President Trump signed executive orders to expedite U.S. quantum computing leadership and harden federal cybersecurity against future quantum threats. The mandate significantly moves up the deadline for implementing quantum-resistant encryption across government networks.

The Stellar Development Foundation has unveiled a strategic roadmap to implement post-quantum cryptography to protect against future quantum computing attacks. The plan leverages Stellar's unique architecture to allow for seamless key migration without altering user addresses.

Researchers propose utilizing ultrastable lasers placed in permanently shadowed lunar craters to create a self-sufficient navigation system, effectively functioning as a lunar GPS. This method leverages the extreme cold and vacuum of these craters to stabilize precision optical cavities, which is critical for future Artemis missions and lunar infrastructure development.

PacketLight and Quantum XChange have launched a strategic solution to enhance the security of optical transport networks. This joint platform integrates both post-quantum cryptography and physics-based QKD, offering carriers and defense networks protection against future decryption threats.
