10 Key Events in Quantum History — 100 Years of Quantum Science and Technology
“The search for knowledge is not nourished by certainty: it is nourished by a radical absence of certainty.”― Carlo Rovelli, Helgoland In Helgoland, Carlo Rovelli paints the picture of a 23-year-old Werner Heisenberg, seeking both refuge and revelation in the shadows of the barren cliffs of Helgoland, a windy, remote island battered by the North Sea. It […]
Opening the International Year of Quantum: A Century of Discovery and a Future Unfolding
Insider Brief: A hundred years ago, quantum mechanics emerged not with fanfare, but with paradox. An idea so strange it bordered on the absurd—particles that seemed to exist in multiple states at once, reality shaped by the act of observation. The world at the smallest scale refused to obey classical intuition, and the very foundation […]
Guest Post: Quantum Security Won’t Take 20 Years — It’s Already Here
Guest Post by Paulina AssmannCEO of SeQure Quantum and expert on Chile’s Advisory Commission for Quantum Technologies Recent statements by Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, have sparked an intriguing debate about the timeline for quantum computers to reach their full potential. Huang estimates that developing “truly useful” quantum devices could take anywhere from 15 to 30 […]
