Nations Impose Strange Controls On Export Of Quantum Computers Delve into the enigma of export controls on quantum computers by multiple nations, examining implications, motivations, and the future of global technology collaboration. https://lnkd.in/eR6FP9S4

🆕 Version 2.1 of the study "Entwicklungsstand Quantencomputer" from Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik (BSI) is now available. 🧠 The key message is that the growing interest and increasing research into quantum computers can significantly accelerate development. 💪 We are on the right track in Hamburg and are determined to continue this energetically together with everyone in 2025, the quantum year. https://lnkd.in/dsddmwXz

In my opinion, DARPA's Quantum Benchmarking Initiative is very important and I'm personally glad to see DARPA doing their best to understand the current state of maturation of quantum computers. This is a technology that could turn the entire paradigm of information security on its head and make almost all current cyber security measures obsolete. You can bet that DARPA knows exactly where the large companies are when it comes to quantum computing (IBM and a couple other publicly traded companies come right to mind as leaders in this space) but this is one of those technologies where a "dark" start-up company or unpublished academic research could potentially be extremely disruptive. QBI is one of the many ways that DARPA, along with other government agencies, is trying to understand better the possible timelines involved in rolling out a scalable quantum computer. Given the steady progress over the past few years, I think it is likely that I will live to see powerful quantum computers available and I'm hoping this isn't a discipline that moves faster than the world can adapt.

DARPA released a Program Solicitation (DARPA-PS-24-26) last week for all hardware providers chasing a goose that lays golden eggs. If you make quantum computers and can build one by 2033, you might consider presenting your technology. The race is on to build a utility-scale quantum computer (USQC), and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) wants to put your ideas through the wringer if you are willing and able. Dr. Joseph Altepeter and his team are ready to separate the wheat from the chaff. There is also an RFI for organizations wanting to join the Test and Evaluation team to test and evaluate quantum computing technology. U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is a critical partner, and the State of Illinois is a key partner.

📶 Rethinking Communication and Security 🔐 We’re part of the 5th IEEE International Symposium on Joint Communications & Sensing, happening now in Finland 🇫🇮. aconnic is proud to collaborate with 5G Lab GmbH and Technische Universität Dresden to tackle some of the most pressing challenges in modern communications: 🔒 Harnessing quantum computing for network security and encryption. 🔎 Proactively identifying and preventing disruptions in communication networks. These aren’t just buzzwords — they’re the building blocks for secure, reliable systems in an increasingly connected world. This event brings together brilliant minds from both industry and academia to explore how communication and localization can be seamlessly integrated for next-gen solutions. It’s these kinds of discussions that drive innovation, and I look forward to engaging with thought leaders, learning from keynotes, and bringing new perspectives back to aconnic. Let’s keep the conversation going: How are you preparing for the intersection of communication and security in your field? #Innovation #Telecommunication #Research

Teleportation and entanglement is not science-fiction. The quantum computer is there, learn how to use it in reality!!
