Researchers evaluated quantum-classical hybrid machine learning for early lung cancer detection using DNA fragmentomics and methylation biomarkers, finding quantum kernel models achieved competitive performance and improved specificity in some cases.
Python's pyca/cryptography library now supports ML-KEM and ML-DSA, the NIST-standard post-quantum key-establishment and digital-signature primitives, available via pip.
The first sign that quantum computing has broken modern cryptography probably won't be a splashy theft of Satoshi Nakamoto's dormant Bitcoin. It could just be a wave of unrelated crypto wallet breaches with no trace of how an attacker did it, according to the founder of b…
IonQ (IONQ) is a quantum computing company that could be a big winner beyond the AI chip boom. As classical chips become more expensive to improve, hardware developers, cloud platforms, and cybersecurity providers are racing to control the next layer of enterprise computing.
CNBC host and long-time crypto critic Jim Cramer is out on Bitcoin— again. This time it's over fears of the coming quantum computing threat, and it sounds like he might be out for good.
CNBC personality Jim Cramer plans to sell his Bitcoin holdings due to fears about quantum computing, as some cryptocurrency investors celebrated, referencing the popular 'inverse Cramer' meme.
Egypt won the chairmanship of the AI Governance Working Group and the Quantum Computing Working Group under the Arab Permanent Committee for AI and Emerging Technologies, reflecting Arab trust in Egypt’s growing role in future technologies.
China is expanding the application of quantum technologies, including precision sensors and computer simulations, across its national power grid after a successful 18-month trial in Hefei.
IBM CEO Arvind Krishna expects quantum computing to contribute to revenue and profit by 2028 or 2029. Companies are racing to commercialize the technology, which has implications for the crypto industry.
Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview model uncovered a flaw in the proposed HAWK digital-signature scheme that effectively halves its smallest key strength, undermining one of the candidates to replace current web and banking signatures in a post-quantum world.
This position paper argues that quantum program generation must prioritize mathematical validity over probabilistic scaling, a paradigm often applied in natural language AI. It highlights that quantum circuits demand strict adherence to constraints, making post-hoc error …
Researchers have developed a quantum-hybrid solution for wildfire detection from satellite imagery, using a U-Net image segmentation model with a variational quantum circuit. The model outperformed classical U-Net results and showed potential for quantum machine learning …
Chinese quantum scientist Pan Jianwei has won the United Nations' top fundamental science prize for his work in quantum computation and communications. He is recognised for his seminal contributions to large-scale secure quantum communications and scalable quantum computa…
Researchers combined AI with quantum computing to generate novel peptides for drug discovery, showing improved accuracy, especially with limited data.

Quantum computers may break Bitcoin's cryptography sooner than expected, posing a threat to older wallets.
Researchers have developed IonSense-QKG, a metadata framework designed to streamline the discovery of public lithium-ion battery datasets for hybrid quantum-classical machine learning workflows.
IQM, a Finnish quantum computing company, went public via SPAC merger but saw lukewarm share prices. CEO Jan Goetz acknowledges the future of quantum tech remains uncertain.
Microsoft plans to transition critical products and services to post-quantum cryptography by 2029.
Quantum computers will soon break public-key cryptography, making encrypted data vulnerable. Organizations should start migrating to quantum-resistant cryptography, prioritizing credentials.
Infleqtion's premium valuation leaves little room for error due to its high EV/forward sales multiple and execution risks. The company's differentiated neutral atom quantum technology is compelling, but it lags behind IonQ in commercial traction and scale.
A new paper questions Microsoft's claims about their quantum computing chip, Majorana 1. The critique argues that the company did not conclusively demonstrate a working topological qubit.
Physicist Henry Legg challenges Microsoft's claims of a topological qubit, a key component of its Majorana 2 chip. Microsoft rejects the claims, defending its results.
Trump's executive orders aim to accelerate the US transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2031. Experts praise the move, but warn Bitcoin is not ready for a post-quantum future.
President Trump signed an executive order setting deadlines for federal agencies to move to post-quantum cryptography. Agencies must migrate key establishment by 2030 and digital signatures by 2031.
President Trump signed two executive orders to accelerate the US quantum computing and post-quantum encryption timelines, which may impact Bitcoin's security. The orders aim to deploy a scientifically relevant quantum computer by 2028 and adopt post-quantum cryptography b…
