Post-Quantum Cryptography

The deadlines are final.
Most migrations haven't started.

NIST finalised the ciphers. The NSA named the dates. Your regulator is writing them into law. The curious thing about a cryptographic deadline is that missing it doesn't feel like a crisis, until, rather suddenly, it does. Start in 2026 and finish calmly. Start in 2029 and you'll be photocopying keys at 2am.

Global PQC Migration Deadlines

The dates are set. Most of them are already close.

NIST set the ciphers. The NSA named the dates. Your regulator is writing them into law. We mapped every dated mandate from 20 jurisdictions, 77 in all, and linked each to its primary source. Move through the years, filter to where you operate, and see which deadlines actually bind you and which are only advice.

PQC Intelligence

Fourteen migrations. Most of them slightly wrong.

Cloudflare, SWIFT, Google, AWS went first. We read every post-mortem they published, and documented the 28 failure modes they'd rather you didn't notice. Read it before you draft your own plan. The fastest way to get good at anything is knowing which mistakes to skip.

Quantum Threat Scenarios

The machine that breaks your crypto hasn't been built. Probably.

Pick an algorithm. Pick a scenario. See the year it breaks. Four hardware timelines, grounded in published benchmarks rather than vibes. Harvest-now-decrypt-later isn't a theory, it's a filing cabinet, and your data's already in it. You leave with a number you can put in a memo.

Quantum Readiness

Most quantum strategy is theatre.
This is the data behind it.

There is a particular sort of memo, written after a boardroom has been told "quantum is important", that commits a company to a direction without ever citing a paper, a startup, or a number. We read the 1,222 papers. Tracked the 81 startups. Mapped the 251 investors behind $11.8B in rounds. Awkwardly useful beats strategically vague.

Quantum Readiness Repository

The market, minus the press releases.

Four questions a serious person asks before forming a view. Who's publishing. Who's building. Who's writing cheques. Who's actually paying. One sourced answer per question, none of them breathless. The next time a colleague says "quantum is important", you will know whether to agree.

Quantum Readiness Courses

Three courses. Zero physics degrees required.

Most quantum explainers fail one of two ways. They skip the maths so thoroughly you learn nothing, or they cram so much in you learn to hate it. These sit in the middle. Twenty-one chapters of plain English, with the maths that matters and none that doesn't. You'll hold the next quantum conversation in the room.

Quantum Value Map

Three problems you already have. The ordinary answer shown first.

Optimisation, simulation, prediction. Three live solvers that show where quantum can move a real number, each measured against the classical baseline before anything else. Sometimes the classical method wins, and we say so. You leave knowing whether a problem is worth a test, not whether quantum is exciting.

FTQC Reality Scorecard

"We have 100 logical qubits." Worth what?

A qubit count is a claim. This scores the real field. Six named demonstrations graded on whether their logical qubits can remember and whether they can compute, with what a lab measured kept apart from what a vendor announced. The one number that compares across labs is the suppression factor Lambda. Built on the Alice and Bob framework, CC BY-SA 4.0.
