Quantum computers struggle because their qubits are incredibly easy to disrupt, especially during calculations. A new experiment shows how to perform quantum operations while continuously fixing errors, rather than pausing protection to compute. The team used a method called lattice surgery to split a protected qubit into two entangled ones without losing control. This breakthrough moves quantum machines closer to scaling up into something truly powerful.

Dus….
71% van de Rijksoverheidsorganisaties is nog niet begonnen met de voorbereidingen om zich te beschermen tegen de dreiging
van #quantumcomputers . Dat zegt de #AlgemeneRekenkamer in het rapport “Focus op quantum bij de rijksoverheid” dat 4-2-2026 is verschenen
Volgens de #AIVD kan ‘#QDay (de dag waarop kwaadwillenden met quantumcomputers hedendaagse cryptografie kunnen kraken) al in 2030 gebeuren…over 4 jaar.

Wow, #OpenSSH is now warning you if your terminal session might be decrypted by #QuantumComputers in the future.

On the off-chance this technology magically succeeds unlike all the other unfounded hype out there, we will have much bigger problems than people in the future knowing how many times I needed to clear the cache before this damn website would work properly.
A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing many qubits to be read at once. The team has already demonstrated working arrays with dozens and even hundreds of cavities. The approach could eventually support massive quantum networks with millions of qubits.
Quantum computers need extreme cold to work, but the very systems that keep them cold also create noise that can destroy fragile quantum information. Scientists in Sweden have now flipped that problem on its head by building a tiny quantum refrigerator that actually uses noise to drive cooling instead of fighting it. By carefully steering heat at unimaginably small scales, the device can act as a refrigerator, heat engine, or energy amplifier inside quantum circuits.
Quantum technologies are cutting-edge systems that can process, transfer, or store information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, particularly a phenomenon known as quantum entanglement. Entanglement entails a correlation between two or more distant particles, whereby measuring the state of one also defines the state of the others.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo's Faculty of Science and the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) are prioritizing collaboration over competition to advance quantum computer development and the field of quantum information. They are doing this through Open Quantum Design (OQD), a non-profit organization that boasts the world's first open-source, full stack quantum computer.
