Why Cryptographic Discovery Matters for Post-Quantum Security
Insider Brief Migration to post-quantum cryptography depends on identifying where existing cryptographic systems are deployed. In many organizations, this inventory is incomplete. Encryption is embedded across enterprise infrastructure, including TLS certificates, firmware, boot processes, applications, and hardware systems. These implementations are often distributed and not centrally tracked, making discovery the first step in any migration […]

This collaboration, as part of NYU’s role as a member of the IBM Quantum Network—a consortium of academic institutions, enterprises, startups, and […]
What is Quantum Entanglement?
Insider Brief In 1935, Albert Einstein looked at what quantum mechanics was claiming about reality and called it “spooky action at a distance.” He said this as an insult. Decades of experiments later, the universe has confirmed the spookiness is real – and that Einstein was wrong. Quantum entanglement is one of those phenomena that […]
Grapefruit-Sized Quantum Sensor Mapped Earth’s Magnetic Field From Space
Insider Brief A quantum device — about the size of a grapefruit, or, if you’re not a fan of that particular fruit, about the size of a shoe box — using flawed diamonds successfully measured Earth’s magnetic field from the International Space Station over 10 months, demonstrating that compact quantum sensors can survive and function […]
Guest Post – A Focus on the Quantum Computing Stack is Holding Commercialization Back
By Michael J. Biercuk and Alex Shih The relevance of quantum computing will ultimately hinge on one thing: whether a customer achieves a positive ROI from a quantum solution over an alternative computing tool for their commercial problem. Q-CTRL was recently thrilled to announce the first Practical Quantum Advantage in Materials Simulation—the first major step […]
