Why the World Can’t Agree on Hybrid PQC Deployment
Germany expects hybrid key exchange. Australia expects pure ML-KEM. The US sets a date for dropping the classical half. What to build when the…
Cryogenic Infrastructure: The First Decision in a Superconducting Build
Three cryogenic constraints set the ceiling on any superconducting quantum build: fridge lead time, the helium-3 supply chain, and the I/O wiring wall. Sequence…
How to Choose a Quantum Control System
Control electronics decide whether a qubit chip ever computes. A selection sequence for engineers: latency budget, channel count, modality shortlist, and the supply constraint…
The Quantum OS and Orchestration Layer
Two of the five software layers in a quantum system come free with your hardware choices. Three do not, and two of those three…
Preparing a Facility for a Quantum Computer
A quantum computer is a building problem before it is a physics problem. What the site survey measures, which four sign-offs the schedule depends…
What It Takes to Build a Quantum Computer
A quantum computer is assembled by six engineering trades, only one of which is quantum physics. Here is what each of them does, and…
Quantum Hardware Costs More to Operate Than to Buy
The hardware quote is the smaller half of the number. Here is how the five-year cost of a quantum computer breaks down, and where…
Following a Hybrid Job Through a Quantum-HPC Stack
A QPU next to a supercomputer is a demonstration. A QPU inside the job queue is a resource. Here is what sits between the…
Who Should Own Post-Quantum Migration
Post-quantum migration programs stall on ownership, not technology. Four tests for naming the accountable executive, and the mandate, budget, and authority the role needs…
What Crypto Holders and Builders Should Do Now
No quantum computer can break blockchain signatures today. The published migration deadlines still bind. Here is what to do without waiting for anyone.
