A “quantum bath” puts quantum entanglement on autopilotPhysicists have demonstrated a new way to entangle distant quantum bits without the constant measurements and active control normally required.ScienceDailySCIENCE
IBM quantum computer solves classically intractable problem in 15 minutesIBM and University of Chicago researchers have completed a quantum computation that leading classical methods could not practically reproduce.ScienceDailySCIENCE
Ripple is preparing XRP Ledger for quantum computers before ‘Q-Day’ arrivesAn Anthropic model cut the work needed to break a leading post-quantum signature candidate by a factor of 67 million last month, while Bitcoin and Ethereum published their own migration plans this week.CoinDeskCRYPTO
Save hundreds on a TCL mini-LED TV with quantum dots and high refresh rateAmazon and Best Buy have the TCL QM7L mini-LED TV on sale for as low as $797. 99 for the 55-inch model, a $200 discount from the usual price.The VergeTECHNOLOGY
Bitcoin Completes First Experimental Quantum-Safe Transaction, Starkware SaysThe transaction used Bitcoin’s existing rules to protect funds from a future quantum attack without requiring a network upgrade.DecryptCRYPTO
Ethereum developers propose first step to protect ETH staking from quantum attacksA draft proposal would allow validators to deposit with quantum-resistant keys, then permanently stop accepting the format the network runs on today.CoinDeskCRYPTO
Banks, regulators join quantum-resistant crypto transfer pilotParticipating banks will test post-quantum wallets and onchain transfers while regulators from Abu Dhabi, Bhutan and Malta initially observe.CointelegraphCRYPTO
MIT physicists discover electrons rebuilding like ice inside a quantum materialMIT physicists found that two electronic phases inside the same quantum material emerge through surprisingly different mechanisms—one smoothly and the other in expanding pockets resembling growing ice crystals.ScienceDailySCIENCE
Tiny quantum engines reveal useful energy hiding in “waste heat”A tiny machine made from just an atom and particles of light may sound impossibly simple, but it raises a surprisingly difficult question: what counts as heat, and what energy can still do useful work?ScienceDailySCIENCE
World’s first superconducting quantum heat engine could help unlock massive quantum computersA tiny superconducting engine has successfully converted heat near absolute zero into useful work, demonstrating the first cyclic quantum heat engine of its kind.ScienceDailySCIENCE
Ethereum Foundation pivots away from Poseidon in post-quantum planAdvances in compact proofs have erased Poseidon’s previous performance advantage, according to researcher Justin Drake.CointelegraphCRYPTO
Building a practical path to post-quantum cryptographyQuantum computing has alternated between breakthrough darling and overhyped promise in technology circles. Its powerful new capabilities come with a threat to break current cryptography, but for business leaders navigating the noise, the signal should be clear: post-quantum…MIT Technology ReviewTECHNOLOGY
