NIST has released its final roadmap, NIST IR 8547, for transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) standards, with federal agencies facing binding deadlines to adopt PQC for key establishment by December 31, 2030, and digital signatures by December 31, 2031. Classical public-key algorithms will be deprecated after 2030 and disallowed after…
IonQ has deployed a hybrid quantum-safe security network connecting its facilities in Geneva, Switzerland, and Seoul, South Korea. This network integrates Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) with Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to protect sensitive data against emerging quantum threats. This internal commercial operationalization serves as a blueprint for multinational enterprises and sovereign…
Quantinuum and GE Vernova are collaborating to model high-temperature superconductivity (HTS) using Quantinuum's Helios quantum computer. This partnership aims to overcome limitations of classical simulations by directly executing Fermi–Hubbard simulations, leveraging Quantinuum's quantum hardware and GE Vernova's materials expertise. The research seeks to identify novel HTS materials with industrial applications…
