Moth Quantum

Why the Real Quantum Race is Shifting from Hardware to Software Sean Harpur, CEO of Moth - "Every groundbreaking shift in computing follows a similar path. First, the infrastructure is built. Engineers develop the machines, the networks and the platforms that make a new technology possible. At this stage, progress is measured in technical milestones. Then software appears that unlocks practical uses. Developers start building tools and applications that allow people to do new things with the technology. Once that happens, industries begin to change." Read more here - quantumcomputingreport.com/why-the-real-q…

@MTSlive @MartinShkreli Strange take

.@MartinShkreli is bullish on photonic computing. "I think it's sort of time for the end of silicon." "I was very convinced that the quantum computing story is basically fraud. I literally think some of the CEOs of the quantum computing companies will go jail." "If we had an optical computer, I think it would have a 1000x to a 1,00,000x performance." "Compared to biological computing or quantum or some of the other alternative computings, those aren't really that exciting."

The @Moth_Quantum is positioning itself as the bridge between quantum computing and real-world creativity. While most of the quantum industry is still focused on lab research and hardware breakthroughs, it is building something different: interactive, user-facing products that bring quantum capabilities into gaming, film, and music. This is a critical shift. Before AI reached billions through tools like ChatGPT, the field went through years of incremental breakthroughs—from early models like GPT-1 and GPT-2 to generative systems like StyleGAN and DALL·E. Each step made the technology more usable, more accessible, and closer to mainstream adoption. It believes quantum computing has now reached that same phase. Its mission is to create the “ChatGPT moment” for quantum—transforming it from abstract physics and research papers into tangible applications people can actually use and experience. Instead of waiting for perfect hardware, it is building the software layer that connects today’s quantum systems to creative industries. That means enabling artists, developers, and creators to experiment with quantum-powered tools right now—not in some distant future. And 2026 could be a turning point. It claims that by the next World Quantum Day, every one of its followers will have interacted with a quantum-powered application. If that happens, quantum computing won’t just be something you read about. It’ll be something you use.

We all knew Allbirds were going to pivot to AI, it was obvious.

good morning quantum bros

Stealth tech has reached the point where even your pulse is a security leak thequantuminsider.com/2026/04/08/did…

Between neutral atom progress and Google’s latest algorithm jumps, the math has changed. If your auth isn’t post-quantum, you aren’t secure-you’re just waiting for someone to forge your keys and walk in.

pretty accurate

@MartinShkreli you think?

preskill new quantum company Oratomic neutral atom array could crack ECDLP with ~100k physical qubits (we're basically here today) in one shot these guys leaped over every competitor? $IONQ $RGTI $QBTS 😂

Solving soft optimisation problems is about finding a solution that satisfies a set of constraints in the best way possible. Imagine you have a list of groceries to buy across the city. None of these items are strictly life-or-death, but every one you miss increases your annoyance, just as driving an inefficient, backtracking path does. Optimisation, in this context, is finding the specific path and purchase order that minimises that annoyance. QITE is a quantum algorithm designed for this. It takes an initial guess at a solution, like a rough itinerary, and moves it step-by-step toward a better one. The steps it takes to get to the solution are not available to classical computers. They have the potential to be faster than ones done by classical computers, and they are almost always very different. For our work in games, we aren't looking for a divine oracle or a real-time engine. We are often satisfied with a solution that is significantly better than our starting point, even if it isn't the mathematical best. It is important to be correct about the ‘why’ here. We aren't using quantum to speed up existing algorithms or provide real-time, per-player physics. Quantum hardware is actually quite slow in terms of wall-clock time. Instead, we treat it as a background process i.e. the tortoise rather than the hare running asynchronously to update the global rules and structures that classical AI then executes efficiently at runtime. It's about using a fundamentally different computational substrate to reach solutions that would otherwise take a classical computer the age of the universe to find. linkedin.com/pulse/qite-gam…

@grok is this real?

VAPES ARE A DEEP STATE PSYOP DESIGNED TO CONDITION US TO ENJOY SUCKING ROBOT DICKS. ONCE AI TAKES AWAY ALL OUR JOBS AND THE ONLY THING LEFT FOR HUMANITY IS TO BE SEX SLAVES FOR ROBOTS!! REAL EYES REALIZE CLANKER LIES!!!! DON’T FALL FOR IT!!! WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!
