Layered Security, Le Périt Graal

Yes, the holy grail of a fundamental security architecture component has evidently, been illuminated by the light of rational analysis, and found wanting...

Airborne Quantum Communication

Fascinating tale of quantum key exchange theories, this time with aircraft [in transit] to ground communication stations. Researchers responsible for this outstanding effort are Sebastian Nauerth,  Florian Moll,  Markus Rau, Christian Fuchs, Joachim Horwath,  Stefan Frick  & Harald Weinfurter. Today's Must Read.

Quantum Computation, The Mulligan

 

Notwithstanding this post has quantitatively less to do with Irish Names of Place than any other particular post at Infosecurity.US, it does have much to do about taking a proverbial and mathematical mhaolagain, [whilst simultaneously embracing my inner Irishman {especially at this time of the year}]  A quant a dhéanamh thar*... In this regards, a computational do over -  of the quantum sort, is in order; as it were.

 *Irish Gaelic, def. 'a do over', a 'dhéanamh thar'

L'histoire se Répète: le Tambour

Evidence of history repeating itself provided proof to the ancient adage yesterday, with the news of the release of a new-old computational memory construct, this time targeting quantum computation. The construct? Drum memory [utilized in SEAC], this time, on a chip [see below].

Quantum, Occidere Gaudium

via El Reg's Richard Chirgwin [in typically superb reportage], comes the astonishing tale of two killjoys - quantum killjoys, as it were. Essentially, after a third of a century of research, not only has quantum entanglement not been unequivocally proven, the issue taints quantum cryptography as well.

Lumbricus Terrestris, Nanoscale Semiconductor Fab

John Timmer, of ArsTechnica's well researched  screed, detailing the astounding capability of Lumbricus Terrestris' [the so-called common earthworm] liver to fabricate quantum dots [nanoscale-sized pieces of semiconductor]. A phenom, if there ever was one...

'Infinitesimally Short Time Measurement' Enhances Fibre Security

Fascinating report, by John Markoff, via the New York Times, targeting the Toshiba and Cambridge University research partnership exploring the security implications of quantum light remnants in fibre optic transmissions. Outstanding!
