Is QDay approaching? QuantWare presents its 10,000-qubit quantum processor

Redazione RHC 10/12/2025

The world of quantum technology has made an impressive leap forward: QuantWare has unveiled the world’s first 10,000-qubit processor, 100 times more than any existing device . Furthermore, the new chip takes up even less space than current systems, making this breakthrough particularly noteworthy amid years of stagnation in quantum processor scalability. For nearly a decade, the industry has failed to surpass the 100-qubit threshold. Google managed to go from 53 to 105 qubits in just six years, while IBM introduced a 1,121-qubit processor in 2023 and doesn’t expect significant growth until at least 2028. Faced with hardware limitations, companies have been

Pat Gelsinger on Quantum Computing Impact on AI Future

Redazione RHC 07/12/2025

Former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger has shared a series of assessments on the future of computing, and in particular, the evolution of artificial intelligence. In an interview with the Financial Times , Gelsinger argued that the current expansion of AI could come to a sudden halt following a breakthrough in quantum computing, capable of reshaping the entire technology sector. Gelsinger describes the relationship between conventional computing, AI-based systems, and quantum technologies as a kind of “trinity,” destined to profoundly redefine the digital ecosystem. In his view, quantum computers will become commonplace tools much more quickly than currently believed. This position contrasts sharply

Quantum Computing vs. Artificial Intelligence: Which Will Really Change the Future?

Redazione RHC 27/11/2025

Quantum mechanics remains a complex and mysterious field, both difficult to explain and difficult to understand. This branch of physics studies the unusual behavior of tiny particles, phenomena that are opening up new scientific possibilities with potentially revolutionary applications. Despite the pronouncements and investments of tech giants like Microsoft and Google, quantum computing remains less visible compared to the growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI). Generally, while AI is predominantly software-oriented and relies on existing hardware, quantum technology requires specialized physical devices such as sensors and quantum computers, which are still bulky, expensive, and rare today. Brian Hopkins , vice president and

NIST selects second PQC Key Encapsulation algorithm

Tara Lie 18/03/2025

The fourth round of the American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) competition has selected HQC as a secondary quantum-resilient key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) to the previously selected ML-KEM (based on CRYSTALS-Kyber). HQC, or “Hemming Quasi-Cyclic” in full, is a code-based KEM which utilises the cryptographically challenging Quasi-Cyclic Syndrome Decoding Problem as its base and built around the concept of error-correcting codes. NIST has stated that they have selected HQC as a backup algorithm to ML-KEM, which utilises a different mathematical approach. ML-KEM is a modular lattice-based algorithm which was first selected by NIST in 2022, and

Microsoft presents Majorana 1: The Quantum Processor Promising to Reshape the Future

Tara Lie 24/02/2025

Microsoft has taken a significant step forward in the field of quantum computing with the launch of its first quantum processor: Majorana 1. Unlike most quantum chips that are based on electron-based qubits, this revolutionary processor exploits Majorana particles, a revolutionary development in the field. At the World Governments Summit in Dubai last week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai compared quantum computing to artificial intelligence from a decade ago, highlighting its potential to reshape the future. Despite its promises, quantum computing remains one of the most complex challenges in modern science. Microsoft presents Majorana 1 In a revolutionary announcement on Wednesday, Microsoft presented

RHC interviews Professor Andrea Morello from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation at the University of New South Wales in Australia
