There's a new tech bubble rising up in the horizon:
"An analysis of 58,070 corporate communication documents — such as company reports, transcripts of interviews with experts, and research documents — from 2022 to 2024 revealed increasing references to quantum computing, suggesting an expanding awareness of quantum and its inclusion in mainstream business discussions, not just technical discourse, the researchers found. News-related corporate communications content saw particularly pronounced increases.
References to quantum computing in corporate communications more generally escalated in 2024, with each quarter showing substantial increases in mentions across all forms of company documents. “While research documents naturally maintain high levels of quantum computing references, the significant increase in mentions across other document categories ... might suggest a growing understanding of the technology’s presence in corporate communications,” the researchers write.
References to quantum technologies are also becoming more common in corporate earnings calls, growing more than sixfold from 2016 to 2024. Much of the heightened attention can be associated with major players actively integrating quantum computing into their strategic roadmaps — for example, IBM expanding its quantum facilities and launching new initiatives and AI powerhouse Nvidia announcing partnerships with quantum startups.
As quantum technologies are more frequently discussed in C-suite and financial circles, markets are taking notice. A Technavio report estimated that the global quantum computing market will grow by $17.34 billion from 2024 to 2028, achieving a compound annual growth rate of 26%. Startup investment is also on the rise, evidenced by a $300 million equity infusion for quantum computing company Quantinuum in 2024."

Wat als quantumcomputing plots volwassen wordt en onze wereld in hoog tempo verandert? Geen theorie, geen verre toekomst, maar de vraag die alles bepaalt: wat als het nu écht gebeurt?
In deze 3e aflevering kijken we samen met experts recht vooruit.

In deze 3e aflevering kijken we samen met experts recht vooruit.
Quantumtechnologie was ooit voorbehouden aan wetenschappers en nieuwsgierige liefhebbers. Nu baant het zich een weg uit de labs en zolderkamers naar een breder publiek.
In deze 2e aflevering gaat het over de huidige staat van quantumcomputing.

Today, right now, governments and corporations are hoarding data.
Not to preserve it.
But to crack the encryption later.
They're waiting for quantum computers to make it possible, and with the data already in hand, there's no chance by owners of that data to enhance the encryption or otherwise protect it.
Keep your personal data local !! The cloud is a network of computers that you do not own or control.

This paper is SO good.

Of course, besides the critique, they also provide guidance on how a "real" #quantum factorization experiment should be designed.
The text is easy to read even without #QuantumComputing background.
And it is absolutely worthwhile to at least read the footnotes. Some of them definitely made my day!

If you want to learn more about the current state of #QuantumComputing especially with respect to #QuantumFactorisation, but not only, have a look at these recent slides by Samuel Jaques.

Earlier this week, Peter Gutmann and @sten published a bombshell paper: The looked at all the reported factorization "breakthroughs" in quantum computing. And found that all of them essentially were magician's tricks, "sleight of hand".
The two reconstructed the algorithms used on a 1981 home computer (a million times less powerful than what you hold in your hand now), an #Abacus and with a #dog.

History shows that breakthrough technologies, such as atomic energy, the internet and artificial intelligence reshape military and economic power. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/09/japan/japan-quantum-technology-leap/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #ai #quantumcomputing #tech #japaneseeconomy

> Unfortuantely, for communications captured before the switch, when quantum computers will be able to break such large numbers
... if they ever get powerful enough to crunch numbers above 21. I suspect that like fusion energy, quantum computing will be 20 years away forever. A mirage on an ever-retreating horizon.

But if you really want to freak yourself out with potential but inherently uncertain quantum computing futures, watch Alex Garland's 2020 mini-series Devs.
Late last year, Hard Fork did an intriguing interview with Julian Kelly, the director of quantum computing at Goggle;

Starts at about the 20min mark, after a deep dive on the US TikTok drama, and before a chat about the Claude chatbot.
