• The 1,000-Qubit Ceiling That Probably Isn't

  2 Apr, 2026

  Oxford physicist Tim Palmer claims quantum computers face a hard 1,000-qubit ceiling that would protect RSA and ECC forever. A careful reading of the physics and the math says otherwise---and your migration timeline should not wait to find out.

• Google Just Cut the Quantum Resources to Break Bitcoin's Cryptography by 20x

  30 Mar, 2026

  Google Quantum AI, the Ethereum Foundation, and Stanford published a 57-page whitepaper showing <500,000 physical qubits and ~9 minutes suffice to break Bitcoin and Ethereum's elliptic curve cryptography---a 20x reduction over prior estimates. This is not FUD. It is an engineering specification.
