Diraq has installed the world's first silicon spin quantum computer in a commercial data center, located at Equinix in Sydney. The system uses silicon spin qubits, a technology that combines mature semiconductor manufacturing processes with longer coherence times and better scalability. Diraq plans to scale the system to 256 qubits within the same deployment over the next year.

The data center location allows for remote access, continuous monitoring, and operation in a controlled environment, enabling customers and partners to test quantum workloads alongside classical systems.

The Kubernetes Upgrade Trap: A Practical Roadmap to Escape Deprecated APIs, Broken Add-ons, and Endless Delays

Every Kubernetes platform team knows the situation. A new Kubernetes release becomes available, security updates arrive, and application teams ask when the cluster will be upgraded.

  • Inventory of components, dependencies, and owners is crucial to identify blockers before upgrades.
  • Systematic upgrade process should start early, not wait until upgrade day to avoid endless delays.

Why I chose a hybrid post-quantum design (ML-KEM-768 + X25519) for encrypted cloud storage

I'm building SecVault, a zero-knowledge encrypted cloud storage service. Files are encrypted on your device before upload, so the server never sees plaintext.

  • SecVault uses hybrid post-quantum design (ML-KEM-768 + X25519) for encrypted cloud storage.
  • Hybrid key encapsulation mechanism combines new ML-KEM-768 with battle-tested X25519.
  • Service offers file encryption, access revocation, and EU-based data storage.
