Chinese Scientists: We Used Quantum Computer To Hack Military-Grade Encryption (thequantuminsider.com)
Chinese scientists have successfully mounted what they claim is the world’s first effective attack using a quantum computer on widely used encryption methods, according to a report from the South China Morning Post (SCMP). The researchers did acknowledge that limitations would hamper — at least for now — a full-on quantum hack.

Post-Quantum Cryptography Basics (matduggan.com)
Every few years I will be on a team and the topic of quantum computing will come up. Inevitably the question will get asked "well is there something we are supposed to be doing about that or is it just a looming threat?" We will all collectively stare at each other and shrug, then resume writing stuff exactly like we were writing it before.

Quandoom: A port of DOOM for a quantum computer (github.com/Lumorti)
It is a well-known fact that all useful computational devices ever created are capable of running DOOM. Despite decades of active research, there is yet to be developed a single practical use for quantum computers. This changes today, with the release of Quandoom, a port of the first level of DOOM designed for a quantum computer, given as a single QASM file, using a mere 70,000 qubits and 80 million gates.

How we threw 10 quantum bit designs in the trash (vidnova.com)
Our company’s mission is to showcase the beauty of deep tech. Deep tech companies, such as those in quantum technology, biotech, and AI, build upon scientific theories and concepts to create practical applications. While these practical benefits would be the primary focus in sales, for branding we love to tap into the science and nature behind the technology to evoke emotions and create a personal connection, as we are all part of nature.
