China advances in the #QuantumComputing race. The intensely political competition between #China and the USA for technological superiority continues. #QuantumComputers will soon be able to crack the most powerful encryption, mandating new approaches to #InfoSec and #NationalSecurity. It will, of course, also help cure diseases and advance scientific research; giving any country who masters the technology a significant advantage on the global stage. China also announced today a new, #OpenSource LLM model with powerful capabilities. So the race is well and truly on… and the future of the world and the human race will be impacted by its outcome. #LLM #technology

Interesting EngineeringQuantum race tightens as China unleashes 1,000-qubit rival to IBMChina’s QuantumCTek has claimed to have developed a 1,000-qubit self-developed superconducting quantum measurement and control system.

Researchers find we’ll need 20 times fewer qubits to break conventional encryption than previously believed.

A new paper puts a fire under DevOps, IT teams and anyone else using modern RSA—or similar public-key cryptosystems. Factoring big primes now seems much, much easier for #QuantumComputers than we thought even a few years ago.

Of course, the Devil is in the details. In #SBBlogwatch, we never shy away from detail.
