The City of Chicago puts big bets in Quantum. ColdQuanta gets $29M from Breakthrough Victoria in Australia. Meanwhile India keeps pushing on building a quantum algorithms powerhouse, and Germany to get both computers and network. The US on their side pushes on banninng China for (among other things) quantum components. So the geopolitical quantum game escalates a bit. A lot of notes on PQC (besides my intro above) and the government mandates. Fujitsu finally launches their cloud in Japan. PsiQuantum gets a $22.5M contract to build a photonic computer for the US Airforce.Also, a nice article that explains one of the best “quantum telephathy” games. Dear jounalists: THIS IS NOT REAL TELEPATHY! It is merely a demonstration of how using entanglement you can increase the odds of playing a game, like Mermin’s magic square (very very related to Bell’s inequality). Oh, and you thought QC were useful only for asymmetric encryption and ther rest was safe? Read below a paper that potentially breaks SHA1! (sure, SHA1 is deprecated, but this demonstrates how continuous work can potentially break more safe-until-now algoriths… SHA256 you are next!)
