Insider Brief
PRESS RELEASE — Alice & Bob, a leader in fault-tolerant quantum computing, has been awarded $3.9 million from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) Quantum Computing for Computational Chemistry (QC3) program to develop fault-tolerant quantum algorithms aimed at discovering rare-earth-free permanent magnets – a critical component in electric motors and turbines.
To meet their goal, Alice & Bob will strive to achieve a 10,000-fold speed-up in computing time compared to state-of-the-art classical simulations, enabling realistic material calculations within approximately one day. They will show this speed-up experimentally on Alice & Bob’s fault-tolerant quantum computers, and theoretically with resource estimates.
“Designing high-performance magnets without rare earth elements is one of the hardest problems in material science, as these materials are extremely difficult to simulate with classical computers. A hybrid approach – where classical methods compute environmental parameters and quantum computers simulate highly correlated electronic systems more accurately – could significantly accelerate the discovery of new magnetic materials.” said Juliette Peyronnet, U.S General Manager at Alice & Bob.
Alice & Bob will lead the three-year project in collaboration with Los Alamos National Laboratory, GE Vernova’s Advanced Research accelerator, and Professor Emanuel Gull (a visiting Professor at Warsaw University and a Professor at University of Michigan), leading a group that will create classical algorithms that will work in conjunction with Alice & Bob’s quantum algorithms. Los Alamos will develop tensor network tools to optimize quantum circuits, and GE Vernova’s Advanced Research accelerator will perform a technoeconomic analysis of material discovery opportunities enabled by the hybrid algorithm.
“Finding ways to prepare high quality states via tensor network optimization is a critical tool that will help develop fault-tolerant quantum algorithms applied to challenges like rare-earth-free minerals permanent magnets,” said Marco Cerezo, Los Alamos scientist and Laboratory lead on the project. “This team effort converges expertise to leverage quantum computing for an important, practical outcome.”
“Our team is excited to collaborate with this outstanding technical team and ARPA-E to evaluate how quantum computing could drive forward industrial materials design and discovery,” said Jonathan Owens, Senior Scientist – Computational Materials Physics at GE Vernova’s Advanced Research Center in Niskayuna, NY, U.S.A.
High-performance magnets underpin many technologies central to the global energy transition. Today’s dominant magnet, neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB), was discovered in the 1980s and relies on rare-earth elements and related processes whose supply chains are geographically concentrated and politically constrained.
Finding alternatives has proven difficult. The magnetic behavior of candidate materials emerges from complex quantum interactions between electrons, making accurate simulation extremely challenging for classical computers. Quantum computers, which directly model quantum systems, could allow researchers to simulate these materials far more efficiently.
If successful, the approach could accelerate the development of cheaper, more sustainable magnets for future energy and industrial technologies. The algorithm developed could also be easily adapted to solve other challenging problems in chemistry and materials science.

Insider Brief
Google researchers report that breaking the cryptographic systems underpinning most cryptocurrencies could require significantly fewer quantum resources than previously estimated, raising new urgency for a transition to post-quantum security standards.
According to the white paper released March 30 by Google Quantum AI, improved methods for compiling quantum algorithms reduce the scale of hardware needed to compromise widely used elliptic curve cryptography, a core component of blockchain security. The findings suggest that the threshold for so-called cryptographically relevant quantum computers may be closer than earlier estimates indicated.
In a blog post on the results, the team writes: “We want to raise awareness on this issue and are providing the cryptocurrency community with recommendations to improve security and stability before this is possible, including transitioning blockchains to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), which is resistant to quantum attacks.”
The study focuses on the 256-bit elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem, which serves as the backbone for digital signatures used across cryptocurrencies, secure communications and authentication systems.
According to the researchers, optimized implementations of Shor’s algorithm could solve this problem using fewer than 1,200 logical qubits and tens of millions of quantum gate operations. In an alternative configuration, the team reports that a similar computation could be achieved with slightly more qubits but fewer gate operations.
The researchers reported that these improvements represent roughly an order-of-magnitude reduction in the combined computational resources required compared with prior work. This continues a broader trend in quantum computing, where algorithmic refinements steadily lower the hardware requirements needed to perform useful tasks.
The paper further estimates that such computations could run on fewer than 500,000 physical qubits under standard assumptions about error correction and hardware performance. According to the researchers, this could allow the attack to be completed in minutes on a sufficiently advanced quantum system.
While such machines do not yet exist, the researchers argue that the shrinking resource estimates reduce the perceived buffer between current quantum capabilities and systems that could threaten existing cryptography.
Most blockchain systems rely on elliptic curve cryptography to secure transactions and verify ownership. According to the white paper, this creates a systemic vulnerability once large-scale quantum computers become available.
The researchers describe several potential attack models. “On-spend” attacks target transactions in flight, where an attacker derives a private key quickly enough to redirect funds before a transaction is confirmed. “At-rest” attacks, by contrast, target wallets with exposed public keys, particularly those that reuse addresses or remain inactive over long periods.
According to the researchers, fast quantum computing architectures — such as superconducting or photonic systems — could enable on-spend attacks within typical blockchain confirmation times. Slower architectures, including ion traps and neutral atom systems, would likely first enable at-rest attacks, where attackers have more time to extract keys.
The white paper also outlines broader risks across modern blockchain systems. According to the researchers, features such as smart contracts, proof-of-stake consensus and data availability mechanisms expand the attack surface beyond simple transaction signing.
At the same time, the researchers note that some components of blockchain systems remain resistant to quantum attacks. For example, they report that Bitcoin’s proof-of-work mechanism is not directly vulnerable to the same class of quantum algorithms that threaten digital signatures.
The study adopts a nontraditional approach to disclosure. Rather than publishing detailed quantum circuits that could serve as a blueprint for attacks, the researchers report that they used a zero-knowledge proof to validate their results.
According to the researchers, this allows independent verification of the resource estimates without revealing the specific techniques needed to carry out an attack. The approach reflects what the team describes as a shift toward responsible disclosure in quantum cryptanalysis.
The white paper indicates that overstating or understating quantum risks can both create problems. According to the researchers, inflated claims can undermine confidence in digital systems, while overly conservative estimates may delay necessary security upgrades.
The researchers present post-quantum cryptography as the primary long-term solution. According to the white paper, these cryptographic systems are designed to resist both classical and quantum attacks and are already being tested in some blockchain and internet applications.
However, the transition is expected to be complex with the researchers reporting that moving entire blockchain ecosystems to new cryptographic standards will require coordination across decentralized communities, updates to protocols, and acceptance of higher computational costs.
The paper outlines several interim measures. According to the researchers, reducing public key exposure, avoiding address reuse and implementing protective transaction mechanisms could help mitigate risks in the near term.
A particularly difficult issue involves dormant digital assets. According to the white paper, wallets with exposed public keys that are no longer actively managed cannot be upgraded to new cryptographic standards. The researchers note that a significant portion of cryptocurrency holdings fall into this category, creating a long-term vulnerability.
The study does not provide a definitive timeline for when quantum computers will reach the required scale. Instead, the researchers emphasize that both hardware advances and algorithmic improvements are steadily reducing the gap.
According to the white paper, the combination of improved algorithms, more efficient error correction and ongoing hardware development suggests that preparations for a post-quantum transition should begin immediately.
The broader implication is not that current systems are imminently at risk, but that the window for proactive mitigation may be shorter than previously assumed. According to the researchers, aligning technical, policy, and industry responses will be critical to maintaining trust in digital infrastructure as quantum computing progresses.
The researchers write: “With this work, our goal is to support the long-term health of the cryptocurrency ecosystem and blockchain technologies, which are an increasingly significant part of the digital economy. Moving forward, we hope our approach to responsible disclosure can spur an important conversation among quantum computing researchers and the broader public, and offer a model on which to build for the quantum cryptanalysis research field.”
Insider Brief
PRESS RELEASE — QuantX Labs has successfully launched its optical frequency comb into orbit, marking a major milestone in the development of the company’s TEMPO.Space optical atomic clock and bringing the world closer to the first fully operational optical atomic clock in space.
The optical frequency comb, a critical subsystem of QuantX’ s optical clock technology, was launched aboard Exotrail’s spacevan™ orbital transfer vehicle as part of QuantX’s KAIROS mission, hosted on a SpaceX launch. The mission will demonstrate the performance of the optical frequency comb in the space environment, providing critical validation for the next generation of ultra-precise space-based timing systems. QuantX Labs’ Chief Executive Officer, Professor Andre Luiten commented “Successfully demonstrating this technology in orbit represents a major step toward deploying the world’s first optical atomic clock in space.”
This initial launch with Exotrail will deliver critical in-orbit data to support an intended launch of the full TEMPO.Space optical atomic clock later this year. This initial mission will validate the performance of an optical frequency comb in space for the first time while also testing key elements of QuantX Labs’ satellite interface, including communications, mechanical, thermal and environmental systems. The mission marks an important milestone for the company, providing QuantX Labs with valuable space heritage that significantly reduces technical risk ahead of the next phase of the program.
Optical frequency combs are a Nobel Prize-winning technology that enable ultra-precise measurement of time and frequency. They are a core enabling technology for optical atomic clocks. The optical frequency comb acts as the critical bridge that translates the optical outputs of these new generation clocks into usable electronic timing signals, enabling end-users to exploit the extraordinary precision of optical atomic clocks.
This in-orbit demonstration will provide valuable operational data as QuantX Labs prepares to launch the complete TEMPO. Space optical atomic clock, which will represent the first optical atomic clock ever deployed in orbit. The Head of the Australia’s Space Agency, Enrico Palermo welcomed the mission as a significant step forward for Australia’s sovereign space capabilities “This optical frequency comb mission will take QuantX Labs a step closer to realising the full suite of capabilities it has been developing – which are designed to enhance the positioning, navigation, and timing services Australians depend on.”
Professor Luiten adding the launch marks a defining milestone for both the company and Australia’s growing leadership in advanced space technologies.
“This increased accuracy will support the next generation of positioning, navigation and timing systems, improving navigation resilience, enabling advanced space missions and supporting emerging technologies that rely on ultra-precise time synchronisation including synchronised Earth observation networks and advanced communications infrastructure.”
The mission forms part of the KAIROS program, supported by the Australian Space Agency’s Moon to Mars initiative, and delivered in collaboration with international partners, including Exotrail. Mr Palermo added “The Australian Space Agency is proud to have invested in the quantum clock technology developed by QuantX Labs, building on Australia’s rich heritage in quantum and accurate timing technologies” and that they “congratulate QuantX Labs on this next step in building space heritage on the path to launching its full optical atomic clock.”
The KAIROS mission has been enabled through foundational contributions from SmartSat CRC and the University of Adelaide, with significant support from DST Group and Advanced Strategic Capabilities Accelerator (ASCA). Together, these contributions have strengthened the mission’s technical capabilities and underscore the coordinated national effort to advance Australia’s sovereign space technologies.
QuantX Labs engineers are now completing final environmental testing of the full TEMPO.Space optical atomic clock ahead of a planned launch later this year. Once deployed, the system will represent a global first, the first optical atomic clock operating in orbit.
France’s quantum ecosystem is entering a more commercially and strategically aligned phase, with more reports of scaling activity across hardware, software, and policy.
March 2026 developments point to a maturing ecosystem where research, industrialization and capital markets are increasingly connected. Pasqal drew global headlines with plans to go public at a $2 billion valuation, backed by $200 million in committed capital to accelerate deployment and international expansion. This move positions France among the few countries translating quantum leadership into public-market readiness.
At the technical layer, progress is evident in error correction and system scalability. Alice & Bob demonstrated a more than ninefold speedup in error correction decoding using NVIDIA’s CUDA-Q platform, highlighting the growing role of hybrid quantum-classical workflows. Meanwhile, C12 and Quobly advanced distinct hardware approaches, reinforcing France’s diversified bet across modalities.
Infrastructure and ecosystem development are also accelerating. C12’s underground Paris lab underscores investment in physical capacity, while collaborations such as Metrolab’s NV-diamond sensing partnership signal movement toward commercialization in quantum sensing markets.
On the software and networking side, Cisco’s quantum networking concepts reflect broader integration trends, linking distributed systems and potential near-term applications.
Finally, France’s positioning is reinforced by alignment with European priorities around technological sovereignty and security, alongside initiatives in workforce development and global convening, such as quantum security forums.
The Taiwan-France tech pursuit
The global technological order is rapidly restructuring and the world is entering a new era of technological geopolitics. Over the past 30 years, the core logic of globalization was efficiency and cost, but after the escalation of US-China technological competition and supply chain disruptions caused by the Russia-Ukraine war, many countries have begun placing security and resilience at the center of their economic policies. The EU’s strategies of “derisking” and “technological sovereignty” are concrete manifestations of this new trend. In this context, Taiwan is facing a new strategic opportunity.

Alice & Bob Accelerates Quantum Error Correction with NVIDIA CUDA-Q
Alice & Bob announces accelerated quantum error correction decoding through GPU-accelerated simulation using the NVIDIA CUDA-Q platform, marking a step toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Through GPU-accelerated simulation Alice & Bob achieved a runtime time of 1 hour 57 minutes for the decoding of simulated syndrome data of its Elevator Codes, a new error correction architecture developed by the company that uses a concatenation-based scheme specifically tailored to biased noise qubits. The result represents a x9.25 speed-up compared to CPU-based decoding implementations, which required 18 hours 2 minutes for the same workflow. The GPU-accelerated approach maintains identical logical error performance, demonstrating that there is no performance degradation despite the greatly accelerated decoding.
Cisco Quantum Labs Announces Software That Networks Quantum Computers Together and Enables New Classical Applications
Quantum Sync (decision coordination) uses quantum entanglement so distributed systems can take correlated decisions without sending messages. Think of it as two nodes—Alice and Bob—with each getting a special, pre-correlated coin in a box. If Alice opens the box and finds a “heads” on her coin, Bob is guaranteed to find a “tails.” An example use case for Quantum Sync is in high-frequency trading where milliseconds equal millions and financial institutions risk losing money to coordination problems every day. Our demonstration uses our quantum network simulator with real protocols.

Feasibility of performing quantum chemistry calculations on quantum computers
Quantum chemistry is envisioned as an early and disruptive application for quantum computers. Yet, closer scrutiny of the proposed algorithms shows that there are considerable difficulties along the way. Here, we propose two criteria for evaluating two leading quantum approaches for finding the ground state of molecules.
Sub-second spin and lifetime-limited optical coherences in 171Yb3+:CaWO4
Optically addressable solid-state spins have been extensively studied for quantum technologies, offering unique advantages for quantum computing, communication, and sensing. Advancing these applications is generally limited by finding materials that simultaneously provide lifetime-limited optical and long spin coherences. Here, we introduce 171Yb3+ ions doped into a CaWO4 crystal. We perform high-resolution spectroscopy of the excited state, and demonstrate all-optical coherent control of the electron-nuclear spin ensemble.

At the Digital Pathology & AI Congress in London, Kain outlined how the technology has applications in immunological disease, particularly for patients with vasculitis, where long-term survival is poor. In her presentation, she gave an overview of DSP’s advantages and limitations, while detailing on selection bias and regions of interest (RoI), pre-analytics, and applications in vasculitis research.
DSP, a technology that analyses gene or protein expression in tissue architecture, is increasingly used to interrogate transcriptomic profiles in tissue sections. A method to investigate specific disease pathways and molecular signatures, it is now providing a technology for use in complex auto-immune diseases of the kidney, said Kain, who is Head of the Department of Pathology of the Medical University of Vienna, Austria, and a histopathologist with a special focus on inflammatory disorders of the kidney.
She said DSP is particularly beneficial with the significant rise in slides produced due to the evolution of an increasing number of biomarkers and next generation sequencing. ‘We have been waiting for spatial profiling technology for pathology for a long time,’ she said.
