Seventeen years after the Large Hadron Collider switched on,
particle physicists are realizing that they can use the collider to explore how information flows through quantum systems
— a question at the foundations of quantum computing.
The two possible spins of the quarks correspond to the 0 and 1 states of a qubit,
a unit of quantum information.
“It is treating the process of colliding things together and forming new particles as a quantum processor,”
s…

Particle Physicists Detect ‘Magic’ at the Large Hadron Collider | Quanta Magazine
The supercollider is now being used to explore quantum phenomena, including a “magic” form of quantum entanglement.

Defense Startup Quantum Systems Triples Valuation to €3 Billion
Quantum Systems, a German drone maker backed by Peter Thiel, boosted its valuation to €3 billion ($3.5 billion) in a new funding round as the defense startup plans to increase production capacity of unmanned aerial systems.

The Real Reason We’re All Annoyed With Quentin Tarantino
With nothing but a new cut of Kill Bill to offer, Quentin Tarantino has gone into semiretirement right as American cinema is fighting for its very life. And to make matters worse, he won’t stop talking smack.

Thought they did this exercise before for fediverse and then stopped maintaining it 🤷‍♂️ https://blog.cloudflare.com/serverless-matrix-homeserver-workers/

Building a serverless, post-quantum Matrix homeserver
We ported a complete Matrix homeserver to Cloudflare Workers — delivering encrypted messaging at the edge with automatic post-quantum cryptography.

OVH claims that they use a "quantum computer" to improve their SSL security. I'm not gonna complain about the marketing term SSL, but... no, a quantum RNG is not a quantum computer. It's also... something that has been around for decades. And QRNGs don't do anything useful. That doesn't stop some companies from selling them for a lot of money.

In October, I gave a talk about post-quantum #cryptography at the #OpenSSL Conference in Prague. Yesterday, the video dropped. If you're interested, head to https:/…

“This is the most complicated thing that you could possibly imagine,” said Mike Williams, a physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
“In fact, you can’t even imagine how complicated it is.”
The proton is a quantum mechanical object that exists as a haze of probabilities until an experiment forces it to take a concrete form.
And its forms differ drastically depending on how researchers set up their experiment.
Connecting the particle’s many faces has …

The House Homeland Security Committee asks Dario Amodei to testify at a December 17 hearing about how Chinese state actors used Claude Code for cyber-espionage (Sam Sabin/Axios)
https://www.axios.com/2025/11/26/anthropic-google-cloud-quantum-xch…

Exclusive: Anthropic CEO called to testify on Chinese AI cyberattack
The request comes weeks after Anthropic said China used Claude Code in an espionage campaign.

If you:
🔸create an entangled pair of particles,
🔸and then separate them by a very large distance,
🔸and then measure the quantum state of one of them,
🔹the quantum state of the other one is all-of-a-sudden determined,
-- not at the speed of light, but rather instantaneously.
This has now been demonstrated across distances of hundreds of kilometers over time intervals of under 100 nanoseconds.
If information is being transmitted between these two entangled…

Quantum entanglement wins 2022's Nobel Prize in physics
They say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. But thanks to these three pioneers in quantum entanglement, perhaps we do.
