Securing Hardware For The Quantum Era


Key Takeaways: Quantum threats to security are already real. Adversaries are already harvesting data that will be decrypted later by quantum computers. Quantum computers capable of breaking RSA and ECC may arrive as early as next year. Asymmetric encryption algorithms like RSA and ECC will become inadequate against quantum threats, while symmetric encryption (such as AES) is less vul... » read more

Consumer And Med Tech Mushroom As Quantum Closes In


Key Takeaways: Universities and companies are making devices inspired by biology and the human senses to help with health monitoring, semiconductor materials development, human-computer interfaces, and more. When this nascent technology becomes a viable product, government regulations will be needed to ensure consumer safety in tracking or treating their body and the environment. Qua... » read more

Loss Errors in Error-Corrected Circuits Across A Range Of Quantum Hardware Platforms (MIT, Harvard, QuEra)


A new technical paper titled "Leveraging Qubit Loss Detection in Fault-Tolerant Quantum Algorithms" was published by researchers at MIT, Harvard and QuEra Computing. Abstract "Qubit loss errors constitute a dominant source of noise in many quantum hardware systems, particularly in neutral-atom quantum computers. We develop a theoretical framework to effectively detect and correct loss err... » read more

Improving End-to-End Cyber Threat Detection with Quantum Processors Through Hybrid Architecture (Johns Hopkins Univ.)


A new technical paper titled "Cyber Threat Detection Enabled by Quantum Computing" was published by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. Abstract "Threat detection models in cybersecurity must keep up with shifting traffic, strict feature budgets, and noisy hardware, yet even strong classical systems still miss rare or borderline attacks when the data distribution drifts. Small, near-... » read more

Chip Industry Week in Review


Government funding/defunding NIST is terminating funding for the SMART USA Institute, a CHIPS Act research center focused on digital twins, prompting congressional concern that the decision disrupts active awards and weakens U.S. semiconductor R&D commitments. Korea Zinc was awarded $210M in CHIPS Act funding towards a new $6.6B Tennessee advanced smelter and minerals processing facility,... » read more

Multiple QPUs With Slow Interconnects Can Outperform Single QPU Monolithic Architecture (IonQ, Aalto Univ.)


A new technical paper titled "Advantage in distributed quantum computing with slow interconnects" was published by researchers at IonQ Inc. and Aalto University. Abstract "The main bottleneck for distributed quantum computing is the rate at which entanglement is produced between quantum processing units (QPUs). In this work, we prove that multiple QPUs connected through slow interconnects... » read more

Quantum Technologies: Innovation and Investment


Q2B25 Silicon Valley, being held this week in Santa Clara, California, is billed as "The Roadmap to Quantum Value," focusing on practical quantum technologies. This is the eighth consecutive year for the conference. Quantum computing is not typically an area that I cover, although I do have one other previous article, Leaps in Quantum Computing, that I wrote about two years ago that focused ... » read more
