Archer Materials’ June newsletter covers how businesses are already starting to use quantum, how there is a growing need for the earlier diagnosis of chronic kidney disease, how quantum computing could improve cancer research, and Google hacking faster with quantum encryption.

Businesses Already Using Quantum Across Applications

An article in Tech Informed covers how quantum is not just only in the lab right now but is also growing amongst businesses.

There are already some businesses using quantum computing to optimise logistics and supply chain operations to reduce the time of manufacturing processes and improve mobile network performance by reducing congestion at base stations.

The Need for Earlier Diagnosis of Chronic Kidney Disease

An article in The Conversation details how chronic kidney disease (CKD) needs to be diagnosed early to prevent severe outcomes.

Many people do not know that they have chronic kidney disease — it can be driven by high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, and dehydration. In places like the US, there can be barriers to early treatment such as insurance or lack of records.

This is why there is a need for technologies such as Archer’s Biochip, as it looks to diagnose chronic kidney disease earlier and at-home.

Quantum Could Bolster Skin Cancer Research

Researchers from the University of Sydney’s Nanoscience Hub have experimented with quantum computing applications that could help lead to better sunscreen and improved skin cancer research.

The researchers used a quantum machine to understand how atoms interact with light and form new compounds, which could lead to applications that simulate chemical reactions and dynamics involving light.

Google Finds That It Can Hack Faster With Quantum

Google Quantum AI has found that it can break an encryption key that is commonly used for safeguarding data, faster than previously thought, by using fewer qubits.

The study stated that it could break the RSA-2048 encryption in under a week using fewer than one million noisy qubits with low error cycles.

It shows that cybersecurity standards by bodies such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology need to be improved ahead of the coming wave of quantum communications capabilities for hacking.
