Europe just put its first quantum computing company on a major American stock exchange. And it did so without leaving home. IQM, a Finnish maker of quantum machines, started trading on Nasdaq this week. The debut was equal parts landmark and reality check. IQM began trading on the Nasdaq Global Sele
IQM, a full-stack quantum company out of Finland, went public on the Nasdaq today at a valuation of about $1.9 billion.
Bitcoin Magazine Moody’s Flags Quantum Threat to Bitcoin and Digital Assets After Trump Orders Moody's warned that President Trump's new quantum computing executive orders accelerate the need for Bitcoin and the broader digital asset industry to adopt quantum-resistant cryptography. This post Moody’
Microsoft on Tuesday said it's accelerating its quantum safe security roadmap, stating technology advances in quantum computing are making it essential to replace existing encryption standards sooner than previously expected. "Advances in quantum research and development have shifted the risk horizo
To this day, we have yet to see a quantum computer conclusively perform a single useful task. Existing machines are simply too small and error-ridden to solve commercially relevant problems. That hasn't stopped Donald Trump's science adviser from promising a "quantum computer powerful enough for sci
But the system would require a massive leap from any of its existing hardware.
Today’s encrypted data, such as credentials, may no longer remain confidential in the future because the public-key cryptography protecting it will soon be broken by quantum computers. Although no machine today can break elliptic curve cryptography or RSA, quantum hardware is advancing rapidly and w
With multi-billion dollar investments and new US executive orders targeting a 2028 breakthrough, global powers are rushing to secure hardware superiority before 'Q-Day' upends modern encryption.
Getting accurate visibility into IT and OT systems will be compounded by multivendor environments, misaligned update life cycles, and interoperability gaps.
Microsoft’s Majorana 1 processor. | Image: Microsoft A critique published in Nature Wednesday calls the basic technology behind Microsoft's "breakthrough" quantum computing chip the Majorana 1 into question. Microsoft unveiled the chip in February 2025 and said it featured a brand-new technology kno
A physicist's formal critique argues Microsoft has not demonstrated the topological qubit behind its Majorana 2 quantum chip.
A new scientific critique in Nature casts doubt on Microsoft's quantum computing claims, potentially impacting its 2029 target. While rivals pursue established methods, Microsoft's long-term bet on a novel technology faces renewed skepticism. The company maintains its research is progressing practic
Industry leaders welcomed President Trump's quantum executive orders, while researchers said the accelerated timelines reflect growing urgency around post-quantum security and cryptocurrency infrastructure.
President Trump signed an executive order on June 22 setting hard deadlines for federal agencies to move high-value assets and high-impact systems to post-quantum cryptography. Key establishment must move by December 31, 2030; digital signatures by December 31, 2031. EO 14409 leaves national securit
The president also launched efforts to research the scientific benefits of quantum computers — and protect that research from adversaries.
The new funding, led by BDC Capital’s StrongNorth Fund, will accelerate Lastwall’s North American expansion. The post Lastwall Raises $11.5 Million for Quantum-Resilient Identity Platform appeared first on SecurityWeek.
Experts warn quantum computers could someday forge Bitcoin’s digital signatures, allowing unauthorized transactions.
