Australia risks AI repeat unless it leads in quantum tech

Australia risks repeating its reactive response to artificial intelligence unless it swiftly establishes itself as a global leader in quantum technology, according to Sydney Quantum Academy Director Professor Peter Turner. The warning comes on World Quantum Readiness Day, coinciding with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s address to the United Nations on digital safety, and highlights a potential disconnect between Australia’s public messaging and its quantum preparedness. “Sitting on the sideline is not an option, because this is a global phenomenon that we are having,” Albanese told reporters during a recent visit to Silicon Valley. The CSIRO predicts the emerging quantum industry could generate 19,400 Australian jobs and be worth $6 billion, figures considered conservative given recent global investment. Australia Risks “Quantum Winter” Repeating AI Catch-Up Australia faces a shrinking timeframe to avoid repeating past technological setbacks, with the Australian Signals Directorate and Australian Cyber Security Centre recently issuing guidelines recommending organizations transition to post-quantum cryptography by 2030. This urgency contrasts with the current legislative landscape, where Australia lacks specific federal or state laws governing quantum technology, a situation Professor Peter Turner of Sydney Quantum Academy views as a potential risk. Turner argues that a passive approach, similar to that taken with artificial intelligence, could leave the nation playing catch-up once again. The parallel to the “AI winter” of the 1960s looms large, a period when stalled progress, funding cuts, and waning enthusiasm forced AI development underground for decades. According to the Federal Government’s State of Australian Quantum Report 2024, only 27% of Australians have even heard of quantum technologies, suggesting a significant awareness gap. This lack of public understanding, combined with a declining number of STEM professionals, presents a challenge to building a

QuintessenceLabs helps firms move beyond quantum risk scans

At the Quantum World Congress Park in Maryland, QuintessenceLabs debuted TSF Sentry, a new system that moves beyond identifying cryptographic vulnerabilities to offer automated remediation. The Canberra-based quantum cybersecurity company’s offering provides continuous visibility into an organization’s cryptographic use, connecting findings directly to the applications needing repair. “Knowing where you stand doesn’t make you quantum-safe – it just shows your vulnerabilities,” said Andreas Baumhof, Chief Technology Officer at QuintessenceLabs, explaining that TSF Sentry actively addresses those weaknesses, alongside a new Post Quantum Cryptography Readiness Assessment to guide prioritization. TSF Sentry Delivers Cryptographic Visibility and Automated Remediation TSF Sentry directly addresses a critical gap in current cybersecurity practices by automating remediation of identified cryptographic vulnerabilities, a feature extending beyond simple vulnerability scanning. The system connects cryptographic findings to the specific applications requiring attention, enabling targeted, application-level fixes rather than leaving security teams to investigate hundreds of isolated issues, QuintessenceLabs says. This capability stems from a continuous cryptographic inventory and guidance system designed to relate findings to the applications performing the cryptographic operations, allowing organizations to address multiple vulnerabilities through a single remediation effort. QuintessenceLabs integrated an application programming interface allowing these workflows to connect with existing enterprise automation frameworks. The introduction of TSF Sentry coincides with the release of a Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness Assessment, providing a structured, risk-based blueprint for organizations transitioning to quantum-resistant cryptography.

memQ DQC lets users map quantum circuits to any network design

memQ has released an open-source framework, memQ DQC, designed to compile and schedule quantum programs across distributed networks, tackling a core challenge in scaling quantum computing beyond single-device limitations. A key feature is the “graphical Quantum Network Constructor,” enabling visual definition of processors and links, moving beyond purely code-based network design. When a circuit requires qubits on different processors, this is a necessary step toward realizing the potential of entanglement-based quantum systems. Graphical Quantum Network Constructor Enables Hardware Experimentation MemQ DQC provides users with control over gate and coherence times, a feature distinguishing it from tools limited to specific hardware configurations. This modality-agnostic design allows experimentation with diverse qubit technologies and processor architectures without requiring code modifications for each new system. The framework’s flexibility extends to modeling entanglement generation as either deterministic or stochastic, enabling investigation into how network uncertainty impacts program execution. Accounting for error is paramount to reliable computation, as quantum networks are rarely perfect. To further simplify hardware exploration, the framework incorporates a “graphical Quantum Network Constructor,” allowing visual definition of processors, qubit connectivity, and quantum links. This visual approach moves beyond purely code-based network design, making experimentation more accessible to a wider range of users. Researchers can therefore rapidly prototype and test different network topologies, assessing their impact on circuit performance without extensive programming effort. The ability to model qubit movement between processors via state teleportation adds another layer of realism to these simulations. This process generates a distributed quantum program that respects the connectivity and capacity of the target system, and a scheduler then assigns operation

Interview with Matthias Troyer, Vice President & Technical Fellow at Microsoft

Overview In this interview, Global Quantum Intelligence’s George Schwartz and Microsoft’s Matthias Troyer discuss the primary pathways, economic realities, and technical bottlenecks associated with scaling quantum computing to achieve practical utility. They analyze the viability of various qubit architectures—highlighting why Microsoft favors topological and neutral atom technologies over alternatives like transmons—and evaluate target applications, concluding that quantum chemistry offers true commercial value while big data, machine learning, and optimization face significant speed and data I/O limitations. Additionally, Troyer addresses the necessity of accelerating transitions to post-quantum cryptography, details how AI integration can help resolve critical classical embedding problems in molecular simulations, and advocates for evaluating quantum developments using holistic metrics—specifically end-to-end cost in “dollars per solution” and a four-dimensional framework for measuring logical qubit capabilities. Transcript George Schwartz:At GQI, we’re tracking the quantum ecosystem, and we’re seeing all these incredible different modalities, projections, a lot of things that happen at this conference of QEC, all these different types of improvements in decoding, for example with Nvidia, what you were showing today in your talk about all the parallels between CPU and a QPU. We want to stay in pace with the industry as possible and really want to get insights and also your thoughts here about fault tolerance, utility scale, and you had really great points about when you’re working at scaling, how do you make it cost effective. To have the discussion going in that direction, I can let you comment a little bit in general and then I can have maybe some specific questions. Matthias Troyer:So that’s for background for you, for understanding, or do you want to publish something based on that? Just for context for me. George Schwartz:We’re probably going to write up the

PQC for Dummies—Cisco Special Edition: Why we wrote it - Cisco Blogs

Cisco Blogs Networking PQC for Dummies—Cisco Special Edition: Why we wrote it Albert Chiang Networking September 22, 2026 • 2 min read • 4 min listen Quantum computing is rapidly evolving from a theoretical concept to a practical reality, promising revolutionary advances across many fields. However, this new technology also poses significant risks to the security of data transmitted over networks today. Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) for Dummies—Cisco Edition was written to demystify these complex topics, explaining the basics of quantum computing, its potential benefits and dangers, and how Cisco is pioneering solutions to protect data and devices in the quantum era. Learning quantum computing and its dual impact Quantum computers leverage principles such as superposition and entanglement to perform calculations far beyond the capabilities of classical computers. This power holds the promise of breakthroughs in medicine, artificial intelligence, optimization, and more. Yet, the same capabilities threaten current cryptographic methods that secure our digital communications. Quantum computers could break widely used encryption algorithms, exposing sensitive data. The “harvest now, decrypt later” threat One of the most pressing concerns is the “harvest now, decrypt later” (HNDL) attack. Cyber adversaries can capture encrypted data today and store it, waiting until quantum computers become powerful enough to decrypt it. This means that information considered secure now could be compromised in the future, putting privacy and security at risk. Post-quantum cryptography: A quantum-resistant solution Prior to joining Cisco, my knowledge of quantum computing was limited to vague memories of wave and particle theory from my school days and fragmented images of quantum hardware found online. After several weeks of in-depth study, which included reading publications from Cisco Research and the Cisco Quantum Lab, I began to gain a practical understanding of quantum computing a

QNu Labs Maps National Cryptographic Sovereignty Capabilities

Assessing national preparedness for post-quantum cryptography has focused solely on readiness, strategy, inventory, standards adoption and skills. The Readiness, Sovereignty Capability Model (RSCM) now measures both cryptographic readiness alongside genuine cryptographic sovereignty at a national level. Applying this model to fifty-seven actors revealed that twenty countries clear the gate for establishing quantum-safe capacity; weighted agreement between coders reached 0.71. This establishes a new way to evaluate how well nations are prepared for post-quantum cryptography by also quantifying cryptographic sovereignty. The analysis of fifty-seven countries revealed twenty currently possess the means to build their own strong quantum-safe systems domestically. This highlights that being ready to adopt these new technologies differs from actually controlling their development and implementation within national borders. Multimedia University has developed a system to assess national preparedness for post-quantum cryptography, going beyond simply measuring readiness by also quantifying control over them. The team’s Readiness, Sovereignty Capability Model (RSCM) functions like a scoring system used to evaluate how well nations are equipped both to adopt the latest encryption technologies and maintain control over them. Indigenous Cryptographic Capacity, a country’s ability to design, develop, and manufacture its own cryptography tools, is akin to having an in-house engineering department rather than relying solely on outside vendors.
