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…

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — The Israel Innovation Authority, in collaboration with the Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D/MAFAT) at the Ministry of Defense, has launched a new call for proposals to establish or provide an advanced research and development infrastructure in the field of integrated photonics. The initiative includes an investment of up […]

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…

Insider Brief Quantum computers have long promised to solve problems beyond the reach of conventional machines. Yet the field has faced a persistent obstacle. The quantum bits, or qubits, that store and process information are extremely fragile. Even minor disturbances from their environment can introduce errors that accumulate and overwhelm a calculation before it finishes. […]

Guest Post by Komala S Madineedi Every new compute paradigm eventually gets measured against the data center playbook. Not because data centers represent the endpoint of computing, but because they represent one of the most successful examples of compute industrialization. Over decades, computing evolved from individual hardware components into layered systems of infrastructure, platforms, ecosys…

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…

Insider Brief The cryptocurrency industry should stop debating exactly when quantum computers will become a threat and start preparing for their eventual arrival, according to a new report commissioned by Coinbase and prepared by a group of leading experts in quantum computing, cryptography and blockchain technology. The report concludes that large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers capable …

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 …

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…
