing the key takes too long with classical computers, quantum computing seems like its logical nemesis.
For instance, the mathematical problem that lies at …read more

Quantum encryption, which has been touted as “unhackable,” debuts with Samsung, SK Telecom in a world’s first. Continue reading Quantum Security Goes Live with Samsung Galaxy
“The best-kept secret in quantum computing.” That’s what Cambridge Quantum Computing (CQC) CEO Ilyas Khan called Honeywell‘s efforts in building the world’s most powerful quantum computer. In a race where most of the major players are vying for attention, Honeywell has quietly worked on its efforts for the last few years (and under strict NDA’s, […] Continue reading Honeywell says it will soon launch the world’s most powerful quantum computer
Several fields of quantum research have made their transition from research labs into commercial products, accompanied by grandiose claims. Are they as good as they say? We need people like Dr. Sarah Kaiser to independently test those claims, looking for flaws in implementation. At the 2019 Hackaday Superconference she shared …read more

In any normal situation, if you’d read an article that about building your own quantum computer, a fully understandable and natural reaction would be to call it clickbaity poppycock. But an event like the Chaos Communication Congress is anything but a normal situation, and you never know who will show …read more

Quantum computing is almost ready for prime time, and, according to most experts, now is the time to start learning how to best develop for this new and less than intuitive technology. With multiple vendors like D-Wave, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Rigetti offering commercial and open-source hardware solutions, simulators and other tools, there’s already a […] Continue reading QC Ware Forge will give developers access to quantum hardware and simulators across vendors
Here at TechCrunch, we like to think about what’s next, and there are few technologies quite as exotic and futuristic as quantum computing. After what felt like decades of being “almost there,” we now have working quantum computers that are able to run basic algorithms, even if only for a very short time. As those […] Continue reading Quantum computing is coming to TC Sessions: Enterprise on Sept. 5
