Quantum-Safe Payments.
Industry white paper for the Emerging Payments Association Asia. The structural threat quantum computing poses to payment infrastructure, and the case for coordinated action now.
EPAA · September 2025
Why the payments industry must act now.
Regulators are treating harvest-now-decrypt-later as a credible present risk. This paper outlines the structural threat and the urgent case for coordinated action across wholesale payment rails.

Lucy's Flash Drive, Revisited: What Besson Saw About Knowledge Migrating to Machines
Twelve years after Lucy, Besson's metaphor of knowledge migrating from flesh to machine is being quietly validated by LLMs, neutral atom qubits, and whole-brain emulation.

Quantum Thresholds Are Moving Again
A new paper suggests Shor's algorithm could run on as few as 10,000 qubits. The threshold for cryptographically relevant quantum computing is dropping fast.
