Under NIS2 and DORA, regulated entities must keep cryptography policies that track the state of the art and advances in codebreaking. The EU's 2030 and 2035 post-quantum dates remain recommendations, and the proposed NIS2 amendment has not passed.
The cabinet expects a quantum computer able to break public-key encryption between 2029 and 2035. Ministries are to fund the migration from existing budgets at first. The cabinet will adjust its ambitions if it cannot find the money.
Allies approved NATO's first quantum technology roadmap on July 30. In its public summary, NATO dated activities through 2029, from sea trials of quantum navigation sensors to an Alliance quantum standards roadmap.
The Delft team tested its leakage reduction unit in error-correction experiments on five and seven physical qubits, with no runs discarded. The authors wrote that further research is required at larger code distances and for other codes.
Qblox and Riverlane timed the full round trip from error check to correction on commercial hardware at 6.886 to 11.886 microseconds. They emulated the qubit signals and connected no quantum processor.
Fujitsu put tin-vacancy centers into photonic chips that run at about 1.55 kelvin and, in testing, can be used through its software platform. It gave no qubit count, gate fidelity, coherence time, or entanglement rate.
Regulators in five countries have acted or warned against products sold on the word "quantum." Generic claims about real technology get case-by-case scrutiny at most. Companies with real results face the same independent tests as everyone else.
QuiX said Carina has four computational photonic qubits and is built for customer data centers. The company wrote that Carina is set to demonstrate universality, discards runs that lose photons, and keeps its detectors in cryostats.
In measurement-device-independent QKD, an untrusted relay makes every measurement, so the detector attacks demonstrated on commercial systems no longer work. Researchers have still taken full keys through a flawed transmitter. Users also give up key rate.
Shenzhen researchers reported logical operations on two logical qubits stored in phosphorus atoms. SQC described a processor with 11 physical qubits. QuTech, RIKEN, Intel, Diraq, and imec published results from quantum dots made in labs and in industrial fabs.
