Can you put a quantum computer in a satellite, car, or even laptop? It’s possible with diamond-based quantum technologies that work at room temperature. Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center qubits challenge the notion that quantum computing is confined to massive data centers. Such mass-deployable quantum computers and sensors can be used in medical diagnostics, satellite imaging, and anywhere local inference is useful.

2025/09/17

For the first time, Shor’s Algorithm is running on logical qubits! The team at Infleqtion used their Sqale neutral atom processor to accomplish the feat. While the setup only uses six logical qubits, and we’re still in the range of factoring 15 or 21, this is both a proof of concept and a proof of the need for post-quantum cryptography (PQC). We discuss the aggressive 2.5:1 physical-to-logical ratio of Sqale, which could lead to hundreds of logical qubits by 2028. Also, find out why Shor’s Algorithm

When NIST released the first post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, it set off a domino effect that will hopefully result in protecting the world from the quantum computing threat. Now that we’re beginning to migrate and trust our data to lattice-based cryptography, it’s a good time to examine how ML-KEM works and get some hints about how to implement it well.
