There was a peal of bells, ringing Stedman Doubles, to celebrate the art of bellringing at St Marys in Edinburgh.
More quantum computing and networking material. I’m reading in to the topic, looking for examples of actual utility as well as examples of investment for building out infrastructure.
Q-CTRL Calibration for quantum computing https://q-ctrl.com/technology/quantum-computer-autocalibration? a robust state machine that orchestrates routines from the Function Library, translating them into controller-specific commands and executing them on local hardware. Measurement data flows back for analysis, powering a continuous feedback loop that enhances system performance over time.

Cloudflare on security for Post Quantum Computing https://www.eetimes.com/inside-the-pqc-overhaul-a-year-later/ Cloudflare has already integrated post-quantum key agreements into the majority of its infrastructure. “Post-quantum encryption is already becoming the default,” Westerbaan said. “I expect that within a year, most TLS connections on the internet will be quantum-secure.” Nevertheless, full migration across hardware, embedded systems, and critical infrastructure will take much longer.

IonQ press https://investors.ionq.com/news/default.aspx Chemical simulation https://investors.ionq.com/news/news-details/2025/IonQ-Speeds-Quantum-Accelerated-Drug-Development-Application-With-AstraZeneca-AWS-and-NVIDIA/default.aspx IonQ and its partners demonstrated a large-scale, end-to-end simulation of a Suzuki-Miyaura reaction, which is the most complex chemical simulation run on IonQ hardware to date. (catalytic reaction with palladium for organic chemistry) The hybrid quantum-classical workflow – orchestrated via CUDA-Q on Amazon Braket, accelerated with NVIDIA H200 GPUs through AWS ParallelCluster – delivered more than a 20x speedup in time-to-solution compared to prior benchmarks. This advancement highlights the scalability of IonQ’s quantum systems and their practical potential in pharmaceutical R&D.
