Fun Fact for the day - with Google and CloudFlare pushing hybrid post-quantum key exchange by default, and with chrome and Firefox supporting it by default since December, around 1/3 of the total traffic we are analysing w/CryptoMon from regular operations is now PQC secured by default! 🚀

There's even a nifty mapping from qubits to symbits 👍

Gazing into a crystal ball, this maths could be very useful. A quaternionic take on the qubit, the symplectic bit or 'symbit' has some very nifty properties, mostly arising from the fact that U(N) is a subgroup of the symplectic group Sp(2N, R).

This is a fascinating study... What happens when Knowledge workers get access to LLMs? Well, it improves productivity AND quality, it seems. This will be a very interesting jumping off point for more work on this, I would hope... papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abs…
