Quantum Sovereignty and Geopolitics: The Short Version
Export controls, investment screening, and diverging PQC standards have turned quantum sovereignty into a procurement question. The short version, for architects and buyers.
Will Magnetic Cooling Replace the Dilution Refrigerator?
Magnetic cooling reaches the same millikelvin temperatures as a dilution refrigerator and needs no helium-3. Cooling power at that temperature, not base temperature, decides…
The Quantum Software Stack Is a Real-Time Systems Problem
There is no quantum operating system yet. Reading the stack by deadline rather than by layer shows why, and shows where the engineering work…
The Two Dates in NIST IR 8547 That Govern Your Migration Plan
NIST IR 8547 is usually reduced to 2035. It sets two dates, and the earlier one is already shaping procurement and risk acceptance decisions.
Quantum-as-a-Service: How Access Actually Works
Shots, tasks, queues, transpilation and reserved time. A walk through the full access path from credentials to returned counts, with a worked shot budget.
Quantum Open Architecture and the Case for Modularity
Modular quantum computers are now real purchases. The decision that matters is not open versus closed, but where the interfaces go and who is…
NIS2, DORA, and the Evidence a Supervisor Will Ask For
European post-quantum regulation rarely says "deploy PQC by date X." It says produce the file. Here is what that file contains, and what your…
Four Questions That Map a Quantum Supply Chain
Vendor roadmaps name qubit counts, not the suppliers whose capacity sets delivery dates. Four questions that surface concentration, jurisdiction, and shared dependency.
Rethinking the CBOM
Complete cryptographic inventory is a mirage. A Minimum Viable CBOM maps trust boundaries first, records what you don't know, and produces migration decisions instead…
What Quantum Systems Integration Actually Involves
Open architecture turned the quantum computer into a set of parts. Someone still has to assemble them and connect the result to the infrastructure…
