@informaq.bsky.socialIonQ estimates a 20,000-qubit quantum machine could theoretically break Bitcoin's secp256k1 encryption within 26 days, raising critical questions about quantum computing's implications for cryptographic security.
@informaq.bsky.socialIonQ partners with Congruity360 in an $8.18M quantum-safe network agreement, advancing post-quantum cryptography infrastructure and security solutions.
@informaq.bsky.socialFINMA released Guidance 05/2026 signaling quantum-enabled cyber risks are no longer theoretical. Financial institutions must begin preparation now to address emerging quantum threats.

The security of practical quantum key distribution (QKD) systems is fundamentally constrained by vulnerabilities of single-photon detectors.
@informaq.bsky.socialTwin-field QKD network demonstrated over 127 km without active phase stabilization. Using low-cost SPADs in a Sagnac architecture, researchers achieved 93% interference visibility and practical quantum key generation for multiple users.
