The shift to post-quantum encryption is on track to become a business and compliance obligation in coming years, regardless of uncertainties around the date of “Q-Day,” experts tell CRN.

NVIDIA, the AI boom's $4 trillion chipmaker, is now betting on quantum computing—despite doubts about how soon the technology will pay off.

Many governments and tech companies are investing heavily in quantum technologies. In New Zealand, the recently announced Institute for Advanced Technology is also envisioned to focus on this area of research.

Quantum entanglement – once dismissed by Albert Einstein as "spooky action at a distance" – has long captured the public imagination and puzzled even seasoned scientists.

The team achieved a record-breaking coherence time of 12.6 seconds—the longest ever for hyperfine qubits in an optical tweezer array. They also maintained an imaging survival rate of 99.99%, meaning atoms remained trapped and readable for long durations. These are critical metrics in building any scalable quantum system.

Quantum entanglement occurs when two subatomic particles become linked in such a way that their properties remain connected, no matter how far apart they are. A change to one particle seems to instantaneously influence the other, even if they are separated by billions of light-years.
