The GPU Strikes Back: Math Catches Up to Google’s Quantum Supremacy Claim

In 2019, word filtered out that a quantum computer built by Google had performed calculations that the company claimed would be effectively impossible to replicate on supercomputing hardware. That turned out to not be entirely correct, since Google had neglected to consider the storage available to supercomputers; if that were included, the quantum computer’s lead shrank to just a matter of days.

Quantum Xchange and Thales Collaborate to Secure Networks Against the Quantum Apocalypse

Quantum Xchange, delivering the future of encryption with its leading-edge key distribution platform has collaborated with Thales to offer immediate quantum-safe and crypto-agile key delivery capabilities. The resulting quantum-resistant network solution enables end-users to future-proof the security of their data and communications networks; overcome the vulnerabilities of present-day encryption techniques, e.g., keys and data traveling together; and protect against man-in-the-middle, harvesting, and future quantum attacks.

Qrypt’s Quantum Security for Enterprises Through the Cloud: QKD, E-a-a-S

Qrypt, a producer of cryptographic security solutions enabled by quantum entropy, announced the launch of two new solutions: the Cloud Enterprise Portal, and Digital Quantum Key Distribution (Digital QKD).

Quantum Random Number Generator, Smallest Ever?

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China and Zhejiang University developed a quantum random number generator (QRNG) that small and low power enough to be portable. It utilizes a photonic IC with optimized real-time postprocessing for extracting randomness from quantum entropy source of vacuum states.

Take it or Leave it: U.S. National Security Agency Gave Us the Questions They Asked Themselves, and the Answers They Gave Themselves

Quantum computers can, in principle, perform certain mathematical algorithms exponentially faster than a classical computer. In place of ordinary bits used by today’s computers, quantum computers use “qubits” that behave and interact according to the laws of quantum mechanics. This quantum physics-based behavior would enable a sufficiently large-scale quantum computer to perform specific mathematical calculations that would be infeasible for any conventional computer.

Quantropi Transmits Quantum Keys Around the Globe, Compares Speed of Transmission to Google

Quantropi, Inc., a groundbreaking Canadian quantum security solutions provider, announced the impressive results of a high-profile demonstration of its patented technology. A portion of the demonstration was enabled by CANARIE, the federal partner in Canada’s National Research and Education Network (NREN), and its Alberta partner in the NREN, Cybera. CANARIE’s participation in the demonstration leveraged existing network infrastructure to support Quantropi’s solution and the evolution of the Canadian quantum ecosystem.
