Quantum computing has a trust problem. When a quantum machine produces an answer no ordinary computer can feasibly produce, there is no obvious way to tell whether the answer is right.

Taiwanese IC design startup Jmem Tek showcased its in-house physical unclonable function (PUF) and post-quantum cryptography (PQC) hardware security technologies at SEMICON Taiwan 2026, as it pushes to build a hardware root of trust at the chip level for next-generation AI and smart devices facing quantum-era cybersecurity threats.

Researchers co-design engineered semiconductors and metasurfaces to build powerful optical device. The post New Device Design Could Miniaturize Photonics, Quantum Technologies appeared first on Semiconductor Digest .

New Zealand agencies face a looming threat as current encryption won’t withstand future quantum computers, according to a 2022 US law.

Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up for the week ending September 5, 2026 tracks factories, racks, and post-quantum links moving at the same time. Pasqal signed a multi-year quantum-safe research pact with KACST in Riyadh. Canada put CAD $195 million behind Xanadu’s Inception photonics plant. IBM published Nighthawk r2 at 120 qubits and more than 100,000 circuits per second. Diraq reserved an Equin…

The field of silicon photonics, which uses light rather than electricity to transmit and process data on semiconductor chips, has enabled optical systems to evolve from bulky setups to compact, advanced systems. Typically, however, these silicon-photonics chips are rigid and opaque. MIT scientists have now figured out a scalable way to make silicon-photonics chips flexible […]

A study published in the journal Nature Photonics revealed new insights about the behavior of materials while potentially paving the way for better sensing technologies.

D-Wave has spent 26 years building one type of quantum computer. This week it told a Taipei audience why it started building another.

Extracting the energy spectrum of a superconducting transmon qubit requires time-consuming microwave spectroscopy that must be repeated following every thermal cycle or parameter drift event. We introduce the Physics-Informed Path-Transformed (PaTH) Transformer, a surrogate model trained exclusively on resistively-shunted Josephson junction (RCSJ) numerical simulations, which predicts the five lo…

This role involves operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting advanced cryogenic and RF systems for quantum processors at customer sites worldwide. The engineer will perform cooldowns, diagnose faults in dilution refrigerators, validate RF hardware, and manage vacuum and helium systems in a production-like research en...
