Could a niche 80s technology be the key to better quantum computers?
SEEQC, a quantum computing startup, is reviving superconducting computing circuits first explored in the 1980s to build more efficient quantum processors. New Scientist reports that the company, operating from a former IBM superconducting computing facility in New York, is developing digital single flux quantum technology that could dramatically reduce the energy costs and error rates plaguing current quantum systems.

Breaking encryption with a quantum computer just got 10 times easier
Researchers have developed a more efficient quantum computing approach using qLDPC codes that reduces qubit requirements for breaking RSA encryption by an order of magnitude. The new method enables qubits to interact beyond nearest neighbors, increasing information density and reducing the estimated qubit count from millions to approximately 100,000.
