ZeroTier has officially launched ZeroTier Quantum, an end-to-end quantum-secure networking platform designed to protect high-speed data center and distributed infrastructure. Announced at RSAC 2026, the platform is the first software-defined networking solution to provide a full cryptographic stack that meets the NSA’s CNSA 2.0 standards. The initiative addresses the "harvest now, decrypt later" threat by securing data transmissions against future decryption by cryptanalytically relevant quantum computers. ZeroTier Quantum is engineered for on-wire performance, supporting high-throughput environments such as AI clouds and large-scale data replication with minimal latency. At the technical core of the platform is the ZeroTier Transport Protocol (ZTP), a [...]

The National Reconstruction Fund Corporation (NRFC) has invested $20 million AUD ($14 million USD) in Silicon Quantum Computing (SQC) to accelerate Australia’s sovereign semiconductor and quantum manufacturing capabilities. This investment is part of a larger funding round intended to scale SQC’s proprietary atomic-scale manufacturing process and anchor a globally competitive quantum industry in Sydney. The move aligns with Australia’s National Quantum Strategy, which projects that the domestic quantum sector could reach a valuation of $6 billion and support approximately 19,400 jobs by 2045. SQC utilizes a unique "bottom-up" fabrication approach known as PAQMan™ (Precision Atom Qubit Manufacturing), which allows for the [...]

ANELLO Photonics and Q-CTRL have announced a strategic collaboration to develop a multi-layered Quantum Navigation Solution (QNS) designed for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) operating in GPS-denied or contested environments. This partnership addresses the critical vulnerabilities of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to jamming and spoofing—disruptions that currently impose a $1 billion daily economic impact globally. By providing a resilient alternative to satellite-dependent positioning, the joint effort targets mission-critical autonomous platforms in both the defense and commercial logistics sectors, ensuring operational continuity even when external signals are compromised. The technical architecture represents a world-first integration of silicon photonics-based inertial sensing and quantum-sensing [...]

Google Quantum AI has announced a major strategic expansion of its research roadmap, adding neutral atom quantum computing to its established superconducting hardware program. Led by founder Hartmut Neven, the move signals a shift toward a multi-platform approach to reach commercially relevant quantum advantage. While Google remains confident in the timeline for superconducting systems by the end of the decade, the integration of neutral atoms is intended to address the "space-time" trade-off in quantum scaling. Specifically, superconducting qubits excel in circuit depth (the time dimension), while neutral atom arrays are currently more efficient for scaling qubit counts (the space dimension). The [...]

By Doug Finke Imagine you are hiking deep in the woods and suddenly realize you’ve lost your map, your cell phone is dead, and you forgot to bring a compass. While few people are actually careless enough to end up in such a precarious position, we often see a similar lack of preparation in the professional world. Whether it is a corporation, an investor, a government, or an individual plotting a career path, many attempt to journey through the complicated world of quantum technology without seeking the complete and accurate data necessary to guide their strategy. Instead, they rely on guesswork [...]

Yuval Boger interviews Bob Sorensen of Hyperion Research about the growing convergence of quantum computing and high-performance computing. They outline a problem-first adoption playbook for HPC centers: identify bottlenecks, benchmark classical options and costs, then evaluate quantum as an accelerator with clear ROI and procurement targets. Sorensen weighs cloud versus on‑prem tradeoffs, argues quantum hardware needs short lifecycles with upgrade paths, and explains why HPC managers mainly worry about seamless integration. They close with practical definitions of quantum advantage (speed, capability, and power), real-world case studies, and why error-correction-driven architecture is increasingly shaping modality decisions. Transcript Yuval: Hello, Bob, and thank you [...]

Dell Technologies has announced a suite of security-by-design and cyber resilience enhancements aimed at mitigating risks posed by the convergence of AI and quantum computing. As quantum systems threaten the mathematical foundations of current encryption and digital signatures, Dell is shifting its focus toward Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) and hardware-level trust. The expansion covers the entire technology stack, from commercial PCs to data center infrastructure, aiming to close visibility gaps in AI data platforms that traditional endpoint security often misses. Quantum-Ready Hardening at the Firmware Layer A primary focus of this update is the protection of commercial PCs against future quantum-enabled attacks [...]

The Post-Quantum Financial Infrastructure Framework (PQFIF), submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Assets Task Force, identifies the implementation project between QuSecure, Banco Sabadell, and Accenture as a primary benchmark for industry-wide adoption. The framework describes the four-month deployment as evidence that transitioning to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is both technically and operationally viable for large-scale financial institutions. Serving as the sole "Real-World Implementation Precedent" within the document, the case study highlights a shift from theoretical planning to the immediate execution of quantum-safe protocols within established banking environments. Technical findings in the PQFIF emphasize that the QuProtect platform enabled the [...]

Conductor Quantum, a startup specializing in natural language interfaces for quantum computing, has introduced CODA MCP, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The platform is designed to allow AI agents—such as Claude Desktop, VS Code, Cursor, and Zed—to utilize quantum computing resources as native tools. By providing a bridge between large language models and quantum backends, CODA MCP enables agents to automate the generation, simulation, and execution of quantum circuits through a standardized interface. The server provides multi-provider access to physical hardware from IBM, AQT, IQM, IonQ, and Rigetti, encompassing over 1,000 qubits. To address the fragmentation of quantum software development, [...]
