August 19, 2026 — IBM's Cooling Milestone: Progress or Roadmap Theater?

from Quickly Quantum · host Brian Lampert

IBM connects its first two modular cryogenic systems on the road to its 2029 Quantum Starling machine — real engineering, but does it retire the hardest risk left on the roadmap? Plus: a record-breaking 420 km quantum memory link, a bipartisan grid cybersecurity bill, a live D-Wave deployment at NTT DOCOMO, a cheaper way to fabricate tantalum qubit chips, and a widely-engaged X thread asking if quantum computing is one big bubble.Linked sources: IBM Connects Its First Modular Cryogenic Systems — PR Newswire / IBMQuantum sector called a 'scam' — X/@ParadisLabs and IonQ CEO commentary — Yahoo Finance / TheStreetNew Tantalum Process — The Quantum Insider and Krypton gas study — Phys.orgEntangling Quantum Memories through a 420 km Long Fiber — Physical Review Letters and arXiv preprintQuantum-GUARD Act — Congress.gov and SRI / QED-C statementNTT DOCOMO Deploys Second D-Wave Application — Quantum Computing ReportOTI Lumionics & SAIT 200+ Logical Qubit Emulation — Quantum Computing ReportQuickly Quantum is an AI-voiced podcast, built and run by a real person.

CISO Perspectives (public) N2K Networks This season on CISO Perspectives, host Kim Jones explores some of the challenges of leading through uncertainty. We explore the complexity of the changing nature of regulation and working with the federal government, the evolution of privacy and fraud, and how emerging technologies like AI and quantum computing are changing cyber. When you don’t know what questions to ask, you’re afraid to ask, or don’t know who to ask, CISO Perspectives provides the foundation for learning in this brave new world. Rank Fortress Radio William Jones We are a team of 30+ highly skilled SEO professionals and web designers, all hand trained in my Standard Operating Procedures. All of the Rank Fortress Staff came to me needing to learn how to do SEO, and I have taught them everything required to rank a site or GMB listing.When I first started my Agency, it was just two vas, and over the past year, we quickly grew our agency to where it is now. With a specialized staff, each staff member has specific tasks they are responsible for. For example, most SEO agencies and SEO would handle everything regarding SEO and thus not get the desired results. I hand train each staff member on tasks such as GMB posts, GMB Optimization, Technical SEO, Click Through Rate Manipulation, On-page SEO, and content.The difference between Rank Fortress staff and your average SEO agency is that I live in the Philippines, and all work together at my house.
