The Curious Mr. Feynman - Freakonomics
"NIST has extended the standardization process ... to study algorithms that are not lattice-based. “Our goal in this is not to depend on any one mathematical family for the algorithms we select,” explains Dustin Moody, a mathematician at NIST. www.scientificamerican.com/article/tomo...
Researchers are racing to create codes so complex that even quantum computers can’t break them
Now on YouTube. My keynote at Q2B 2023: "Crossing the Quantum Chasm: From NISQ to Fault Tolerance" www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq6F...

"The goal of airing some skepticism, [Matthias] Troyer says, is not to diminish interest in the field, but to ensure that researchers are focused on the most promising applications of quantum computing with the greatest chance of impact." spectrum.ieee.org/quantum-comp...
Hype is everywhere, skeptics say, and practical applications are still far away
Informative assessment of the ongoing quest for a topologically protected Majorana qubit. Even Kitaev, the pioneer ... has grown cynical. “Theoretically, it’s just beautiful, but in practice it seems that we don’t have a suitable technology to make it work well." www.science.org/content/arti...
Exciting idea for achieving reliable ground-based high-rate (10^13 qubits/sec) quantum communication over continental scales (10^4 km) using currently feasible technology (vacuum beam guides). arxiv.org/abs/2312.09372
The vacuum beam guide (VBG) presents a completely different solution for quantum channels to overcome the limitations of existing fiber and satellite technologies for long-distance quantum...

Hartmut Neven: "My subtitle here is chief optimist." Optimism is essential, but so is realism. Quantum computers have scientific value now, but we have far to go before they can outperform conventional computers at solving problems of broad practical interest. www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4ss...
Companies and countries are in a race to develop quantum computers. The machines could revolutionize problem-solving in medicine, physics, chemistry and engi...
