Project Eleven is an applied lab of builders & technologists at the intersection of quantum computing and cryptography formed in 2024 who see the coming collision of these two technologies. Today, I'm excited to announce that I've joined Project Eleven as a founder & CEO. Why.

Today, was overjoyed to discover one of my favorite math content creators, @kelseyahe, has her own YouTube channel now. She was formerly the host of the @PBS channel Infinite Series (RIP) about math, cryptography and related topics. Highly recommend checking out her series on.
What use is a system of linear equations with no solutions?. Post-quantum cryptography. New video.

ICYMI, three myths were busted:. ❌Quantum computing is decades away.✅ Recent breakthroughs have created a tangible timeline for a cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC). ❌Banks and traditional finance are just as exposed as Bitcoin & other cryptonetworks.✅Because.
"Quantum computing will be THE seismic event for blockchains in the next 5-10 years". Project 11 CEO @apruden08 and Andrea Rochetto, co-founder of @ephos_io discuss the development of quantum computing, threat model, and how to prepare. Thanks to @usv for hosting!

We're also building tools to help users proactively secure Bitcoin for the boat quantum future, starting with yellowpages: yellowpages is the first audited, post-quantum tool to enable users to generate unforgeable, timestamped claims over their BTC today.

So, the upshot is that the color code might be a more efficient mechanism to error-correct on this subset of "key" operations, at the cost of some tradeoffs. And this has now been experimentally validated.
