PassPorts Please! China expands travel restrictions on AI researchers.

Top AI engineers and researchers are being asked to surrender their passports to their employers. China's government has classified frontier AI as a strategic national asset. https://thenextweb.com/news/china-expands-travel-curbs-private-ai-talent

This is similar to what we will see in the Quantum industry as detailed in this TechAptitude post. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/quantum-technologies-and-geo-politics?r=vn8b8

Weekend Reading on TechAptitude! One of our most popular articles ever >> Satellite Collision Avoidance!

Get details about how today's Satellite Collision Avoidance Systems and the three-stage process of screening, probabilistic risk assessment and autonomous maneuver planning or “mitigation”. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/satellite-collision-avoidance-technology #Space #Satellites #CollisionAvoidance #Conjunction #TechAptitude #AI #ML #Automation #GPS #NASA #SpaceCraft #SSA

Weekend Reading from TechAptitude!

Get to know new Cryptography Standards (FIPS 20-3, FIPS 204, FIPS 205, FIPS 206) developed by NIST to withstand quantum attacks and prevent the so-called “Q-Day”. Q-Day is an estimate of the point in time when quantum computers will be able to reliably break existing RSA-2048 cryptography. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/quantum-technologies-nist-drives #PQC #NIST #Cryptography #Q_Day #PostQuantumCryptography #Quantum #Encryption #CryptographyAlgorithms #TechAptitude

Check out this TechAptitude Post on "Quantum Networking Ready For Prime Time" which dives into how Quantum networking leverages the unique properties in quantum mechanics of superposition and entanglement to transmit quantum information (qubits) between devices.

Quantum networks hold the potential to enable fundamentally new capabilities, including ultra-secure communications. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/quantum-networking-ready-for-prime #Quantum #QuantumNetworking #QuantumComputing #Superposition #Entanglement #Security #Communications #TechAptitude

Well, it’s good that someone is drawing a line in the Crypto sand.

Google accelerates its readiness timeline to prepare for “Q-day” with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration to 2029. Reminder: Q-day = the date when quantum computing becomes operational and is powerful enough to break the digital signatures that secure the Internet, crypto (blockchain + Ethereum), and just about every other Information system in use today.

The Bitcoin crypto network relies on ECDSA elliptic curve signatures. https://techaptitude.substack.com/p/ecdsa-cryptographys-role-in-securing With an exposed crypto signature public key, a quantum computer could derive the private key. And then, the crypto assets would be freely available to a hacker.

Android 17 will integrate ML-DSA, an algorithm standardized by the NIST to secure digital signatures. https://security.googleblog.com/2026/03/post-quantum-cryptography-in-android.html
