Quantum computing is often framed through extremes: either as an imminent disruption to every system, or as a technology too distant to matter. In our interview with Professor Giancarlo Gatti, we take a more grounded view: What primitives does quantum mechanics actually provide?

Giancarlo explains how quantum systems can support privacy-preserving communication, including user privacy and data privacy. We also cover Q-Day, RSA, post-quantum security, benchmarking, HHL, and why quantum should complement classical systems rather than replace them.

The full conversation is a grounded look at what quantum cryptography can actually enable, what is still missing, and how industry should think about the road ahead. Watch the full interview with Professor Giancarlo Gatti:

@Gatgian finally someone saying what needs to be said. the hype cycle around quantum has been exhausting honestly

@Gatgian i feel like quantum gets the same treatment as AI did a few years ago. everyone either panicking or dismissing it completely

@Gatgian quantum's promise isn't in being revolutionary but incremental augmenting existing systems with new maths

@Gatgian the extremes framing is so real. its either the end of encryption or its useless depending on who you ask

@Gatgian hmm like do most people even understand what a quantum primitive is before they start making predictions lol

@Gatgian what primitives does quantum mechanics actually provide is such a good framing for this conversation. most people skip straight past that question

Quantum computing is often framed as a threat to crypto, but the risk is long-term, not imminent. Today’s networks remain secure, yet institutions are already planning for future cryptographic upgrades.

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.

We tend to view reality through a materialist lens, assuming everything is ultimately made of matter. But consciousness remains one of the biggest challenges for that worldview. Ivette Fuentes, a professor of quantum mechanics, suggests that the mind may exist in a different "arena" from the physical world.⁠ ⁠Watch the full interview:

MUST WATCH!!!! John Preskill John Preskill- the world's leading authority on quantum computing - sits down with Brian Greene in an interview from just two months ago. Expect major drawdowns in the hype-driven names: $IONQ $RGTI $LAES $QUBT $QBTS Preskill, who serves as Director of Caltech’s Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), was also named 2025 Academic Pioneer in Quantum by the Quantum World Congress. Key takeaways from his remarks: “A realistic timeline for quantum computing is 20 years.” “He has amplified the hype around quantum supremacy” This is a reality check, and it’s going to hit hard. Full interview available now on YouTube.

Quantum computing and Bitcoin is a nuanced conversation. The risk isn't uniform across the network, and the game theory around how a quantum capability would actually be used matters just as much as the technology itself. Richard Carback of Postquant labs, joined BitGo's High Roller Summit to break it down.

INFLEQTION'S CTO SAYS QUANTUM COULD BE A BIGGER REVOLUTION THAN AI Why he thinks quantum is where AI was in 2016 Pranav Gokhale says quantum today feels a lot like AI did around 2016 or 2017. Back then, AI was mostly used to serve you the right ad or recommend your next movie. Nobody would have guessed that 10 years later it would be helping make new physics breakthroughs. So he says you have to stay humble about predicting what quantum computers will be used for a decade from now. But he sees no reason it can't be as big as AI, or bigger. "AI is probably the apex of what you can do with that digital revolution. And quantum is an entirely new revolution. It works entirely different." Over a 50-year view, he thinks quantum could matter as much as computing has since the 1970s.

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:
