QUANTUM COMPUTING COULD UNLEASH THE MOST POWERFUL AI EVER BUILT. BUT WHO REALLY CONTROLS IT? The Pentagon has invested more than $150 million in quantum computing, a technology most Americans have never used, but one that could reshape artificial intelligence, drug discovery, encryption, national security, and surveillance. Quantum computers...

Great expose. Quantum computers are extremely pricey. Only governments or big corporations can afford them for national defense. Biggest problem is in security. Quantum computers can crack modern 512 bit encryption in seconds that would take the fastest modern computer weeks.

"The question is not just what quantum-powered AI can do. It is who controls it, and whether the public will have any protection from it." Exactly.

Technology doesn’t improve our character. It scales it. AI, quantum computing, the rest—they don’t invent new sins. They just make the old ones faster, cheaper, and harder to contain. Whatever was already rotten in us now ships at industrial speed. Havoc with better tooling. Ego trips with a god-mode button.

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:

I sat down with NVIDIA Sam Stanwyck (Sam Stanwyck) at ISC to talk about one of the most misunderstood areas in computing: quantum. We discussed why NVIDIA is not building a quantum computer, but instead the infrastructure around it: GPUs, AI, CUDA-Q, quantum simulation, control systems, error correction, and the path toward hybrid CPU/GPU/QPU supercomputing. The key takeaway: Quantum will likely not arrive as a standalone magic machine. It will arrive as part of a much larger accelerated computing stack, combining classical supercomputers, AI, GPUs, and quantum processors to tackle problems in chemistry, materials science, energy, optimization, and fundamental science. Full episode with Sam Stanwyck is now live.

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.

Foreign intelligence agencies and cybercriminals are stealing encrypted government files, military communications, and sensitive data. They can't read most of it today—but they're saving it for tomorrow.😯 The strategy is called "Harvest Now, Decrypt Later." The goal is simple: steal the secrets now, then wait for quantum computers powerful enough to break today's encryption. Most of the internet relies on encryption that's effectively impossible for today's computers to crack. But quantum computers could solve certain mathematical problems dramatically faster than classical computers, potentially putting much of today's encryption at risk. 🤔 The countries that prepare first could gain a major cybersecurity advantage for decades to come.

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: 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

Quantum computing has long been viewed as a transformative technology, but recent breakthroughs suggest its impact may arrive much sooner than expected. At the center of growing concern is the prospect of Q-Day—the moment when a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could crack the public-key encryption that underpins global banking, government communications, military networks, cryptocurrencies, and much of the modern internet. As advances in quantum hardware, error correction, and algorithms accelerate, governments and technology companies are racing to prepare for a post-quantum world. In this interview with Cris Sheridan on the IFA Life podcast, Woodley B. Preucil, CFA, Senior Managing Director at 13D Research & Strategy, discusses why the timeline for Q-Day may have compressed dramatically, the geopolitical competition driving investment in quantum technologies, and what the coming transition means for cybersecurity, national security, and investors.

$IONQ "The world still massively underestimates just how disruptive it's going to be." Chris Ballance IonQ President of Quantum Computing laid out the whole picture with Kearney's Brent Smolinski. Start to finish: What it is → Quantum computers run on quantum physics, not classical logic - for Ballance, the most powerful form of computing the laws of physics allow. They solve in minutes what a classical machine couldn't crack in the lifetime of the universe. Where we are → "The end of the beginning." Real systems exist, you can buy one from IonQ today, and the field is speed-running the computing revolution. The race now: who scales the best platform the fastest. The value comes in three eras → - Early: problems classical can't touch - chemistry & drug discovery (with AstraZeneca), crash-analysis simulation (with Ansys). - Middle: familiar work, but faster, better or far less energy - AI fine-tuning, most likely hybrid: a GPU farm and a quantum computer side by side, more than the sum of their parts. - Late: unknown. The killer applications are never the ones you expect. Quantum advantage → Not a benchmark stunt - a better solution per dollar invested in quantum than classical. Hard to spot, but already real for certain early problems. The economics → His sharpest line: compute is now just a markup on electricity. With a fixed budget, the question is classical or quantum - and some of the first quantum wins won't be faster, just orders of magnitude cheaper. The architectures → Superconducting (IBM, Google): first-mover lead and standard chip fabs - but chips chilled to a thousandth of a degree above absolute zero, huge energy-hungry refrigeration, and a quantum chip "three orders of magnitude harder" than Intel's toughest. It loses coherence fast, too: many redundant qubits, far bigger machines. Trapped ions (IonQ): individual atoms - and an atom is "guaranteed perfect across the universe." No fab variation, far lower error rates, no exotic cooling. The atoms are run by an ordinary classical chip, so IonQ rides the trillion-dollar semiconductor industry instead of inventing a quantum chip. (Oxford Ionics' Electronic Qubit Control, SkyWater foundry) Why it's green → A future million-qubit machine is about a dozen racks drawing minuscule power - orders of magnitude less than a large AI data center. Classical can still gain 10–100×, but not the orders of magnitude quantum unlocks. His call: within ~10 years, some 100-megawatt NVIDIA clusters could sit vacant. Quick-fire → - Most over-hyped: changing biology. - Most underestimated risk: integrating into real customer workflows. - First to adopt: finance ) portfolio analysis & fraud prevention. - Most exciting: the speed of change over the next 24 months. The personal why → What gets him out of bed: reinventing how we think about computation and the belief that the world still underestimates how disruptive this will be. For leaders → Quantum computing is here now. Adopting any new tech takes 2-3 years, so the moment to start isn't next year it's now, so you're ready when the hardware lands.

The architectures → Superconducting (IBM, Google): first-mover lead and standard chip fabs - but chips chilled to a thousandth of a degree above absolute zero, huge energy-hungry refrigeration, and a quantum chip "three orders of magnitude harder" than Intel's toughest. It loses coherence fast, too: many redundant qubits, far bigger machines. Trapped ions (IonQ): individual atoms - and an atom is "guaranteed perfect across the universe." No fab variation, far lower error rates, no exotic cooling. The atoms are run by an ordinary classical chip, so IonQ rides the trillion-dollar semiconductor industry instead of inventing a quantum chip. (Oxford Ionics' Electronic Qubit Control, SkyWater foundry) Why it's green → A future million-qubit machine is about a dozen racks drawing minuscule power - orders of magnitude less than a large AI data center. Classical can still gain 10–100×, but not the orders of magnitude quantum unlocks. His call: within ~10 years, some 100-megawatt NVIDIA clusters could sit vacant. Quick-fire → - Most over-hyped: changing biology. - Most underestimated risk: integrating into real customer workflows. - First to adopt: finance ) portfolio analysis & fraud prevention. - Most exciting: the speed of change over the next 24 months. The personal why → What gets him out of bed: reinventing how we think about computation and the belief that the world still underestimates how disruptive this will be. For leaders → Quantum computing is here now. Adopting any new tech takes 2-3 years, so the moment to start isn't next year it's now, so you're ready when the hardware lands.

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.

Jim Cramer is selling his Bitcoin over quantum fears Honestly, this is not a dumb take from Cramer. It was the fact that quantum computing has officially entered mainstream conversations. Jim Cramer also said he’s planning to sell all his $BTC because of quantum risks. Then IBM’s CEO warned everyone to be paranoid about what’s coming in the next 3–4 years. Whether you agree with them or not isn’t the point. The point is this: If people are questioning whether tomorrow’s computers can break today’s cryptography… Why are we still trusting today’s privacy tools to protect tomorrow’s data? That’s exactly why I’ve been following what QVPN is building. Unlike traditional VPNs that mainly hide your IP, QVPN is being built with quantum-safe protection on top of DIAM’s blockchain infrastructure. Most people won’t care until it’s too late. I’d rather prepare before everyone else starts asking the same questions. If quantum ends up changing cybersecurity the way AI changed software, the projects building for that future today will matter the most. Join QVPN Genesis and mine $SHHH 🔗 #Quantum

D-Wave announced a scientific breakthrough published in the esteemed journal Science Magazine, confirming that its annealing quantum computer outperformed one of the world’s most powerful classical supercomputers in solving a complex magnetic materials simulation problem with relevance to materials discovery. The new landmark peer-reviewed paper, “Beyond-Classical Computation in Quantum Simulation,” validates this achievement as the world’s first and only demonstration of quantum computational supremacy on a useful problem. An international collaboration of scientists led by D-Wave performed simulations of quantum dynamics in programmable spin glasses—a computationally hard magnetic materials simulation problem with known applications to business and science—on both D-Wave’s Advantage2™ prototype annealing quantum computer and the Frontier supercomputer at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge Lab. D-Wave’s quantum computer performed a complex simulation in minutes and with a level of accuracy that would take nearly a million years using the supercomputer. In addition, it would require more than the world’s annual electricity consumption to solve this problem using the supercomputer, which is built with graphics processing unit (GPU) clusters. For decades, scientists have aspired to build a quantum computer capable of solving complex materials simulation problems beyond the reach of classical computers. D-Wave's advancements in quantum hardware have made it possible for its annealing quantum computers to process these types of problems for the first time. Magnetic materials simulations, like those conducted in this work, use computer models to study how tiny particles not visible to the human eye react to external factors. Magnetic materials are widely used in medical imaging, electronics, superconductors, electrical networks, sensors, and motors. This is an incredibly important achievement. Please join us in congratulating the D-Wave team and our global collaborators on this remarkable milestone. It’s a significant moment for the quantum computing industry.
