The Race for Quantum Security: How Governments and Tech Giants Are Preparing for the Threat
VANCOUVER, BC , Dec. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- – The advent of quantum computing comes with much excitement, and horror. Quantum computers are poised to solve complex problems in mere minutes, tasks that would take today's most powerful supercomputers approximately 10 septillion years to complete. And while that type of computing power opens up a near-infinite amount of possibilities in things like healthcare, logistics, and even solving mysteries regarding the multiverse theory, it also could be quite catastrophic in the wrong hands. For example, as of December 17, 2024 , all the Bitcoin (BTC) in the world is valued at $2.12 trillion dollars , but experts are calling for Bitcoin to take over 300 days of downtime to adequately defend itself from the 'imminent' threat of quantum computing cyber criminals through post-quantum cryptography migration . Now several innovators are preparing quantum solutions for cyber security, government agencies, and more with recent developments from (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), (NASDAQ: QUBT), (NASDAQ: RGTI, RGTIW), (NASDAQ: ZENA), and (NYSE: IBM).
The article continued: Experts are beginning to tout that new Willow Chip accelerates the time to market for quantum computing . Israel also recently unveiled its first domestically produced quantum computer less than two weeks later. Recently the surpassed $400 million , with a year-to-date performance of 40%+, signaling that the market is waking up to the potential quantum market to come.
, a pioneering technology company specializing in quantum security and machine learning (ML), recently announced that . has signed as an enterprise client for round-trip encrypted, immutable decentralized data storage and quantum-resilient security solutions.
"As we enter an age where quantum computing advancements, like recent progress with their Willow project, accelerate the urgency for businesses to adopt quantum-resistant encryption and storage, companies must act decisively to future-proof their critical data," said James Young , CEO of . " decision to utilize our quantum resistant encryption and data vault services underscores the growing recognition of the need for proactive measures in the face of rapidly evolving technology."

(NASDAQ: QUBT), an innovative, integrated it's been awarded a prime contract by the ) Goddard Space Flight Center. This contract marks a pivotal step forward for by applying its entropy quantum optimization machine, Dirac-3, to support advanced imaging and data processing demands.
The contract will apply Dirac-3 to address the challenging phase unwrapping problem for optimally reconstructing images and extracting information from interferometric data generated by radar. will support in its mission to unwrap interferograms at full scale, ultimately enhancing their data quality and accuracy. believes this project will highlight Dirac-3's capabilities in providing superior solutions to non-deterministic polynomial time hard (NP-hard) problems, significantly improving solution quality and computational speed.
" is proud to support in this critical mission to process large volumes of interferometric imaging data more efficiently," stated Dr. William McGann , CEO of . "The project's goal is to demonstrate how Dirac-3 can address the phase unwrapping problem and allow to compare the results and benefits of quantum optimization technology with state-of-the-art algorithms running on classical computers."
(NASDAQ: RGTI, RGTIW), a pioneer in full-stack quantum-classical computing, along with , the leading provider of processor-based quantum controllers, recently announced the successful application of AI to automate the calibration of a quantum computer. The work was completed as part of the "AI for Quantum Calibration Challenge" that was jointly issued by and and hosted at the Israeli Quantum Computing Center (IQCC).
and successfully automated the calibration of a 9-qubit Novera™ QPU using OPX1000 system and DGX Quantum, demonstrating the power of AI in quantum computer calibration. achieved 99.9% single-qubit gate fidelity and 98.5% two-qubit gate fidelity, while fine-tuned all nine qubits simultaneously, significantly accelerating the setup process and showcasing growing collaboration in the quantum computing ecosystem.
"These results demonstrate the remarkable potential of AI-powered calibration tools in quantum computing," said David Rivas , CTO at . "Using automated processes, both and achieved performance levels matching our rigorous system specifications – work that can require weeks of manual tuning by a skilled engineering team. As we advance toward larger qubit counts, having validated that AI tools can reach our performance benchmarks is an exciting moment for the industry. This successful demonstration shows how automation accelerates quantum computer setup while maintaining the exacting standards required for quantum computation. We look forward to seeing these tools used by our customers who have both our Novera QPU and control."
(NASDAQ: ZENA), a technology company specializing in AI drone, Quantum Computing, Drone as a Service (DaaS), and enterprise SaaS solutions, recently announced that it has signed an LOI (Letter of Intent) to acquire a third land survey engineering company. The acquired company, located in the Western region of the US, will use drones for land surveys and to survey large tracks of land for wildfires and fire management applications on Native American reservations. In addition, Quantum Computing will be added to AI drone capabilities to accommodate large-size datasets. This third acquisition will form the base of drone operations in the Western US region, providing local access to the ZenaDrone 1000 and the IQ series of drones, along with the previously signed LOIs for anchor acquisitions in the Southeast and Southern regions of the US.
"Signing an LOI to acquire a third land survey company is another step towards our vision for a national DaaS business, bringing AI drone speed and precision to innovate legacy business applications across verticals," said Shaun Passley , Ph.D., CEO of . "Having received multiple requests from Native American groups, we look forward to applying advanced technologies like AI and Quantum Computing to practical and sought-after use cases such as fire management."
