+    Tuta Mail has announced TutaCrypt, a new post-quantum encryption protocol to secure communications from powerful and anticipated decryption attacks.
+
+    TutaCrypt combines CRYSTALS-Kyber (Also used in QRL Zond) for post-quantum key encapsulation and X25519 for the Elliptic-Curve-Diffie-Hellmann key exchange.

+  date: 2024-03-11
+  blurb: |
+    JILA breakthrough in integrating artificial atoms with photonic circuits advances quantum computing efficiency and scalability.
+
+    Historically, there have been problems with integrating artificial atoms with photonic circuits. This is because creating the artificial atoms (where atoms are knocked out of a diamond crystal) is a very random process, leading to random placement of the artificial atoms, random number of artificial atoms at each location, and random color each artificial atom emits.
+
+    In a new Nano Letters paper, Sun, his research team, and collaborators from Stanford University proposed a new method that would pave the way to solving these two challenges, enabling a more complicated integrated quantum photonic circuit.
