Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, who co-authored Google's recent quantum paper: "I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome, and I think of it more as an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure — not just relative to its competitors, but also relative to fiat and tradfi." Justin also believes quantum presents an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself: “The move to post-quantum is essentially a rewrite, and that’s a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe our technical debt.” The rewrite bundles post-quantum security with a new ZK virtual machine (LeanVM) that can snarkify the entire consensus layer in real time. The result is that the Ethereum L1 can scale to 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/second — while simultaneously becoming quantum-secure. Source: Bankless (Mar 2026)

NEW: Inside PsiQuantum's Silicon Photonic Chipset *Never-Before-Seen* With Er-Xuan Ping, SVP, Barium Titanate (BTO) Development Backdrop: the U.S. government just announced a $2B push into domestic quantum computing manufacturing - but what does that actually fund? The U.S. Department of Commerce Department recently awarded PsiQuantum $100M to accelerate development of BTO, giving a rare look into the underlying manufacturing stack required to scale fault-tolerant quantum computing. We profiled PsiQuantum last September following its $1B Series E, including how the company produces the world’s highest-performing optical switch - a core component of its silicon photonics platform. PsiQuantum is currently the only company or institution in the world manufacturing this BTO material for optical switches at 300mm scale. While the company built this silicon photonics platform for fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC)*, the implications may extend far beyond quantum itself. As AI data centers increasingly shift from copper to optical networking, PsiQuantum’s photonics stack could also become foundational infrastructure for next-generation AI systems. *Fault-tolerant quantum computing (FTQC) refers to quantum computers that can continue operating accurately even when individual quantum bits (“qubits”) are noisy or error-prone.

BREAKING: France just quietly started a countdown that affects every crypto holder. Its national cyber agency will no longer certify any security product. Without quantum-safe encryption after 2027. The announcement never mentions crypto. Not once. But here is what it doesn't have to say. Bitcoin and Ethereum both run on elliptic curve cryptography. The exact algorithm France just declared obsolete. This is the quantum threat nobody likes to talk about. The fear isn't that quantum computers crack Bitcoin tomorrow. It's a strategy called "harvest now, decrypt later." Adversaries collecting encrypted data today. Waiting for the machine that can crack it. When a major government formally rejects the encryption crypto relies on. It's a signal. The timeline is shifting from theoretical to scheduled. Don't panic. Bitcoin can upgrade to quantum-resistant cryptography. The developers know this is coming. But France just made one thing clear. The clock isn't hypothetical anymore. It's ticking. And the date is set.

How IIT Madras is Changing Global Security The End of Hacking? IIT Madras is spearheading India's push into quantum-secure communications through the IITM-C-DOT Samgnya Technologies Foundation, launched as the National Hub for Quantum Communication under the National Quantum Mission. This initiative aims to make communications "unhackable" by shifting from math-based encryption to physics-based security, countering future quantum computer threats. The hub, inaugurated in December 2025 at IIT Madras Research Park, partners with C-DOT and is funded by the Department of Science and Technology (DST). It focuses on developing indigenous quantum hardware, QKD networks, quantum repeaters, and satellite-based systems to protect critical infrastructure like AI data centers and defense networks. Traditional encryption relies on complex math that quantum computers will crack in years. QKD uses quantum physics: any eavesdropping alters the quantum state, alerting the system instantly and burning the key. IIT Madras claims an edge in secure transmission over computing leaders like the US and China. The hub builds real-world testbeds, subsidizes hardware for startups, trains experts, and links globally via IITM Global outposts. It positions India to lead in quantum-secure networks for sovereign AI and government use within five years. IIT Madras also runs CyStar, a cybersecurity center advancing quantum security, AI model protection, and IoT defenses since 2024. This aligns with national goals for unhackable comms amid rising cyber threats. Credit : AIM Network.

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.

Bitcoin Rails x MARA Foundation presents: THE POLITICS OF POST-QUANTUM BITCOIN | with Nic Carter 🔗 YouTube: 🌿Spotify: Less than nine months ago, investor and researcher nic carter sparked one of the most heated debates in Bitcoin's recent history — when he published a series of essays arguing that the network should prepare for its post-quantum transition sooner rather than later. While the essays broadly persuaded investors and institutions, many of Bitcoin's technical leaders dismissed them as alarmist — that is, until Google's quantum resource estimates were updated just a few months later. Crediting Google's paper with "shifting the Overton Window" on quantum and strengthening the case for post-quantum preparation, Nic shares his thoughts on the delicate politics surrounding this transition — and how he believes a quantum attack and response could potentially play out in practice. In more detail, this special episode of Bitcoin Rails X MARA Foundation TV covers: - How a quantum attack could realistically unfold + the different ways stakeholder groups might respond - The constitutional tensions surfaced by quantum vulnerable coins and how incentives will ultimately dictate outcomes - How a state actor could facilitate "benevolent" quantum recovery and eliminate the need for a contentious fork - The role and influence of institutional investors as key players in quantum outcomes - How Bitcoin's post-quantum transition could permanently reshape Bitcoin’s governance structures ...or build them from the ground up TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 — Intro 00:18 — Nick's path from Fidelity to founding Castle Island 07:00 — How quantum went from FUD to Nick's biggest concern 12:45 — Why Core devs refuse to be accountable 26:09 — Investors vs developers: who took quantum seriously first 32:33 — Bitcoin's "pre-constitutional" governance problem 39:18 — Satoshi's coins: liquidate, burn, slow-bleed, or let the government take them 47:36 — Why there will never be another Bitcoin fork war 01:01:35 — Bitcoin is about to choose the wrong signature scheme 01:09:42 — The actual deadline: why PQ signatures need to ship in 2026 01:13:09 — The happy path, the coup, and why Bitcoin won't die

🚨 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

BITCOIN RAILS #59: Post-Quantum Bitcoin Signatures (+ their tradeoffs) | with BIP 360 co-author Ethan ✨ is on BlueSky✨ Heilman 🐱 and Blockstream Head of Research Jonas Nick 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: According to BIP 360 co-author Ethan Heilman, Bitcoin needs a minimum of two soft forks to become quantum resistant: P2MR (or an output type that can safely execute PQ signatures) + a post-quantum checksig (signature scheme). Ethan and the BIP 360 team (including myself and Hunter Beast 🕯️) introduced the P2MR part via a BIP 360 update late last year—but the question remains, what’s the most appropriate PQ signature scheme for Bitcoin? They all have substantive tradeoffs, but hash-based signatures seem to be leading technical discourse—likely due to recent optimizations by Jonas Nick and the broader Blockstream research team. It was an honor to sit down with both of these men - arguably the two most influential and productive cryptographers in Bitcoin quantum mitigation right now - for an in-depth review of the leading PQ signature schemes and a temperature check on Bitcoin’s post-quantum planning process. TBH, if you want to skip the noise and jump straight to the signal on quantum, this is the interview to watch. In this episode, we discuss: - What needs to happen at the soft fork, infra, and mitigation levels to fully quantum-harden Bitcoin - Recent updates to BIP 360 + breakdown of the leading hash-based signatures schemes for Bitcoin (SHRINCS + SHRIMPS) - Why we may actually get consensus around a stateful scheme for Bitcoin - Comparisons of hash-based signatures vs Lattice and Isogeny-based schemes - Assessing the risks of both waiting too long and acting too fast (and why quantum is a better threat to be facing than a potential classical attack) This episode of Bitcoin Rails is brought to you by my NEW sponsors: - LayerTwo Labs LayerTwo Labs — developing research, software, and technologies for scaling Bitcoin via the integration of Drivechains (BIP 300/301) - Hashi on Sui — a primitive for executing Bitcoin Defi transactions, without having to trust a federated bridge or other centralized entity - BitBox BitBox — an open-source Bitcoin-only hardware wallet, with smooth UX and no compromises on security.

People are losing their minds over the idea of quantum computing breaking Bitcoin, but the panic is largely detached from reality. If you listen to Eric Yakes, the fear-mongering is completely off base. The theoretical threat relies on quantum computers factoring large prime numbers fast enough to crack current cryptography. To date, the largest number a quantum computer has successfully factored is 15. "Neven's Law" says quantum power grows at a doubly exponential rate. It's a projection people are using to raise money for their projects, rather than a measurement we are seeing in real life. Compare that to Moore's Law, which we actually watched happen in real time. While physical qubits are increasing and error rates are slowly declining, there is a massive technical hurdle: error rates scale exponentially with qubit count. Adding more power creates more "noise," making the machine harder to stabilize. "But institutional capital is worried!" That's fine. Institutional capital has been wrong about Bitcoin for a decade. If they're selling on quantum FUD, that's cheap sats for the rest of us. Bitcoin devs have been on this for years and are taking steps to mitigate the risk. BIP-360 was just merged into the Bitcoin GitHub repository and Chaincode Labs has published plenty of serious research. If a real threat emerges, every stakeholder is incentivized to adopt quantum-resistant signatures and consensus won't be the obstacle people think it is. Start paying attention to what's actually being built and take your finger off the panic button. Full breakdown 👇

I recently joined Chanel Rion OAN on Fine Point w/ Chanel Rion on One America News to talk about the quantum race with China. China is stealing encrypted data now so they can crack it later once quantum computing catches up, which means our national security, banking systems, military intelligence, federal secrets and yes, even the nuclear codes are all part of the stakes. President Donald J. Trump set a 2030 deadline for high-value federal systems to move to post-quantum security, which is both absolutely necessary and deeply terrifying when you remember we are asking the same bureaucracy that treats updating a PDF like the moon landing to rewrite the encryption backbone of the federal government. This is the new arms race, and whoever gets there first does not just win a technology race. They gain the ability to dominate the digital world. Watch the interview. The future is coming fast, and pretending otherwise is naive, at best.

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:

BITCOIN RAILS #36: The Birth Story of ‘OPCAT’ | with proposal co-author Ethan ✨ is on BlueSky✨ Heilman 🐱 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: As interest in Bitcoin Layer 2s skyrockets, the inclusion of OP_CAT — an opcode enabling concatenation of elements in the Bitcoin stack — has become a key technical upgrade to watch for its potential in the development of trustless bridges. OP_CAT co-author Ethan ✨ is on BlueSky✨ Heilman 🐱 and I sat down to discuss debate around this opcode — including why it’s controversial, the cultural environment shaping its future, and why some worry its broad expressivity could pose “unknown risks” to Bitcoin over time. More recently, Ethan co-authored BIP 360 with Hunter Beast 🕯️ — another controversial proposal aimed at addressing Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerabilities. Suffice it to say, there are few people with Ethan's experience in navigating Bitcoin politics and its shifting governance landscape as we move towards ossification over time. In this episode, we cover: - The origins of OP_CAT and why it was included and removed from early Bitcoin - What makes OP_CAT so powerful (and why that worries some developers) - Cultural shifts in Bitcoin governance as its developer community matures - The ‘great covenants debate’ + OPCAT vs. CTV - The path to BIP 360 and why Bitcoin should be ‘quantum ready’ This episode is powered by: - Best In Slot (Best in Slot | BRC2.0 🧑‍🍳), the leading API for Ordinals and BRC20 data aggregation and indexing - Spark (Lightspark), a statechains implementation leading the path towards institutional adoption of Bitcoin-powered payments - Citrea (Citrea), the leading Bitcoin Rollup technology and contributor to the BitVM alliance 📍 Timestamps 00:00 – Intro 00:45 – Bitcoin Privacy and the OP_CAT Proposal 03:18 – Technical Challenges of Adding New Opcodes 07:37 – Politics and Culture of Bitcoin Upgrades 28:46 – Quantum Computing Meets Bitcoin 37:48 – How Governments View Quantum Risk 39:06 – Breaking Down BIP 360 for Developers 42:03 – Post-Quantum Signature Schemes Explained 45:18 – Trade-offs in Quantum Security for Bitcoin 53:16 – Community Reactions to BIP 360 01:00:23 – The Future of Bitcoin in a Post Quantum World

BITCOIN RAILS #36: The Birth Story of ‘OPCAT’ | with proposal co-author Ethan ✨ is on BlueSky✨ Heilman 🐱 🔗 YOUTUBE: 🌿 SPOTIFY: As interest in Bitcoin Layer 2s skyrockets, the inclusion of OP_CAT — an opcode enabling concatenation of elements in the Bitcoin stack — has become a key technical upgrade to watch for its potential in the development of trustless bridges. OP_CAT co-author Ethan ✨ is on BlueSky✨ Heilman 🐱 and I sat down to discuss debate around this opcode — including why it’s controversial, the cultural environment shaping its future, and why some worry its broad expressivity could pose “unknown risks” to Bitcoin over time. More recently, Ethan co-authored BIP 360 with Hunter Beast 🕯️ — another controversial proposal aimed at addressing Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerabilities.

Quantum computing can destroy crypto market. What's scarier is that our transaction data is being harvested right now. no one is paying attention because it feels like a future problem. sat down with C J $DIAM [founder of DIAM ] Since 2018, he's been quietly building the quantum-proof security layer that the entire $2.4 trillion crypto market will eventually depend on. Long before anyone was paying attention. Here's everything we got into: TIMESTAMPS 00:00 — The $2.4 trillion sitting exposed right now 00:16 — "Harvest now, decrypt later" - what it actually means 01:11 — What's already happening in the shadows of the internet 02:43 — Google just moved the quantum threat timeline to 2029 03:07 — Why waiting until 2029 to prepare is already too late 04:47 — What Diamante actually is (explained for a 15-year-old) 05:33 — Why Bitcoin and Ethereum can't simply "upgrade" to quantum-proof 07:41 — The brutal truth: legacy chains would need a full network fork 09:00 — Are your funds safe in a hot or cold wallet right now? 10:11 — "If you're a fish, you're safe. If you're a whale…" 11:03 — How developers can build or migrate onto Diamante today 12:55 — 120,000 TPS - with quantum encryption live on mainnet 13:02 — What's already being built on the ecosystem 14:04 — Quantum-secured VPN - the first viral use case incoming 15:11 — The ferrochrome giant tokenizing $3B in assets on Diamante 16:07 — How Diamante raised from the Abu Dhabi royal family 19:09 — What YOU can actually do today to protect yourself 22:06 — The psychology of building a 10-year vision in a 10-second market 24:00 — Why patient investors are Diamante's secret weapon 28:42 — What the world looks like in 2035 when quantum hits mainstream 33:39 — What the Diamante community will remember when the storm arrives 35:03 — Why Chirag doesn't see quantum security as a competition 37:43 — RAPID FIRE: AI agents - most overrated trend in crypto? 38:10 — The one builder Chirag respects most (the answer will surprise no one) part that stuck with me most wasn't the tech. It was when Chirag talked about the moments he almost gave up... He built through years when "quantum" wasn't even a narrative, let alone a trend. One of the most grounded conversations I've had on The Based Show.
