Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up: Week Ending October 24, 2026

Quantinuum posted 99.9995 percent logical fidelity, a 10x jump that keeps its 2029 fault-tolerant target alive. NVIDIA ran the biggest realistic fault-tolerant simulation yet and Qblox cut hybrid control latency under 4 microseconds. At the same time, scans showed 97 percent of mobile apps still carry no post-quantum encryption, and a once-trusted decoder trick began to backfire at the error rates hardware is aiming for.

The Qubit Report: October 22, 2026

Quantinuum and Oracle opened early Helios access on OCI while Qblox measured sub-4 µs hybrid loops on a single desktop. Decoder analysis shows correlated matching can degrade below the error rates hardware teams now target, and Lazarus already used ML-KEM-1024 inside malware. The October 22 edition tracks the closing gap between lab results and operational stacks.

The Qubit Report: October 15, 2026

Google Quantum AI cut magic-state errors fortyfold on Willow while D-Wave delivered Italy’s first annealing system to Como. The same day brought PQC migration timelines from Germany and Singapore plus fresh capital for neutral-atom and photonic startups. The wrap-up has the figures, the deadlines, and the source list.

The Qubit Report: September 10, 2026

IBM and Lockheed Martin set a Swiss quantum hub with ETH Zurich, and a System Two bound for Lugano is due at CSCS by year-end 2026. LUMI AI Factory booked IQM’s Halocene path in Kajaani for 150 physical qubits in 2027 and as many as 9 logical qubits on H5 in 2029, while Cloudflare began validating 2,420-byte ML-DSA-44 DNSSEC on 1.1.1.1. Full briefing adds NIST TES nuclear X-ray counts, an Air Force MagNav hop with 89 percent lower backup error, and source-level caveats on staged logical-qubit claims. There’s a heck of a lot more inside.

Aliro Technologies and zerothird Demonstrate Operational Entanglement-Based Quantum Networking with Cisco 8000 Series Routers

Aliro Technologies and zerothird demonstrated a live entanglement-based quantum key distribution network at Cisco’s Photonics Center in Vimercate, Italy. Aliro Orchestrator manages zerothird’s BBM92 hardware and delivers keys via Cisco SKIP into 8000 Series routers for quantum-safe MACsec. Continuous telemetry of QBER, eavesdropper detection, and polarization drift supports automated remediation with full audit logging. The deployment marks Aliro’s first European quantum network and validates multi-vendor operational quantum-secure networking on commercial hardware.

Quantum Computing Weekly Round-Up: Week Ending November 22, 2025

This week saw landmark progress in quantum computing: Hong Kong’s first chip-based quantum network went live, IonQ acquired Skyloom to dominate quantum networking, and IBM-Cisco announced plans for distributed fault-tolerant systems. Funding, talent pipelines, and crypto migration strategies all hit new highs. The quantum era isn’t coming—it’s here, arguably.
