Yesterday, two papers landed that set social media on fire.
Google Quantum AI published a landmark resource estimate showing that fewer than 500,000 superconducting qubits could break Bitcoin's el...
The quantum computing modality race has had a clear narrative for most of the past decade. Superconducting qubits were the frontrunners — Google's quantum supremacy demonstration in 2019, IBM's ste...
31 Mar 2026 - On the same day that Google Quantum AI published its landmark ECDLP-256 resource estimates showing fewer than 500,000 superconducting qubits could break cryptocurrency cryptography in...
31 Mar 2026 - Google Quantum AI has published a 57-page whitepaper demonstrating that the quantum resources needed to break the elliptic curve cryptography protecting Bitcoin, Ethereum, and virtual...
27 Mar 2026 - Every March, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence publishes a document that most Americans will never read but that quietly shapes trillions of dollars in defense spend...
When people say "silicon quantum computing," they often speak as if it is one thing. It is not. It is at least three distinct approaches, built on the same material but employing different physics,...
25 Mar 2026 - The company building the quantum computer is telling you the clock is running out. That should get your attention.
On March 25, 2026, Google published a brief but consequential blog ...
24 Mar 2026 - In 1998, Bruce Kane published a single-page proposal in Nature that launched an entire subfield of quantum computing. The idea was elegant: use the nuclear spins of individual phospho...
21 Mar 2026 - A curious thing happened in cybersecurity Slack channels and LinkedIn threads over the last few weeks: security professionals who had been dragging their feet on post-quantum cryptogr...
Regular readers will know that organizational bullshit is a topic I've been fascinated by - and personally scarred by - for years. I wrote about it at length back in 2022, drawing on the foundation...
