Project Eleven, a company focused on post-quantum cryptography, said Tuesday that it has partnered with Ripple to support post-quantum readiness on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) blockchain.  The announcement arrives amid intensifying concern across the crypto sector over the security of the cryptographic systems used by major networks like Bitcoin (BTC), as advances in quantum computing […]

Developers behind BNB Smart Chain have demonstrated that post-quantum cryptography can already function on a live blockchain architecture, though the transition comes with major trade-offs in transaction size and throughput. The findings highlight how networks may eventually adapt to the long-term risks posed by quantum computing. BNB Smart Chain Advances Quantum Security Testing BNB Smart […]

Among today’s emerging technologies, only agentic AI rivals quantum computing in the hype and promises surrounding its enterprise impact. While significant research on quantum computing continues, there are opportunities to learn about and pilot quantum computing today. It took 20 years to go from primitive virtual machines bought on credit cards to the over $900 billion cloud computing industry we see today. Experts present a similar timeline for quantum computing and suggest that more enterprises need to invest in developing skills, reviewing business opportunities, and preparing for security challenges. Bain estimates the market potential for quantum computing at between $100 billion and $250 billion, with top applications in machine learning, logistics network optimization, and drug discovery. Quantum computing infrastructure today You can experiment with quantum computing today on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware. These devices are noisy, with quantum computations
