In a white paper written on the same day as the Caltech paper, Gidney and his colleagues announced that they had developed a new method for breaking ECC that was at least 10 times more efficient than previous methods. They estimate that most cryptocurrencies would provide seconds to a machine with less than 500,000 qubits. … Read more
Researchers have achieved a new record for qubit reliability in superconducting quantum computing systems – overcoming an important barrier to quantum computing. In a study published on February 27 in the journal Nature Communicationscientists from IBM, RWTH Aachen University in Germany and Los Angeles-based startup Quantum Elements quantum error correction and compression, which is the … Read more
Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI). It can process complex data in minutes that would take hundreds of years for a standard computer. The sector aroused strong investor interest in 2025, but the “big money” of 2026 changed the situation. Wall Street has moved away from high-value technology … Read more

Rigetti Computing recently sold a 9-qubit Novera quantum processing unit to the University of Saskatchewan, which is the foundation of the first quantum computer system in a number of partner devices and software. The agreement demonstrates how Rigetti’s modular Novera and Cepheus designs can support lab deployments while supporting large, fully managed applications. We will … Read more
Inside Short QuiX Quantum has demonstrated “below-threshold” error reduction in photonic quantum computing, achieving absolute error reduction and meeting critical levels required for scalable, fault-tolerant applications. Using a custom 20-mode photonic processor, the team used a photon distillation method that reduced undifferentiated photon errors by a factor of 2.2 and provided an overall 1.2× net … Read more
Inside Short Postquant Labs has launched a public testnet for Quip.Network, a quantum-classical blockchain platform developed by D-Wave to explore integrating quantum computing into distributed systems. Testnet enables more than 13,000 participants to test optimization-based mining using D-Wave’s annealing quantum computers as well as traditional CPUs and GPUs. The platform aims to test how quantum … Read more
Inside Short Rigetti sold Novera’s 9-qubit QPU to the University of Saskatchewan, the basis of its first quantum computing system. The system will be operated by the quanTA research center and integrated with partner equipment and software for quantum experiments. The publication supports research and teaching in quantum computing, hardware and algorithms in Western Canada. … Read more

The … Read more
If both things can be true at the same time, then quantum computing is here today and will become the main thing in a few years again. Quantum computing has evolved from theoretical ideas in the 1980s to computer architectures that can process large amounts of data simultaneously. The technology uses qubits or quantum bits … Read more
