Alice & Bob's new count is about a quarter of its 2024 estimate. The authors assumed cat qubits that keep their value for about 100 years. Researchers have measured up to 22 seconds under full control.
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.
Weiqiang Wen and Jinwei Zheng proved, for quantum computers, an equivalence between Module-LWE over the ring family ML-KEM uses and a new structured problem. They presented no algorithm that solves either problem and no attack.
Azure CTO Mark Russinovich cited quantum research progress and U.S. and French government actions. In its 2025 roadmap, Microsoft had aimed to complete the transition by 2033 and to enable early adoption by 2029.
An ANSSI official told a Paris conference that the agency would stop certifying products without quantum-resistant encryption from 2027, Reuters reported. In its written guidance, ANSSI ties that year to qualification and advises against non-PQC purchases after 2030.
André Schrottenloher released circuits and code for the step repeated 28 times in an attack on Bitcoin's signature curve. Craig Gidney, a Google Quantum AI co-author of the March study, wrote that such work should be published openly.
Silicon spin qubits now come from 300 mm lines at imec, Intel, and STMicroelectronics. No maker has yet shown a fab supplying enriched silicon, qubits uniform enough to tune automatically at scale, or control electronics within a million-qubit power budget.
