Fairfax County is putting a quantum computer in a high school. Before you celebrate, here is what the machine can and cannot do right now.
While quantum computers still can't break encryption, the companies selling protection from them are already building real businesses. The gap is the opportunity.
QC Design says its Meridian AI cut quantum computing errors tenfold. Plain language version: what was actually measured, and how far we still are.
Scientists keep trying to prove biology is quantum. The real discovery is stranger: the math of quantum physics fits biology even when the physics doesn't.
Chinese researchers extended quantum entanglement lifetime 240-fold at room temperature. No cryogenics required. Here's why that matters and how far we still are.
US water providers are exposed to hackers via stolen credentials. The same week quantum-safe encryption partnerships multiply, the basics remain broken.
Scientists sent quantum information across 100 simultaneous optical paths. No matter was moved. The internet didn't break. Here's why it still matters.
A quantum computer just switched on in Tennessee. Before you believe the press release, here is what the machine actually does and does not do.
A Roblox game is generating levels using a real quantum computer. It is genuinely cool and genuinely misleading, in exactly equal measure.
A Roblox game is generating levels using a real quantum computer. Here is what that actually means, why it matters, and how far we still are from the useful version.
Physicists built a diamond that listens to your heartbeat without touching you. What quantum sensing actually is, and why it matters more than quantum computing right now.
A French startup just ran quantum operations on the same chip format that makes your laptop. That's not a product. It's a proof that the industry's biggest bet might pay off.
Three quantum announcements this week all depend on Nvidia. The field is building faster than it is proving anything works.
NVIDIA is colonizing quantum computing's software layer before anyone has hardware worth running. This is a land grab dressed as a research initiative.
The quantum computing story nobody writes: the boring light-detector company that every quantum lab quietly depends on, and what that tells us about where the field really is.
Quantum sensing is quietly delivering real results in nuclear monitoring and X-ray precision. The quantum computer gets the headlines and remains years away.
Revolut lost customer data to fraudsters using fake government requests. It's the same social engineering problem that quantum cryptography won't actually fix.
New research made quantum operations 1,000 times faster. Here is what that actually means, and how far the useful version still is.
AI-assisted researchers just cut the quantum resources needed to crack Bitcoin encryption by 86%. Here is what that number actually means.
Quantum computers cannot break your encryption yet. That is exactly why you need to start migrating now, and why almost nobody is.
IonQ claims a 20,000-qubit machine could break Bitcoin's encryption in 26 days. The machine does not exist yet. Here is what that actually means.
A Danish startup just set a photon output record. Here's what that actually means, what it doesn't, and why Africa's quantum researchers noticed first.
MIT built a quantum chip component that runs faster without losing its data. It's progress. The useful computer is still years away, and the hype is not helping.
MIT designed a quantum computing component that's faster and more stable. Here's what that actually means, in plain language, and how far away useful is.
Quantum Motion closed a Series C. What silicon spin qubits actually are, what they can do today, and why your bank should care.
The US Army just tested quantum-resistant encryption. Today's computers can't break today's codes. Tomorrow's might. That gap is the business.
A new essay says quantum is both overhyped and underestimated. A lab result in Japan shows why both things are true at the same time.
Xanadu says it will have 1,000 logical qubits by 2031. Here is what that means, what it does not mean, and why it matters anyway.
A French quantum startup nearly doubles on its Nasdaq debut. Here's what that money is actually buying, and what it isn't.
Pasqal doubled on its Nasdaq debut. Canada dropped $195M on Xanadu. Quantum computing is attracting stock-market money for machines that still can't beat a laptop at most tasks.
Canada writes Xanadu a $195M check. Italy voids IBM's quantum contract. New Mexico dangles DARPA match funds. Quantum computing's real product right now is public money.
NASA's $20M quantum gravity sensor contract explains why the most consequential quantum technology isn't a computer at all.
A biologist applies brain-chaos theory to quantum sensors. A game studio uses quantum math to build better worlds. The gap between both and your daily life is smaller than you think.
