Google and the UK's National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) have announced a collaboration, providing researchers access to Google's advanced Willow quantum processors through grants.
Proposals are due by January 31, 2026.
Quantum computing is advancing rapidly, with IBM’s roadmap aiming for quantum systems built from modules totaling over 4,000 qubits in 2025, and many industry roadmaps anticipating practically useful fault‑tolerant systems emerging around the 2030 horizon.
Willow highlights the accelerating quantum capabilities that underpin the emerging threat to today’s cryptography and reinforces the urgency behind NIST’s newly finalized post‑quantum encryption standards, which are intended to protect digital infrastructures from future quantum attacks.
This development serves as a critical reminder: accelerating quantum progress renders current encryption obsolete in the near term.
Organizations should prioritize integration of quantum-resistant technologies to safeguard assets.

Quantum-safe readiness has a score.
IBM’s Quantum‑Safe Readiness Index (QSRI) gives a shared language: scores, activities, phases to discuss quantum‑safe readiness with boards, regulators and partners.
Once quantum computers reach sufficient scale and stability, many of today’s widely deployed encryption schemes can be broken, and that’s a problem because cryptography underpins everything from payment rails and core banking to smart contracts and cross‑chain bridges. Governments have already moved: NIST’s 2024 PQC standards are now the de facto reference for quantum‑resistant algorithms, with the UK, Europe and multiple Asia‑Pacific countries building national PQC migration plans around them.
QSRI itself is built on 14 activities across three areas: quantum‑safe discovery, observability and transformation combined into a 100‑point index that can be re‑assessed over time for organizations, industries and regions.
The 2025 results show discovery and observability improving faster than transformation, which means many players are still just mapping where cryptography lives instead of fully rebuilding for a quantum‑safe world.
QSRI puts the 2025 global average at 25/100, only a modest rise from 21 in 2023, while the top 10% quantum‑safe champions are already scoring 35–50.
IBM warns that quantum computers capable of breaking today’s encryption may show up five to six years before most organizations finish that migration.
For blockchains and Web3, this isn’t just about swapping algorithms; it’s about treating post‑quantum cryptography and quantum‑safe design as core to how chains are built, upgraded and governed.

“Elliptic curves are going to die,” Vitalik Buterin stated, underscoring that quantum computers might break elliptic curve cryptography, the foundation of Ethereum's and Bitcoin’s security, by 2028. Just a few years away.
But that vulnerability also sparks innovation.
QAN XLINK answers the call with its quantum-safe, Ethereum-compatible protocol, recently validated by Hacken's audit.
This shows how blockchain can safeguard itself against quantum risks while keeping interoperability intact.
The countdown to a quantum-secure future is on, the crypto world must evolve or risk becoming obsolete.

🚨 Google's Willow delivered the first verifiable quantum advantage - solving problems 13,000x faster than supercomputers with breakthrough error correction. It can, for example, compute the structure of a molecule, and paves a path towards real-world applications.
This signals quantum acceleration is happening faster than most timelines predicted.
The enterprise reality check:
💰 About 25% of Bitcoin—around $554 billion—is vulnerable to quantum attacks from exposed public keys.
⏰ The timeline just compressed. NIST experts predicted quantum threats by 2030-2035, but Willow's error correction suggests we're moving faster.
🎯 "Harvest now, decrypt later" is already happening - adversaries might be collecting encrypted data today, waiting for quantum capability to crack it later.
1 in 3 Fortune 500 companies already have a quantum security strategy. Every blockchain running on RSA/ECC faces the same quantum cliff.
The question isn't IF quantum computers will break current encryption - it's WHEN.
The choice you make today determines whether your systems survive tomorrow's quantum reality.

On Monday, a single DNS configuration error at AWS’s US-East data center disrupted 113 services from Coinbase’s Base app showing zero balances for some coins, to Signal, airlines, banks, and even smart homes.
For several hours, a single point of failure in Amazon’s cloud infrastructure rippled worldwide, freezing millions out of essential systems.
Incidents like this reveal how deeply centralized our digital world truly is. If one technical misstep can halt critical services globally, imagine the implications when quantum computers mature, computers capable of breaking today’s encryption standards in seconds.
The outage wasn’t an attack, yet it exposed a larger truth: fragility doesn’t always come from hackers. Sometimes it’s built into the way the internet itself works.
As the quantum era approaches, security resilience must evolve beyond just redundancy or firewalls. It demands decentralization, quantum-resistant encryption, and forward-looking infrastructure.
We’re thrilled to announce that QANplatform has joined Blockchain for Europe (@BlockchainforEU), the leading European trade association representing the global blockchain industry.
The involvement of QANplatform strengthens the association’s advocacy for a secure and innovative European blockchain ecosystem, bringing expertise crucial for navigating the evolving threat landscape and unlocking new opportunities for businesses and governments across the continent.
QANplatform joins over 30 other industry leaders within Blockchain for Europe, adding its expertise in quantum-resistant blockchain technology to the association’s collective advocacy.
