A superconducting quantum computer is part of a network that is mining an experimental cryptocurrency called Quip, and it is able to do it faster and with better energy efficiency than conventional machines

Hello Dev.to! 👋 I'm the architect of an experimental post-quantum VPN protocol called QCRA (Quantum-Chess Routing Architecture). It’s written entirely in Rust (250K+ lines, 46 passing test suites). Today, I’m open-sourcing the protocol specification along with a Cryptographic Open Challenge for anyone who wants to try and break the math. 🚨 The Threat: AI-Driven Traffic Analysis The standard appro…

The UK keeps producing world-class technology, then watches many of its companies scale in America. Rory Daniels, Head of Emerging Technology and Innovation at techUK, joins Thinking on Paper to discuss whether the United Kingdom can remain competitive as quantum computing, robotics, photonics, AI and advanced computing begin to converge. The UK has strong research […]

Artificial intelligence has long sought to mirror human intelligence through computational models of perception, learning, and reasoning. In parallel, cognitive science has shown that human judgment frequently deviates from classical logic and probability theory. This research-in-progress investigates how quantum-probabilistic models can be implemented as quantum circuits and examines the stabili…

In recent years substantial advances have been made in engineering and scaling up quantum computing resources such that there is a growing awareness of this technology in non-technical fields. However, due to the complexity of the subject, it is not readily accessible to organizations that have not already made a commitment. Numerous uncertainties remain on the ways in which quantum computing wil…

As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and online services continue to grow, the demand for faster and more energy-efficient computer hardware is rising rapidly. Now, researchers in Japan have developed a new type of magnetic memory that can be rewritten using a single pulse of laser light instead of electric current, potentially paving the way for […] The post Scientists use a single flash…

Diraq has announced the appointment of longtime semiconductor executive Scott A. McGregor as its new Chairman of the Board of Directors. McGregor—former CEO and President of Broadcom and Philips Semiconductors (now NXP), and lead developer of Microsoft Windows 1.0—brings vital CMOS technology scale-up experience to Diraq's silicon-based quantum roadmap. He succeeds the Hon. William Jeffrey, [...…

Dutch-German hardware developer QuiX Quantum has announced its membership in QuantumBW and Photonics BW, two prominent innovation networks driving technology transfer and industrial scaling within the state of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The expansion builds directly upon QuiX Quantum’s existing cross-border presence, which includes a dedicated engineering office at the ARENA2036 research campus …

Cybersecurity and IoT holding entity WISeKey International Holding Ltd has finalized a commercial agreement between its operational subsidiaries, SEALSQ Corp and WISeSat.Space Corp., to co-develop and deploy the Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC). Positioned as a subscription-based managed cloud platform for banking institutions, national defense agencies, and enterprise clients, the QSOC progr…

Post-quantum semiconductor developer SEALSQ Corp and its parent company WISeKey International Holding Ltd have detailed engineering and deployment milestones for their Quantum Spatial Orbital Cloud (QSOC) platform. The space-based infrastructure architecture is designed to configure low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites as independent, tamper-resistant computing nodes delivering post-quantum cryptogra…

United States venture capital firm Alumni Ventures has completed an investment in Yaqumo Inc., a Tokyo-based startup developing neutral-atom quantum computing hardware. Configured as a seed extension financing round, the transaction represents Alumni Ventures’ first capital allocation inside Japan since its institutional founding. The financial placement was co-executed through the firm's North A…

By Doug Finke When I was a junior mainframe computer engineer at IBM, management constantly drilled one core concept into us: RAS: Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability. This principle remains just as vital today as it was back then. The quantum computing landscape is evolving rapidly as these machines transition from laboratory prototypes to commercial production. [...] The post What Ch…

IBM Quantum researchers have introduced ffsim, an open-source Python library engineered for the high-performance classical simulation of quantum circuits that model fermions—the fundamental particles constituting atoms, molecules, and condensed matter. Detailed in a technical preprint deposited on the arXiv repository, the library was developed to supply the quantum information community with fas…

Microsoft and trapped-ion hardware developer Quantinuum have published a peer-reviewed paper in the journal Nature detailing physical implementations of quantum error correction (QEC). The paper, titled “Improved quantum processor logical error rates via correction and detection,” presents experimental data collected using Microsoft’s qubit-virtualization platform executed on Quantinuum’s trapped…

Swedish DeepTech startup Arkeon Technologies has closed a 6.5 million SEK (€594.2k) ($691K USD) Seed funding round to advance its proprietary post-fabrication precision engineering solutions for the superconducting quantum computing sector. The investment round was backed by a coalition of institutional tech investors, including Chalmers Ventures, Navigare Ventures, and Almi Invest. Founded in 20…

Scientists have uploaded a viral genome to a quantum computer, marking an important step for the future of quantum-enabled advancements in biology.

Scientists at RIKEN have proposed a new way to make quantum systems synchronize in only one direction—like a one-way street for sound particles known as phonons. The breakthrough combines two quantum effects to create a form of one-way quantum synchronization that remains surprisingly stable even when exposed to manufacturing flaws and environmental noise, two major obstacles that have long hinde…

constructive mathematics, realizability, computability propositions as types, proofs as programs, computational trinitarianism The “ZX-calculus” is an elaboration for the purpose of qbit-based quantum computation of the string diagram-calculus used in quantum information theory via dagger-compact categories. The basic idea is to formalize the co-existence of the ubiquitous pair of measurement bas…
