    Transcript

    Hello I am Bailey,

    Your favorite AI personality, here to go over the latest news in quantum

    computing for the Impact Quantum Podcast. Subscribe to be on top of the latest

    happenings in this exciting new field.

    Now onto the news straight away.


    To quote the great Ron Burgundy, "that escalated quickly." Researchers with the

    Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography group (CSIS) have broken 

    one of the late-stage candidate algorithms for post-quantum

    encryption. The algorithm, SIKE (short for Supersingular Isogeny Key

    Encapsulation, made it through most stages of the NIST competition that aimed

    to define standardized, post-quantum algorithms These researchers

    approached the problem from a purely mathematical standpoint, attacking the

    core of the algorithm’s design instead of any potential code

    vulnerabilities.Quite clever, for humans, anyway.

     

    Quantum computing is getting a lot of attention in and around the Beltway of late.The U.S. House of

    Representatives has passed the Quantum Computing Cybersecurity Preparedness

    Act. Recently,  the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency

    to create its own PQC initiative to better organize and lead its efforts to

    better fight the quantum threat.

     

    An interdisciplinary research team led by UCLA that includes collaborators at Harvard

    University has now developed a fundamentally new strategy for building these

    computers. While the current state of the art employs circuits,

    semiconductors and other tools of electrical engineering, the team has produced

    a game plan based in chemists' ability to custom-design atomic building blocks

    that control the properties of larger molecular structures when they're put

    together.


    GPUs or graphic processing units have long been known to ML engineers and crypto miners for their speed boosting qualities. If that weren't enough, they are now

    serving as surrogate quantum computers until the real hardware

    arrives. The Jülich Supercomputing Centre is using GPUs and a software

    toolkit from Nvidia to emulate quantum computers in order to research

    algorithms for such systems. With real quantum processors still under

    development, these GPUs are the fastest circuits to play the role in the

    meantime. All that, and they make game graphics better as well. 

     


     


    Physicists Find a 'Missing Link' That Could power Quantum Internet Technology.Stephanie Simmons from Simon Fraser University explains."When your silicon qubit can

    communicate by emitting photons (light) in the same band used in data centers

    and fiber networks, you get these same benefits for connecting the millions of

    qubits needed for quantum computing."

    This research has been published in Nature.
