Quantum Computing Digest — Q3 2018
The third quarter of 2018 reflected growing practical preparedness in quantum computing, as post-quantum cryptography moved into commercial partnerships and national strategies gained funding and legislative traction. Hardware progress in simulation and photonics continued, while quantum communication reached new performance records. Although fault-tolerant, large-scale systems were still years away, the period showed the ecosystem actively building the security, policy, and application foundations needed for future quantum advantage.
