There are four critical cybersecurity clocks—each telling time in a different way: the adversary, the regulator, the vendor, and your ability to execute. You control one. If the others get there first, you could face higher costs and a range of risks. IonQ just reported on how a 20,000-physical-qubit quantum computer is estimated to be able to break 256-bit elliptic encryption. This blog by Field Quantum Security Officer Simon Sinisha Patkovic details what’s behind each of the four clocks and what organizations need to know now to improve security exposure.

The future of quantum won’t be built one product at a time. Across computing, networking, sensing, and security, IonQ is building technologies designed to work together to solve the greatest mission challenges. That future is already being shaped by work happening today. Through programs with the U.S. government, allied governments, and commercial organizations, we develop and test critical technologies against real mission needs in demanding operating environments. These programs validate capabilities across IonQ’s full-stack platform today while we build the foundation for increasingly integrated systems tomorrow. Commercial momentum across IonQ's quantum platform is happening now. Our agreement with @Congruity360 protects sensitive enterprise data for clients across the U.S. with quantum key distribution (#QKD#) on top of post-quantum cryptography (#PQC#).

Quantum computing isn’t just a crypto problem. From banking and personal data to government systems, the quantum threat is pushing the world toward post-quantum security. Thanks to @patrickjwitt for joining us.

Last week in quantum: @Starknet backed research into becoming an independent post-quantum Layer 1. More than 93.5% of voting power backed the research, across 2,800+ wallets, and StarkWare didn’t vote. It’s research only. Any actual move needs a second vote, and a whitepaper draft is expected in November. Quantum risk entered the insurance conversation. @projecteleven named Relm Insurance a development partner for Strongpoint, its custody product, to explore how post-quantum security could factor into digital asset underwriting. No premium or policy changes have been announced. @QuantinuumQC reported a new error-correction record. Its Helios system reached 99.9995% logical memory fidelity per cycle, about 10 times better than its own September result. That figure measures memory reliability, not a complete computation. The team also demonstrated improving logical gate accuracy, though further work remains to scale all the components needed for universal fault-tolerant computing. Postquant Labs launched the Quip Virtual Machine. The QVM provides a shared programming environment for quantum annealers, gate-based quantum computers, and classical machines, with a maximum cost quoted before execution. It is live on @quipnetwork’s Aglais testnet. Post-quantum readiness increasingly needs evidence. Chains need tested migration plans. Custodians need controls insurers can assess. Quantum hardware needs reliable computation beyond memory benchmarks. The useful question is what each announcement actually demonstrates.

Quick question: If quantum computing changed today's security standards tomorrow, would you know where to start? Understanding where cryptography is used today is the first step toward post-quantum readiness. 🛡️ Dell Technologies helps organizations prepare for post-quantum security and resilience. Learn more:

Interlink Prepares for the Quantum Threat Before It Arrives InterLink (@inter_link) is preparing its blockchain infrastructure for future quantum computing threats. The project says post-quantum security is becoming a long-term infrastructure priority. It is studying quantum resistant cryptography across wallets, validators, consensus and smart contracts. The effort also addresses the “harvest now, decrypt later” threat. InterLink says migration could take years and should not begin during an emergency. The project is following NIST’s post-quantum standards as research continues.
