QUANTUM THREAT INTELLIGENCE
Researchers at Anthropic and Harvard report that an AI model working in a closed loop with a circuit evaluator produced new designs for elliptic curve point addition, the core step in quantum attacks on today's public key cryptography, including one design with 17 times fewer gates than the smallest published alternative. These are paper results and resource estimates, not a demonstration on hardware. They matter because most of the shrinkage in what a cryptographically relevant quantum computer would need has come from better circuits, and Canadian deadlines assume that curve keeps bending.
Every advance in quantum computing shortens the window for migrating long lived infrastructure off quantum-vulnerable encryption, and data captured today can be decrypted later. Fabric Networks helps energy, government, telecom and community networks move to quantum-safe encryption on their own timeline, not an adversary's.
