- Light and mirrors move large quantum computers closer to realityNature, Published online: 19 October 2026; doi:10. 1038/d41586-026-03237-2 Scientists improve photon-collecting device that could be used to connect multiple quantum-computing arrays.NatureSCIENCE
- Physicists create a bizarre new quantum state called a fractional fermi seaPhysicists have discovered a strange new state of quantum matter in which ultracold atoms defy familiar organizational rules, forming a highly excited yet surprisingly orderly configuration called a "fractional Fermi sea.ScienceDailySCIENCE
- Crypto Firms Launch Quantum Alliance as 6 Million Bitcoin Sit ExposedThe nine-member group, modeled on the Internet Engineering Task Force, aims to set open standards for testing quantum-resistance claims as forecasts place the first practical attack in the late 2020s.DecryptCRYPTO
- Satoshi-era bitcoin faces a bigger quantum threat after Google’s new Willow breakthroughGoogle says its Willow chip can prepare the special quantum states needed for advanced calculations with about 40 times fewer errors, reducing one of the hardware bottlenecks behind any future attempt to crack bitcoin wallets.CoinDeskCRYPTO
- Quantum Alliance forms amid warnings 6.4 million bitcoin face future quantum threatNine crypto companies launched the Quantum Alliance to jointly prepare for quantum attacks, but they disagree on when the threat will arrive and whether vulnerable BTC should be frozen.CoinDeskCRYPTO
- A quantum highway just one atom high could transform superconductorsScientists discovered that atomic steps just one atom high can guide quantum vortices through superconductors, making them move more than 1,000 times more easily in one direction than another.ScienceDailySCIENCE
- Starknet opens vote on potential Ethereum L2 exit over quantum risksStarknet is asking STRK holders whether to explore becoming an independent layer-1 blockchain to reduce its dependence on Ethereum’s quantum-security upgrade timeline.CointelegraphCRYPTO
- How Zcash Plans to Hide Your Keys From AI and Quantum AttacksZakura, a Zcash full node developer, says it expects hash-based signatures to land in Zcash in January, and is rolling out a privacy tool for rotating transparent addresses this week.DecryptCRYPTO
- Justin Sun says Tron’s post-quantum cryptography has gone live on testnet“We’re ready to bring quantum resistance to mainnet at any time,” Sun said in a post on X.CointelegraphCRYPTO
- Zcash developers set January target for quantum-resistant payments after ‘bunker mode’ scareThe plan concerns public payments, where about seven in 10 ZEC sit. A separate wallet tool would keep balance checks from revealing which addresses belong together.CoinDeskCRYPTO
- Morning Minute: Ethereum Researcher Says AI May Break Crypto Encryption Before QuantumJustin Drake is calling for crypto holders to start calmly planning for “Bunker Mode. " But reactions so far haven’t been too calm.DecryptCRYPTO
- Ethereum Researcher Says AI May Break Encryption Before Quantum DoesEthereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake urged holders to calmly move funds to unused addresses, warning that AI-driven math could break crypto signatures before quantum computers do.DecryptCRYPTO
