🚨INSIDE THE LAB THAT MAKES COMPUTING COLDER THAN SPACE The sound hits first, a constant rumble from refrigeration systems working to cool quantum chips to temperatures colder than space itself. These aren’t your everyday computers. They operate near absolute zero, where atoms barely move and quantum rules take over. At the center is a chip packed with a thousand qubits. Nearby, AI supercomputers and classical machines work in tandem, each playing a role in processing power beyond today’s standards. Bits, neurons, and qubits, once separate, now converge in one cold, humming room built for the future. Source: FORTUNE

Few realize how close we are to a complete Physics revolution. Particle physics is about to be replaced by quantum-wave theory. There is no inconsistency between quantum and macro. Mass is energy. Standing waves produce coherence. The double slit experiment is the gateway to our new understanding. Think about what the answer must be. The electron is traversing all possible paths. How? Space is not empty. All points in space and time are connected. We can travel faster than the speed of light.

Quantum computing is coming. Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing serves as a great reminder that, while we don’t know exactly when, quantum computing is on its way—and it’s closer than we might have thought. The implications for the current blockchain space could be far more severe than we can imagine. Why? Because when quantum computers become operational, security methods that currently take hundreds of years to hack could be broken in minutes. Like the turkey oblivious to the 1001st day, failing to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computing could leave us vulnerable to devastating consequences when the time comes. At StarkWare, we’ve anticipated this risk and developed STARK, a proving technology for blockchains that is quantum-resistant. This cutting-edge innovation currently powers Starknet (BTCFi arc). If you want to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your systems, now is the best time to migrate your stack to a STARK-powered one. As the inventors of this technology, we believe our team is uniquely positioned to assist you with this migration. Moreover, we are more than open to collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and other relevant parties to build Ethereum’s quantum resistance as soon as the community is ready.

Elon Musk is delaying Mars to focus on an uncrewed Moon landing by March 2027, and that might be the real beginning of the quantum era. This is exactly why Elon has said quantum computing is best done in the Moon’s permanently shadowed craters. At first, it sounds like one of Elon’s sci-fi ideas. But the logic is ruthless. Quantum computers demand extreme cold and absolute stability. No heat. No noise. No vibration. The Moon’s shadowed craters, like Shackleton, sit at −200°C, permanently dark, airless, silent, and untouched by weather. A perfect, natural quantum laboratory. On Earth, we spend billions trying to artificially create these conditions. On the Moon, they already exist. Once again, Elon isn’t daydreaming. He’s pointing straight at the future.

Federico Faggin: "Quantum Fields are conscious & have free will" "You cannot create something that can know itself by something that doesn't even know what knowing means." The inventor of the first commercial microprocessor argues that consciousness cannot emerge from non-conscious matter. No mechanism can explain how awareness arises from something without any knowing. Instead, Faggin proposes quantum information-based panpsychism: quantum fields themselves are conscious and possess free will. These must be fundamental primitives of reality, not reducible to physics. This view explains the collapse of the wave function as a free will decision and why quantum mechanics describes what can be known rather than deterministic reality. Consciousness transcends energy, space, and time. Starting with it as basic unlocks meaning and resolves the hard problem that materialism cannot solve. A profound challenge to conventional science from one of computing's pioneers.

🚨 QUANTUM COMPUTING: THE NEXT TECH GOLD RUSH Quantum computing (QC) is about to blow up the tech world. Think of it as AI on steroids—but here’s the kicker: the entire U.S. quantum sector is worth less than Dogecoin. Imagine buying Bitcoin at $500. That’s where QC is today. Regular computers process in 1s and 0s. QCs use qubits, which can be 1, 0, or both at the same time (superposition). Translation? They solve ridiculously complex problems insanely fast. Google recently ran a calculation on its quantum chip in 5 minutes that would take the world’s fastest supercomputer 10 septillion years to complete. Yes, that’s older than the universe. Why it matters: QC isn’t just a cool science project—it’s a game-changer: Medicine: Design drugs in weeks, not years. Finance: Smarter investments, faster decisions. AI: Supercharges AI, making today’s breakthroughs look tiny. McKinsey predicts QC will add trillions to the economy in the next decade. Entire industries will be rewritten. We are closer than most people think. Quantum startups are already hitting 10 qubits, aiming for 100 in 2 years and thousands in 5 years. QC is already solving real problems in medicine, defense, and finance, and platforms like AWS and Google let you rent quantum power right now. Here’s the wild part: the entire U.S. quantum sector is trading for less than a meme coin. Meanwhile, China is outspending the U.S. 5 to 1 in quantum development. Legislation like the Quantum Leadership Act is injecting billions into R&D, but QC’s “ChatGPT moment”—where its potential becomes undeniable—is just 2-3 years away. The upside here is massive. QC isn’t just going to change industries—it’s going to flip them on their heads. When its moment comes, the repricing will be fast and brutal. The clock is ticking. Source: Charles Edwards

𝗦𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗶𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘁𝘂𝗯𝘂𝗹𝗲𝘀: 𝗔 𝗚𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗽𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗺 𝗕𝗶𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆? Researchers may have just found quantum superpowers in microtubules. Yes, you read that right—quantum *superradiance* in the brain! Superradiance is a phenomenon where excited particles behave like a team, emitting photons collectively in a bright, ultra-fast burst. This is different from normal fluorescence, where photons are emitted slowly and individually. Imagine a synchronized light show on a quantum scale. The key ingredient? Quantum entanglement. If particles are spaced closer than the wavelength of incoming light, they form a collective quantum state. This allows them to act as one entity, amplifying energy release, just like a laser—but smaller in scale. The study zeroed in on tryptophan molecules inside microtubules. When hit with UV light, they emitted much more energy than regular fluorescence could explain—100 times more, to be exact. The researchers believe this can only happen through superradiance, implying large-scale quantum entanglement. If true, this discovery could be huge. It may hint that quantum effects play a bigger role in biology—and even in brain function—than we ever imagined. Could Penrose and the quantum brain theory be right after all?

BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #18: MAKE BITCOIN QUANTUM RESISTANT | with BIP360 author Hunter Beast Hunter Beast 🕯️ Quantum computing is a complicated topic—one that incites equal amounts of fear and skepticism depending on who you talk to… especially in Bitcoin. In this episode, BIP360 author Hunter Beast wisely shares why the “truth is likely somewhere in the middle,” citing incremental advancements in quantum computing that may eventually pose a legitimate threat to some Bitcoin addresses—as well as steps we can take to protect ourselves in the short, medium and long term. The correct posture is to “be prepared, not scared,” says Hunter Beast 🕯️ Ultimately, the introduction of quantum resistant cryptography—via proposals like BIP360—will be needed for higher degrees of security. That said, individuals can mitigate personal risk substantially through proper address-use hygiene. This episode breaks down the specific challenges Bitcoin will face in the event of a quantum attack, the likelihood of an attack over time, and the steps we’ll need to take at the individual and communal level to ensure Bitcoin’s safety. This episode includes detailed discussion of: 1) How quantum computing could potentially affect Bitcoin public/private key cryptography—and technologies built on vulnerable addresses (e.g. Taproot) 2) Best practices for protecting yourself against quantum in the short and long term 3) Implications of vulnerable address types—e.g. what about Satoshi’s coins? 4) Deep Dive into BIP360 + proposed long-term solutions 5) Industry roadmaps for quantum computing + how banks and governments are preparing for “Q Day” As always, this episode can be viewed on Spotify or YouTuve—full episode in the comments or linktree in my bio.

6,100-Qubit Processor Shatters Quantum Computing Record | David Nield, ScienceAlert Another major quantum computing record has been broken, and by a considerable margin: physicists have now built an array containing 6,100 qubits, the largest of its type and way above the thousand or so qubits previous systems contained. It's the work of scientists from the California Institute of Technology, who used cesium atoms as their qubits, trapping them in place with a complex system of lasers that acted as tweezers to keep the atoms as stable as possible. Qubits differ from the classical bits of traditional computers by exploiting what's known as a superposition: not just binary states of 1 or 0, but a spread of probabilities that allows for algorithms that can solve problems considered out of reach of conventional computing methods. Related: Quantum Advantage: A Physicist Explains The Future of Computers A lot of qubits will be needed to make quantum algorithms practical, however. One reason for these large arrays is error correction, which helps overcome the inherent fragility of the qubit by providing a surplus to double-check the machine's operation. "This is an exciting moment for neutral-atom quantum computing," says physicist Manuel Endres. "We can now see a pathway to large error-corrected quantum computers. The building blocks are in place." There was no single breakthrough that enabled this jump in qubit numbers, but rather a series of engineering advancements in many key areas – from the laser tweezers to the ultra-high (very low pressure) vacuum chamber. Stability has also been a problem for quantum computing systems. The innovations in this latest array kept qubits in a superposition state for almost 13 seconds – almost ten times longer than previous configurations had managed. What's more, individual qubits could be manipulated with 99.98 percent accuracy, establishing a significant benchmark in the programmability of quantum technology. "Large scale, with more atoms, is often thought to come at the expense of accuracy, but our results show that we can do both," says physicist Gyohei Nomura. "Qubits aren't useful without quality. Now we have quantity and quality." To make quantum computers a practical alternative to modern supercomputers, more qubits and even greater levels of stability will be required. Experts are tackling the problem from several different angles, which is why records for some types of quantum computer don't necessarily apply to others. Next, the researchers need to work on exploiting entanglement, which will enable the system to make the leap from storing information to actually processing it. Not too far in the future, we could be using these computers to discover new materials, matter, and fundamental laws of physics. "It's exciting that we are creating machines to help us learn about the Universe in ways that only quantum mechanics can teach us," says physicist Hannah Manetsch. Read more:

There was no single breakthrough that enabled this jump in qubit numbers, but rather a series of engineering advancements in many key areas – from the laser tweezers to the ultra-high (very low pressure) vacuum chamber. Stability has also been a problem for quantum computing systems. The innovations in this latest array kept qubits in a superposition state for almost 13 seconds – almost ten times longer than previous configurations had managed. What's more, individual qubits could be manipulated with 99.98 percent accuracy, establishing a significant benchmark in the programmability of quantum technology. "Large scale, with more atoms, is often thought to come at the expense of accuracy, but our results show that we can do both," says physicist Gyohei Nomura. "Qubits aren't useful without quality. Now we have quantity and quality." To make quantum computers a practical alternative to modern supercomputers, more qubits and even greater levels of stability will be required. Experts are tackling the problem from several different angles, which is why records for some types of quantum computer don't necessarily apply to others. Next, the researchers need to work on exploiting entanglement, which will enable the system to make the leap from storing information to actually processing it. Not too far in the future, we could be using these computers to discover new materials, matter, and fundamental laws of physics. "It's exciting that we are creating machines to help us learn about the Universe in ways that only quantum mechanics can teach us," says physicist Hannah Manetsch. Read more:

My 10x stock idea from GTC isn't photonics?! But it does involve lasers. Say hello to $INFQ. It's a newly IPO'd quantum stock generating tens of millions in revenue in space + defense applications with very unique technology. Infleqtion went public last month but it's trading 40% below its IPO price with a sub $2B market cap. $INFQ trades at roughly 70x trailing sales on $29M in revenue. Compare that to $RGTI at $6B market cap on just $7M in revenue, that's 860x sales. I chatted with $INFQ's Chief Administrative Officer, Julie McGee, to dig in further but here's the TLDR. Most quantum companies need to cool their chips to near absolute zero temps just to operate. Infleqtion uses "neutral atom" technology that traps individual atoms inside a glass cell using lasers and runs them at room temperature. It takes the power of a few hairdryers. No giant refrigerators. Way cheaper and way easier to scale. And unlike most quantum names they're actually shipping products NOW. Quantum clocks for GPS-denied navigation, RF sensors, inertial navigation systems. Selling to NASA, the DoD, and the UK government. Their quantum clock is being qualified by SpaceX for satellite systems. Quantum brings a whole new level of precision that works on the ground, in the sky, and underwater. Their technology can enable submarines to navigate without ever linking up to a satellite. GPS jamming is also becoming a huge problem on the battlefield, showing up in Ukraine and Iran. Quantum timing is inherently unjammable and unspoofable. They also had a dedicated spot inside the Nvidia booth at GTC. $INFQ partnered with Nvidia to demo the first commercial materials science application running on logical qubits and are working with Nvidia's NVQLink to scale quantum-classical hybrid computing. What's next: 30 logical qubits targeted this year, one of the most important milestones in the race to fault tolerant quantum computing by 2028. Plus a new NASA contract to measure Earth's gravity from space. Infleqtion combines an attractive valuation with extremely unique technology (they're the only neutral atom quantum company publicly listed). Could easily see this re-rating fast, I just think the IPO timing was poor with Iran. Could be adding this as a lottery ticket to my Asymmetrical Bets portfolio soon... This post was not sponsored or influenced in any way by $INFQ. All thoughts are my own, NFA / DYOR.

Black entrepreneurs changed the world with two turntables and a microphone. Hip-hop is now a global economy, a fashion industry and a language spoken by billions. What comes next will be bigger. Private space exploration. Biotech. Quantum computing. AI. These are young industries, and the ground floor is still open. If we show up for this moment, the next decade could generate more Black wealth than any period in American history. What are you building?

$HBAR is launching into the future January 14, 2025 via SpaceX!! 🚀 SpaceX will deploy next-generation WISeSat satellites, featuring SEALSQ's post-quantum chips and WISeKey's Root of Trust for enhanced security against quantum threats. Here are some key takeaways I found interesting: 🔥 SEALSQ: - Focuses on the development and sale of semiconductors, PKI, and post-quantum tech products. - Hedera Hashgraph Integration: Utilizes Hedera for the SEALCOIN initiative, a token for DePIN, enabling secure, quantum-resistant transactions for IoT devices. - Innovation: Provides semiconductors that are resistant to quantum computing attacks, enhancing security in IoT and blockchain networks. WiseSat: - Part of WISeKey, specializing in secure satellite IoT communications. - Hedera Utilization: Integrates Hedera for secure, decentralized IoT connectivity, enhancing global coverage and security for IoT devices. - Technology: Aims to provide robust digital infrastructure for secure data transmission from space, leveraging post-quantum cryptography. Final thoughts: This launch will mark a significant advancement in secure IoT communications, combining cybersecurity with satellite technology to offer global, real-time connectivity for various industries. Elon is very aware of Hedera and I wouldn’t be surprised if we hear more about these two juggernauts working together on more projects in the near future. 🤔 Another milestone for Hedera that demonstrats the versatility and uniqueness of this incredible technology!! The future is built on Hedera! 🚀 🔥 💵 If you found this interesting, repost for others to see and give me a follow for more. 🙏 😉

Quantum Moses by Qaiser Ahmed Raja Superposition applies to subatomic particles, not to macroscopic systems composed of trillions upon trillions of entangled atoms. You don’t get “Quantum Moses” unless he’s been shrunken down to a single particle and chilled to near absolute zero. But let’s continue this nonsense. Muhammad observing Moses equals measurement. That’s decoherence. The wavefunction collapses. But Mansoor… what if Moses recohered in Jannah? Recoherence would require removing all interactions, including erasing the memory of Muhammad ever seeing him. Not possible. Not even plausible. So when Moses shows up later in Jannah, not sure why he’d quantum leap to superposition instead of the obvious explanation that he just got there first. That’s not the same wavefunction. That’s Moses 2.0. Could be a clone. Could be an imposter. 🤷🏽‍♂️ And finally, this pseudoscientific soup was served at UCP. Please rename this school to Uni of 🤡 Physics.
