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.

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.

America is going (Q)uantum President Trump signs two quantum Executive Orders: 1. Protecting U.S. quantum research from foreign threats: Strengthens counterintelligence efforts (FBI and intelligence community) against espionage (e.g., by China). It also directs the Departments of Defense and Energy to build and host a quantum computer for scientific discovery and tasks Commerce with plans to expand federal investments in quantum companies. 2. Accelerating post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration: Bolsters federal efforts to transition to quantum-resistant encryption standards to mitigate risks from future “Q-day” when powerful quantum computers could break current public-key cryptography.

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.

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.

$Why quantum theory could have a fractal structure: explained in 83 minutes. The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. In the latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality of counterfactuals: the physics of what could have happened but did not. Inspired by chaos theory and the fractal structure widespread in atmospheric physics, Palmer has developed a new underlying structure for quantum theory, with radical implications for our fundamental principles of quantum physics; the limits of quantum computation; and perhaps even the search for quantum gravity. Watch on my YouTube channel, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!$

Colorado is a national leader on quantum. And we continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in quantum. We held a Quantum Summit at the Governor’s mansion with leaders from across our state — our leadership is being recognized at the federal level with Colorado’s designation as a TechHub for quantum. We are proud of this significant recognition, which stemmed from a competitive national process, and we expect an equally successful Phase 2 application, unlocking up to $70 million in federal resources for the region. To further boost quantum technologies here in Colorado we’re excited to pursue legislation that will provide meaningful incentives to support Colorado as a leader in quantum.

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.

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)

$IonQ Tennessee just allocated $20M to accelerate quantum computing - 🧵 Governor Bill Lee’s FY27 budget includes funding specifically designed to attract federal and private investment in quantum, targeting advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and logistics sectors. Why this matters: State-level quantum funding signals a shift from pure research to economic deployment. Tennessee isn’t funding university labs - they’re building infrastructure to attract quantum companies and create high-wage jobs. Tennessee already has Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the world’s premier quantum research facilities. Adding $20M in state support creates a complete ecosystem: research capability, government backing, workforce development, and commercial deployment pathways. The timing is perfect: Quantum companies with deployable systems can now tap into state partnerships, regional contracts, and workforce programs. This creates real commercialization opportunities beyond federal research grants. For context, IonQ already works with Oak Ridge and has the commercial systems ready to deploy. But this funding isn’t just about one company - it’s about Tennessee positioning itself as THE quantum hub in the Southeast, competing with Colorado, Maryland, and California. What to watch: When states start competing for quantum companies with actual budget allocations, it validates that quantum computing is becoming an economic sector, not just a science project. Expect more states to follow Tennessee’s lead in 2026. The quantum industry is transitioning from “interesting research” to “strategic economic investment” at the state government level. That’s a meaningful milestone. 🎯 #QuantumComputing #Tennessee #Innovation #IONQ #EconomicPolicy #TechIndustry

$IonQ Tennessee just allocated $20M to accelerate quantum computing - 🧵 Governor Bill Lee’s FY27 budget includes funding specifically designed to attract federal and private investment in quantum, targeting advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and logistics sectors. Why this matters: State-level quantum funding signals a shift from pure research to economic deployment. Tennessee isn’t funding university labs - they’re building infrastructure to attract quantum companies and create high-wage jobs. Tennessee already has Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the world’s premier quantum research facilities. Adding $20M in state support creates a complete ecosystem: research capability, government backing, workforce development, and commercial deployment pathways. The timing is perfect: Quantum companies with deployable systems can now tap into state partnerships, regional contracts, and workforce programs. This creates real commercialization opportunities beyond federal research grants. For context, IonQ already works with Oak Ridge and has the commercial systems ready to deploy.

BITCOIN RAILS #34: Bitcoin’s Security & Quantum Risks—and the Future of Satoshi’s Coins | with Jameson Lopp Jameson Lopp “Most people don’t think about security until it’s too late,” says the Casa co-founder and CSO. One of the most prolific thought-leaders in Bitcoin security and privacy, there are few people who understand the nuances of Bitcoin security quite as deeply - not to mention the OPSEC practices required to protect against wrench attacks, for instance, which are rising globally as Bitcoin price increases. More recently, Lopp has turned his attention to mitigating Bitcoin’s quantum vulnerabilities, including market risks associated with quantum-vulnerable Satoshi’s Coins + longer-term strategies for quantum-hardening of Bitcoin addresses long term. In this special episode of Bitcoin Rails, we cover: - Lopp’s experiences designing self-custody products at both BitGo and Casa - The swatting attack he suffered in 2017, and the radical steps he’s taken to secure his home location since - The ‘quantum computing’ challenge for Bitcoin and its impacts on Satoshi’s Coins - How the network may respond to QCs in the face of ossification and why QC preparation may be the hardest governance test the network has ever faced 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: Quantum Computing Meets Bitcoin 00:19 – Jameson Lopp on the Bitcoin Rails 00:53 – The Quantum Threat to Bitcoin Security 06:32 – Lopp’s Path into Bitcoin & Security 12:58 – The Swatting Attack During the Block Size Wars 25:28 – Could Quantum Crack Satoshi’s Coins? 43:55 – Announcements & Sponsors Messages 45:30 – Building Bitcoin’s Quantum Resistance 47:00 – QBTC and the Push for Quantum-Resistant Bitcoin 48:43 – Why Changing Bitcoin Is So Hard 51:19 – Email Protocols, Ossification, and Bitcoin’s Future 01:01:53 – A Roadmap for Quantum Resistance
