Many of you are already familiar with Silicon Catalyst and the value it brings to semiconductor startups, the industry and the electronics industry at large. Silicon Catalyst is an organization that supports early-stage semiconductor startups with an ecosystem that provides tools and resources needed to design, create, and… Read More
To create quantum computing chips today, a typical designer must cobble various tools together, switching back and forth between them for different tasks. By contrast, EDA solutions such as Keysight Advanced Design System (ADS) unify a design workflow in a single interface with automated data exchange between features. In … Read More
Over the last few years, there has been an increase in news about quantum computing. Much of this news coverage has been around computing supremacy, potential threats to information security and quantum cryptography. While the field of quantum computing is still in its early stages, there are several companies who have already… Read More
In a recent marketing campaign, WhatsApp (and by extension, its parent company Meta) mocks the ubiquitous but unsecure messaging vehicle, SMS, saying anyone can read plain texts and mobile users should use some means of secure messaging. Apps like WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage, and WeChat have each attracted over 1 billion … Read More
News of cyberattacks is routine these days in spite of the security mechanisms built into widely used electronics systems. It is not surprising that entities involved with ensuring safe and secure systems are continually working on enhancing encryption/decryptions mechanisms. Recently NIST standardized cryptography algorithms… Read More
In cybersecurity circles, the elephant in the room is a quantum computer in the hands of nefarious actors. A day is coming, soon, when well-funded organizations will be able to rent time on, or maybe even build or buy a quantum machine. Then, if data is valuable enough, people will hunt for it. Two or three months of compute time on a … Read More
Quantum Computing is the area of study focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory. Tens of billions of public and private capitals are being invested in Quantum technologies. Countries across the world have realized that quantum technologies can be a major disruptor of existing businesses,… Read More
