Google Seeks University Proposals for Early Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing

The post-quantum EO is an important milestone. Now it’s time to get to work

Sắc lệnh hành pháp 14409 của Mỹ yêu cầu các cơ quan liên bang và nhà thầu phải chuyển sang mã hóa hậu lượng tử (PQC) vào năm 2030 và xác thực hậu lượng tử vào năm 2031, nhằm ngăn chặn các cuộc tấn công "thu thập giờ đây giải mã sau". Cloudflare khuyến nghị cần làm rõ tiêu chuẩn "chuyển đổi", ưu tiên khả năng thích ứng mật mã (crypto agility) và thúc đẩy sự thống nhất toàn cầu về thuật toán NIST để tránh phân mảnh.

Lập trình viên nên đọc bài này để hiểu cách chuyển đổi sang các giải pháp mã hóa chống lượng tử (post-quantum) không chỉ là một yêu cầu pháp lý mà là một chiến lược bảo mật cấp hệ thống, giúp bảo vệ ứng dụng của bạn trước các mối đe dọa tương lai từ máy tính lượng tử trong thời gian ngắn nhất.

Application Period Open: Fraunhofer Seeks Industry Partners for Quantum Computing Use Cases

Fraunhofer's INQUBATOR quantum computing consulting and testing center has opened an application period for industry partners to submit use cases by August 31, 2026. At least four selected projects will receive approximately 10 months of collaborative support, including access to quantum hardware from multiple international providers, tailored consulting, and commercialization planning. No prior quantum computing knowledge or proprietary hardware is required. The initiative is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space and currently has active use cases in medicine, cybersecurity, insurance, and automotive sectors.

Millisecond coherence times in gigahertz-frequency mechanical oscillators

Researchers achieved millisecond-scale phonon coherence times in gigahertz-frequency mechanical oscillators using micro-fabricated high-overtone bulk acoustic-wave resonators (μHBARs) made from crystalline quartz. By combining non-invasive Brillouin-based laser spectroscopy with materials analysis, they identified subsurface damage, lattice distortions, and elemental impurities at crystal surfaces as the dominant source of phonon decoherence. An optimized polishing process removed the compromised surface layer, yielding a tenfold reduction in surface losses and Q factors exceeding 247 million at 12 GHz, corresponding to phonon coherence times of 6.2 ms. The study confirms negligible dephasing in these devices and proposes a path toward coherence times beyond 100 ms, with applications in quantum transduction, quantum memories, and circuit quantum electrodynamics.

QuTech Releases Tuna-17 Superconducting Quantum Computer Through Quantum Inspire

QuTech has released Tuna-17, a 17-qubit superconducting quantum computer developed at TU Delft, now freely accessible worldwide via the Quantum Inspire cloud platform. It is the third processor in the Tuna family (following Tuna-5 and Tuna-9), featuring 24 tunable couplers, a universal gate set, and mid-circuit measurements to support quantum error correction experiments and advanced NISQ algorithms. Built across a fully European supply chain involving TNO, Orange Quantum Systems, Qblox, Delft Circuits, and QuantWare, Tuna-17 emphasizes open architecture and interoperability. The platform allows over 100,000 shots per job with no usage caps, automatic self-calibration, and continuous performance reporting. The team is already developing the next processor, Tuna-28.

Dr Ilana Wisby joins Cambridge Innovation Capital as Entrepreneur in Residence

Cambridge Innovation Capital (CIC) has appointed Dr Ilana Wisby, founding CEO of Oxford Quantum Circuits (OQC), as Entrepreneur in Residence. During her seven years at OQC, Wisby launched Europe's first Quantum Computing as a Service product, delivered 32-qubit systems into commercial data centers, achieved a 55x valuation increase, and raised over $100 million in funding. In her new role, she will work within CIC's deep tech team to explore real-world quantum computing applications and help translate scientific research into commercial ventures. CIC's EIR programme connects experienced deep tech executives with high-potential IP and founders to accelerate commercialization.

IQM to Deliver Quantum Computer for Europe’s LUMI AI Factory

IQM Quantum Computers has been selected to deliver the IQM Halocene H4 quantum computer to the LUMI AI Factory at CSC – IT Center for Science in Finland. The system, named LUMI-IQ, will be delivered in 2027 with a 150-qubit QPU and will integrate into the LUMI supercomputer infrastructure. It combines quantum error correction with NISQ qubits and will support hybrid HPC and AI workloads. Funded jointly by EuroHPC, Finland, Czechia, Norway, and Poland, the contract value is roughly equal to IQM's total 2025 revenue. The system will evolve through multiple upgrade phases toward fault-tolerant quantum computing, making it Europe's most powerful quantum computer within a world-leading research environment.
