Scientists just sent unhackable quantum keys across 120 kilometers - Date: - May 9, 2026 - Source: - Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, CAS - Summary: - Scientists have taken a major step toward ultra-secure quantum communication by demonstrating a remarkably stable quantum encryption system that worked across more than 120 kilometers of optical fiber. Using tiny semiconductor quantum dots that emit single particles of light on demand, the team achieved one of the highest secure key rates yet for this type of technology while maintaining continuous operation for over six hours without manual adjustments. - Share: Quantum key distribution (QKD) is widely considered the most advanced form of quantum cryptography, offering a path toward virtually unbreakable security for the future quantum internet. One promising technology behind these secure systems involves semiconductor quantum dots (SQDs), tiny solid-state light sources capable of generating high-quality single photons for quantum communication. These devices could help boost secure key generation rates while also supporting future quantum repeaters needed for large-scale quantum networks. Another important development is time-bin encoding, a technique that stores information in the arrival times of photons. This method is especially attractive for long-distance quantum communication because it is naturally resistant to many of the environmental disturbances that can disrupt fiber optic networks. Stable Quantum Encryption Over 120 Kilometers An international research team from universities in Germany and China has now demonstrated the first true time-bin QKD system powered by an on-demand telecom semiconductor quantum dot device. Their results appeared as journal cover art in Light: Science & Applications. In the experiment, the scientists generated three separate time-bin qubit states both deterministically and randomly using a self-stabilized time-bin encoder. The setup converts polarized single photons produced by a telecom C-band quantum dot into encoded quantum signals. On the receiving end,

Key Stats for IonQ Stock - Current Price: $47.68 - Target Price (Mid): ~$145 - Street Target: ~$65 - Potential Total Return: ~205% - Annualized IRR: ~27% / year - Earnings Reaction: -9.30% (May 7, 2026) Now Live: Discover how much upside your favorite stocks could have using TIKR’s new Valuation Model (It’s free) >>> What Happened? Quantum computing stocks have spent much of 2026 being sold despite strong execution. IonQ (IONQ) reported its largest quarter on record on May 6, beat revenue estimates by 30%, and raised full-year guidance. In the next session, the stock fell 9.30%. Bulls argue the selloff was a “sell the news” overreaction driven by a misleading EBITDA headline. Bears argue a company with free cash flow projected negative through 2029 and no profitability before 2030 was never cheap at $47. The question investors are asking now: did the market overreact, and does the selloff create an opportunity? The answer depends on which number you focus on. The Quarter Behind the Drop On May 6, 2026, IonQ reported $64.7 million in GAAP revenue for Q1 2026, representing 755% year-over-year growth, against a year-ago figure of $7.57 million. The result beat the Wall Street consensus of $49.73 million by 30%. Management raised full-year guidance to $260–$270 million and guided Q2 to $65–$68 million. The selloff came from the adjusted figures. Adjusted EBITDA (a measure of operating profitability excluding non-cash items) came in at a loss of $96.8 million, worse than the ($79.87 million) consensus. Adjusted EPS landed at ($0.34), missing the ($0.25) estimate. The stock fell 9.30% on May 7. What the headline missed: $12 million of the $96.8 million EBITDA loss came directly from IonQ’s commercial agreement with SkyWater Technology, whose acquisition IonQ announced in January 2026 and expects to close in Q2 or Q3

Graduate Ventures, a Dutch early-stage investment firm, has celebrated its 80th investment by backing FrostByte, a Delft-based quantum startup specializing in cryogenic control electronics. The investment is part of a €1.3 million ($1.5 million USD) funding round that includes participation from InnovationQuarter Capital, UNIIQ, Paeonia Group, and an undisclosed angel investor. Reaching this milestone exactly five years after its 2021 launch, Graduate Ventures has solidified its position as one of the most active pre-seed and seed investors in the Netherlands, focusing on TU Delft, Erasmus University Rotterdam, and Erasmus MC spin-offs. Cryo-CMOS Technology for Scalable Quantum Systems FrostByte, a spin-off from TU Delft and QuTech, addresses one of the primary scaling bottlenecks in quantum computing: the “cabling and heat” challenge. As quantum processors scale to millions of qubits, the traditional method of keeping control electronics at room temperature—connected via massive bundles of coaxial cables—becomes physically impossible due to heat generation and space constraints. FrostByte develops specialized cryo-CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) chips and cryogenic switches designed to operate inside the dilution refrigerator at temperatures near absolute zero (4 K and below). By moving the control architecture closer to the quantum processor, FrostByte aims to make quantum systems significantly more compact, power-efficient, and scalable. Industrializing Fundamental Research The startup is led by co-founders James Kroll (CEO) and Luc Enthoven (CTO), with scientific support from Fabio Sebastiano and Masoud Babaie, both internationally recognized pioneers in cryogenic integrated circuits. The capital from this round will be used to expand the team and accelerate the transition from academic research to manufacturable hardware. FrostByte’s roadmap includes scaling the production of its proprietary cryogenic switches and developing integrated circuits that can control and read out quantum devices locally. This “short-wire” approach is essential for the transition from laboratory prototypes to the industrial-scale quantum computers required for drug discovery,

The "Origin Wukong-180" quantum computer Photo: Sun Chao Chinese company Origin Quantum's self-developed fourth-generation "Origin Wukong-180" superconducting quantum computer officially went online on Saturday and has begun accepting quantum computing tasks from around the world, its developer told the Global Times. The developer said the latest breakthrough marks the first systematic integration of China's independently developed quantum computing power into the artificial intelligence (AI) application ecosystem, representing a key step in advancing China's self-developed quantum computers from being "usable" to becoming "practical and accessible." The computer is equipped with a single-core 180-qubit superconducting quantum chip, achieving 100-qubit-level quantum computing capability under a single-chip architecture. There is a major leap in technology and computing power in the new version, compared with the previous one. Its four key systems â the quantum computing chip system, quantum computing measurement and control system, quantum computing environment support system, and quantum computer operating system â were all independently developed, Origin Quantum said. The predecessor, the superconducting quantum computer "Origin Wukong," was equipped with a single-core 72-qubit quantum chip and went online on January 6, 2024. The system has now operated stably for more than two years, receiving about 50 million remote visits from users across more than 160 countries and completing more than 900,000 global quantum computing tasks. In 2025, it also achieved China's first overseas export sale of independently developed quantum computing power, said the company. On April 20, Origin Quantum announced that the "Origin Wukong" had initially gained the capability to support AI computing and had launched multiple quantum AI tools, including the quantum knowledge large model Origin Brain and QPanda3 Runtime MCP.

A phonon is absurdly small. The quantum of vibrational energy, the irreducible minimum of sound, it carries no mass and lives only briefly before dissolving back into the thermal noise of whatever material surrounds it. For quantum engineers trying to build the next generation of computing hardware, that brevity has long been the problem. You cannot build an information highway out of something that barely exists. And yet a team at Harvard has just demonstrated that a single phonon, one solitary packet of vibration humming through a sliver of engineered diamond, can reach inside an atomic defect and change its quantum state. The implications go considerably beyond the neat physics of the thing. The result, published in Nature, marks the first observation of what physicists call the acoustic Purcell effect at the level of a single spin qubit, and it plants a flag in a field that has been trying to get here for the better part of a decade. To understand why it matters, it helps to think about the problem quantum engineers are actually trying to solve. Today’s most capable quantum processors, whether they are built from superconducting circuits or from atomic defects in crystals, tend to be brilliant in isolation and terrible in conversation. Getting one type of qubit to hand quantum information to another is roughly like trying to get two musicians playing in different keys to improvise together without a shared instrument. Light has been the obvious candidate for connecting them, but light carries its own complications: it is hard to confine, easy to lose, and not every qubit talks to it naturally. Sound, it turns out, might offer something better. Marko Loncar, who leads the Harvard group, put it directly: “At the heart of the experiment is a phonon, the smallest possible unit of

A new 110-page report by Project Eleven warns that quantum computers could break the cryptography securing over $3 trillion in digital assets, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, by as early as 2030 and no later than 2033. This threat extends beyond cryptocurrencies to banking systems, cloud infrastructure, and military communications. Migrating to post-quantum cryptography is complex, requiring coordinated action across users, exchanges, and institutions, and could take a decade or more. The report highlights the urgency and coordination challenges, especially for Bitcoin, whose upgrades historically move slowly and involve political debates.

Scientists at the University of Georgia have developed a new method for efficiently simulating molecular dynamics using quantum computers. Joshua M. Courtney and P. C. Stancil demonstrate variational compression of quantum circuits, enabling the approximation of nonadiabatic dynamics with shallower, more hardware-compatible circuits. The method preserves key observable quantities, specifically reaction rate coefficients, through a hybrid quantum-classical optimisation method and fast-forwarded adiabatic dynamics. By compressing circuits and incorporating them into product-formula-based time evolution, the team achieved tunability in removing computationally expensive qubit interactions, representing a vital step towards simulating complex quantum systems with limited resources. Variational compression streamlines quantum simulation of molecular reaction rates A five-fold reduction in the number of quantum gates needed to simulate molecular dynamics has been achieved, surpassing the limitations of previous methods hampered by circuit depth. This reduction is particularly significant given the inherent limitations of current quantum hardware, where gate fidelity decreases with increasing circuit complexity. Enabled by variational compression of ‘Trotter terms’, a standard technique for evolving quantum states in time, this breakthrough allows circuits approximating particle behaviour in coupled harmonic potentials to be created. This was a feat previously impossible without excessive computational cost. The challenge lies in accurately representing the potential energy surface of molecules, which often requires deep quantum circuits to achieve the necessary precision. Previous approaches struggled with the exponential growth of circuit complexity as the system size increased, leading to intractable simulations. Tunable circuits removing high-cost qubit interactions were demonstrated by preserving reaction rate coefficients through classical emulation and fast-forwarded adiabatic dynamics; this is a key step towards simulating complex chemical systems, including those relevant to catalysis, photochemistry, and materials science. The ability to accurately model these systems could lead to the design of more efficient catalysts, improved solar cells, and novel materials with tailored properties. The compressed

The Growing Quantum Threat to Digital Assets Project Eleven's latest report issues a grave warning: over $3 trillion in digital assets could be vulnerable to theft within the next four to seven years. This widespread risk arises because current digital signatures, like those used in cryptocurrencies, can be broken by powerful quantum computers. The report, "Post-Quantum Security and Migration for Digital Assets," states that "Q-Day"—when quantum computers can crack widely used encryption—could arrive as early as 2030. Why This Threat is So Serious The global cryptocurrency market is currently valued at around $2.7 trillion, with Bitcoin alone exceeding $1.6 trillion. The cryptography securing this value, primarily elliptic curve digital signatures, is theoretically vulnerable to quantum machines using Shor's algorithm. This isn't just a crypto problem; it affects critical financial systems, cloud services, and secure communications, creating a risk of widespread disruption. The report emphasizes the biggest obstacle isn't technology but a severe lack of global cooperation, urgency, and funding for the necessary migration to quantum-resistant encryption. Upgrading complex systems can take five to over ten years, a timeline that directly clashes with Q-Day's potential arrival, leaving a dangerous window for attackers. Crypto Giants Begin Quantum Migration Efforts Major blockchain networks are beginning their preparations. The Ethereum Foundation has researched post-quantum cryptography since 2018 and aims for core infrastructure readiness by 2029, exploring hybrid schemes and account abstraction for gradual adoption. They recognize that current signatures (ECDSA, BLS, KZG commitments) will need upgrades. Solana's Foundation, working with validator clients Anza and Firedancer, is focusing on the Falcon digital signature scheme for a phased rollout. Cardano and Polkadot are also conducting research and development. Regulators are also stepping in. The G7 Cyber Expert Group published a roadmap in January 2026 targeting critical system migration by 2030-2032. Global cybersecurity spending is set to

Project Eleven warns Bitcoin faces quantum threat by 2030 A new report estimates 6.9 million BTC are vulnerable to quantum attacks, and the window for migration may be closing faster than anyone expected. Here’s a thought experiment that should keep Bitcoin holders up at night: what happens when a machine can crack the cryptography protecting your wallet in minutes instead of millennia? According to quantum computing research firm Project Eleven, that scenario isn’t science fiction anymore. It’s a planning horizon. The firm’s latest report argues that quantum computers could breach the encryption underpinning Bitcoin by 2030, putting roughly 6.9 million BTC at direct risk. At current prices, that’s approximately $560 billion worth of Bitcoin sitting in addresses with exposed public keys, essentially waiting for a sufficiently powerful quantum computer to come along and pick the lock. The vulnerability, explained The 6.9 million BTC figure comes from older address formats that expose public keys directly on the blockchain. Newer address types, like those starting with “bc1,” hash the public key before recording it on-chain, adding a layer of protection. But millions of coins, including some believed to belong to Bitcoin’s pseudonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto, sit in legacy addresses where the public key is visible to anyone who cares to look. Project Eleven’s report estimates a greater than 50% likelihood that quantum computers will be capable of breaking these protections by 2033. The 2030 date represents a more aggressive but plausible timeline, depending on the pace of hardware breakthroughs. Why “gradual” isn’t how this works One of the more unsettling arguments in the report is that quantum computing progress won’t arrive like a slowly rising tide. It’s more likely to come in explosive bursts. Recent research has validated cracking a 15-bit elliptic curve key using quantum methods. That sounds impressive until you

Scientists have created a new way to generate powerful quantum interactions, achieving the first-ever demonstration of quadsqueezing. This breakthrough makes previously hidden quantum effects visible and usable for advanced technologies. Oxford Scientists Demonstrate First-Ever Quadsqueezing Quantum Interaction Researchers at the University of Oxford have achieved a major advance in quantum physics by demonstrating a new kind of interaction using a single trapped ion. By carefully producing and controlling increasingly complex forms of “squeezing” – including a fourth-order effect called quadsqueezing – the team has made quantum behaviors observable that had previously been out of reach. The method also introduces a new way to design and control these interactions, with possible applications in quantum simulation, sensing, and computing. The findings were published on May 1 in Nature Physics. Quantum Oscillators and Their Role in Technology Many systems in physics behave like tiny vibrating objects, similar to springs or pendulums. In the quantum world, these are called quantum harmonic oscillators. This framework can describe light waves, molecular vibrations, and even the motion of a single trapped atom. The ability to control these oscillations is essential for a range of quantum technologies, including extremely sensitive measurement devices and emerging quantum computers. How Squeezing Improves Quantum Precision One widely used method for controlling quantum oscillators is known as squeezing. In quantum mechanics, there are limits on how precisely certain pairs of properties, such as position and momentum, can be measured at the same time. Squeezing redistributes this uncertainty, allowing one property to be measured more precisely at the cost of increased uncertainty in the other. This effect is already used in real-world applications. For example, squeezed light helps improve the sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors such as LIGO. Moving Beyond Standard Squeezing Standard squeezing is only part of a broader class of interactions. Physicists have

zapp2photo - stock.adobe.com Quantum moves from promise to practice at IBM Think 2026 Quantum computing is becoming a reality at major companies, from Boeing to Allstate. Quantum -- especially when paired with AI -- promises better business outcomes. BOSTON -- Quantum computing is finally producing results that matter to science and industry, according to presentations at IBM Think 2026. Quantum computing aims to use the unique behaviors of quantum physics to solve problems that are too complex for classical computing. It held a prominent spot alongside AI and hybrid cloud in the opening keynote of IBM Think, taking place in Boston this week. Presentations during the conference also included news that the Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN and IBM performed the largest-known simulation of biologically meaningful molecules with quantum hardware. Boeing and Allstate also presented on real-world quantum usage. While quantum computing has been in development for years, quantum advantage, the point at which quantum computers can perform computations more accurately and efficiently, has yet to arrive. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna predicted that quantum advantage will be reached within the year. "That's not 20 years away. That's not 10 years away. That's within this year," Krishna said during his keynote presentation on Tuesday. "The gap is closing faster than most people realize or appreciate." Quantum at work Cleveland Clinic, RIKEN and IBM used IBM quantum computers and two supercomputers -- Fugaku and Miyabi-G -- to simulate protein complexes spanning up to 12,635 atoms. The project's success was partly due to quantum-centric supercomputing, a hybrid approach that combines quantum computers with classical supercomputers to solve complex problems that neither could handle effectively on their own. This project simulated a system large enough to represent what exists in nature and achieved appropriate accuracy. In drug design, if scientists can reliably predict how molecules will
