Altera said in September that Agilex 3 and Agilex 5 devices with post-quantum secure boot were shipping, without naming the algorithm. Its October software documentation lists ML-DSA and an LMS and ML-DSA hybrid, with ECDSA as the default.
The Novo Nordisk Foundation says the Copenhagen plant will offer wafer fabrication to quantum vendors worldwide on commercial terms. The partners named no customers, qubit type, production volume, or cost.
Eric Lu posted a 130-digit prime factor of the 260-digit challenge number. The other factor is also prime. Lu later described a GPU run of the number field sieve that took about 4,900 GPU-days and cost about $400,000.
G7 cybersecurity agencies addressed decision-makers rather than technical teams, set five priorities from raising awareness to writing PQC into cybersecurity requirements, and warned that organizations that delay could be excluded from contracting opportunities, including public procurement.
EMVCo's Security Working Group puts a code-breaking quantum computer at least two decades away and sets no migration date for chip cards. The authors built their timeline on three qubit counts, one of which IBM gives in logical qubits.
StarkWare spent 10,000 satoshis from a lock built on hash-based signatures, in a Bitcoin transaction mined by MARA Pool. A flaw in the original script, which left one of two signature rounds unenforced, was fixed on October 7.
IBM's two joined cryogenic cells reached 4 kelvin in under five days with no processors inside. News outlets reported a temperature under simulated load and a chip-link fidelity figure that IBM did not include in its release or technical blog.
Harvard researchers protected a silicon-vacancy qubit in diamond with a continuous acoustic drive in place of microwave pulses. They ran the experiment on a test chip without the phononic cavities meant to link qubits in a future network.
Sweden's government set five goals for quantum technology to 2036 without naming any sums of money. It intends to carry out its measures through agency assignments, among other means. It also pointed organizations to NCSC's post-quantum migration recommendations.
Five physicists calculated that an Andreev qubit in a superposition should produce an oscillating supercurrent with no applied voltage. In simulations described in their preprint, they read one test state from that current with infidelities of 0.15% to 0.48%.
