How Asian Countries are Addressing Post-Quantum Cryptography: Part Two in QSI’s Series on Global Cryptography Reports

Introduction to QSI's Post-Quantum Cryptography Series Governments around the world are beginning to prepare themselves for the quantum threat. Even though quantum computers may not be prevalent in any commercial sense in years, national security requires for sensitive data and documents to be quantum proof well in advance. No one wants their opponents to get access to five-year-old, or even ten-year-old, sensitive material. But how, exactly, are nations approaching post-quantum cryptography (PQC)? In answering that question, QSI has rele ...

QSI’s Report on Cryptography: Taking a Data-Driven Approach to the Quantum Computing Threat

New Year, New Perspectives Reactions to the idea of quantum computing breaking encryption range from uncertainty (at best) to fear (at worst). Given how harmful that is to businesses, QSI's Report on Cryptography breaks down the quantum computing threat from a US standpoint and explores these critical questions: What types of encryption are at risk? Where will the attacks come from and what will the targets be? What are the timelines for this threat arriving? How can my business prepare for this? A data-driven approach is used t ...

The US Economy & Quantum Computing: Short-Term Headwinds, Long-Term Opportunities

Selling quantum computing proofs of concept is hard under good economic conditions. As the US (which is currently the largest market for quantum computing1) stares down a potential recession in quarter three or four of this year, the job of business development (BD) professionals in our industry is going to get harder. But all things will pass with time. And while there are short-term headwinds facing the US market, long-term opportunities are already emerging. We'll explore both of those areas, starting with what's near-term. Short-Term H ...

Finding Your Product Market Fit: Adding Unique Value in a Crowded Market

Have you ever attended a quantum computing conference and noticed that the vendor pitches sound ... similar? Broadly speaking, quantum computing companies with software offerings have the same business model of creating a solution to a challenging R&D problem that's focused on quantum machine learning, optimization, or quantum chemistry. Overall, this works well. But put yourself in a consumer's shoes and imagine that you're at a quantum computing conference talking to vendors for the first time. If each vendor walked you through the s ...

Quantum Strategist Feature – Jasmine Soor Arachi

1. Tell us about the first time you heard about quantum?The first time I heard about Quantum was in 1995, when I read a book by American Physicist and Nobel Laureate Murray Gell-Man called the Quark and the Jaguar. It completely disrupted my paradigm of what reality is and anchored in a curiosity and passion for “quantum” that burns bright to this very day. (Please see this online review of the Quark and the Jaguar from Physics Today in 1994.)2. What made you interested in this space?My desire to understand how everything in the universe operates a ...
