For those of you who haven’t seen, there were actually two “bombshell” QC announcements this week. One, from Caltech, including friend-of-the-blog John Preskill, showed how to do quantum fault-tolerance with lower overhead than was previously […]
Insider Brief Naoris Protocol has launched its mainnet, introducing a post-quantum Layer 1 blockchain designed to secure digital infrastructure against future quantum threats. The launch reflects growing urgency around “harvest now, decrypt later” risks, as […]
Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the […]
Researchers at the Technion—Israel Institute of Technology have, for the first time, measured the temporal duration of individual pulses of an extraordinary form of quantum light known as bright squeezed vacuum (BSV). Their findings are […]
Insider Brief EPB has joined the Southeastern Quantum Collaborative (SQC), a regional initiative led by UAH to advance quantum technology development and applications. The collaboration brings together universities, industry, and government to strengthen workforce development […]
Last summer, a wedding photographer walked begrudgingly into a physics laboratory outside Rome. Feeling uninspired by the intricate machinery around him, he decided to turn off the lights. “I wanted to create a world that […]
Quantum 10, 2051 (2026). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-04-01-2051 Maximal sets of mutually unbiased bases are useful throughout quantum physics, both in a foundational context and for applications. To date, it remains unknown if complete sets of mutually unbiased […]
Quantum 10, 2050 (2026). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-04-01-2050 We propose a class of metrological resource states whose quantum Fisher information scales optimally in both system size and noise rate. In these states, qubits are partitioned into sensing groups […]
Insider Brief Aleesia and Roberto’s Fine Italian Diner and Pizzeria claims to have used a quantum algorithm to design an optimized multi-topping pizza that would take classical computing impractically long to replicate. The team applied […]
Quantum 10, 2049 (2026). https://doi.org/10.22331/q-2026-04-01-2049 The conditional disclosure of secrets (CDS) setting is among the most basic primitives studied in information-theoretic cryptography. Motivated by a connection to non-local quantum computation and position-based cryptography, CDS with […]
