forklog.media Oracle and Classiq Simulate 36-Qubit Quantum Circuit in the Cloud

Oracle Corporation and software developer Classiq have successfully tested a workflow for generating and simulating quantum code within the OCI cloud infrastructure. As part of a "proof of concept," the partners executed a portfolio optimization task based on the Markowitz model for 12 assets. A key feature of the experiment was the use of Classiq's AI agent, which prepared executable code from a natural language text query in less than 15 minutes. To verify the algorithm, a node of the NVIDIA DGX A100 supercomputer in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure was employed. Using the NVIDIA cuQuantum library, engineers simulated a 36-qubit circuit, significantly exceeding Classiq's standard platform limit of 29 qubits. The calculations were conducted on eight A100 graphics processors. According to project representatives, the full state vector model for 36 qubits requires about 512 GB of video memory. The application of a hybrid QAOA algorithm with a circuit depth of 730 allowed for the processing of a space of 68.7 billion combinations. The complete simulation cycle took five hours, with the final result deviating from the classical market benchmark by only 4.63%. Classiq emphasized that the project was not aimed at achieving quantum supremacy. Its purpose was to demonstrate the engineering link between AI code generation and scalable cloud computing for the financial sector and logistics. There is no evidence of superiority over the best classical methods. This is a demonstration of technological process, not a breakthrough in computational efficiency. Back in May, researchers at Multiverse Computing announced a quantum enhancement of a large language model on IBM equipment.

forklog.media Experts Question D-Wave’s Claims of Quantum Supremacy

Researchers from the Flatiron Institute and Boston University, supported by the Simons Foundation, have cast doubt on D-Wave's claims of quantum supremacy. On May 21, a paper was published in Science, asserting that some problems previously deemed unsolvable by classical computers can indeed be tackled using traditional methods. In an accompanying statement, the Simons Foundation noted that earlier claims of quantum supremacy are now "in question." The discussion revolves around a D-Wave article published last year in the same journal. At that time, the company claimed its system had performed quantum dynamics simulations beyond the reach of classical algorithms. According to D-Wave, the largest configurations would have required the Frontier supercomputer nearly a million years to compute. This assertion is now being challenged. The Core of the Dispute The Flatiron team employed a combination of tensor networks and a modified belief propagation algorithm. The researchers claimed they were able to reproduce calculations for several lattices using standard equipment—some experiments were even conducted on a laptop. The conclusion: at least some tasks presented as demonstrations of quantum supremacy are not beyond the reach of classical computing. D-Wave disagreed. On May 26, the company acknowledged the progress of classical methods but stated that the researchers only tested limited modes and did not replicate the full set of problems from the original work. According to the firm, the new paper does not cover the entire range of geometries, system sizes, interaction parameters, and measurable quantities. The debate extends beyond academic circles. On June 1, D-Wave will hold an Investor Day at the NYSE, where it promises to present its strategy, roadmap, and commercial prospects. CEO Alan Baratz stated that the industry is entering a phase of proven results rather than promises. Financial Implications The financial picture is mixed. In the first quarter of 2026, D-Wave reported record contracts worth $33.4 million, up from $1.6 million the previous year. These include the sale of a system to Florida Atlantic University for $20 million and a two-year quantum computing as a service agreement with a Fortune 100 company for $10 million. However, quarterly revenue fell from $15 million to $2.9 million, as the previous year's base included a significant one-time equipment delivery. An additional driver is U.S. industrial policy. D-Wave plans to secure up to $100 million in funding through the CHIPS and Science Act to develop superconducting systems based on quantum annealing and gate architecture. In May, the U.S. Department of Commerce allocated $2 billion to American companies engaged in quantum computing.

forklog.media Finland Allocates €2.8 Million for Quantum Projects

The state agency Business Finland has allocated grants totaling €2.79 million for the implementation of two industrial quantum projects. The funding was awarded to software developer QMill and shipping operator ESL Shipping. The funds were distributed as follows:  €1.09 million for the Smart Fleet Optimization project for ESL Shipping; €1.7 million for the Supernova research initiative by QMill. ESL Shipping is testing a hybrid model: classical computing and quantum algorithms for fleet optimization. This pertains to tramp shipping, where scheduling depends on cargo flows, power constraints, emissions, and commercial priorities.  The Supernova initiative focuses on creating algorithms tailored to the constraints of current noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) systems. The aim is to identify commercially significant tasks in the energy, transport, and telecommunications sectors where quantum computing can offer a practical advantage over classical architectures.  Supernova is a continuation of the QMill program, launched in 2024 with support from the same agency.  The investments are part of Business Finland's national program to strengthen the quantum hub in Northern Europe. The project aims to demonstrate how heavy industry and logistics can integrate quantum tools to reduce fuel consumption and comply with environmental standards.  In May, Quantinuum and BP initiated a joint project to apply quantum computing for subsurface sensing and mapping of the Earth's interior.

forklog.media DAOs, teal management and open source: genius trio or outcasts’ trilemma?

DAOs, open source and “teal” management grew out of a single ambition: to act effectively without a rigid hierarchy and bosses who decide everything for everyone. Yet each model, on its own, inevitably runs into crisis. Web3 researcher Vladimir Menaskop explains why the three approaches work only together. From the author A recent Habr article showed that many OS projects are kept afloat by one or two enthusiasts who, quite literally, work for free or for pennies. Reading it, I immediately recalled my many years in DAOs. Back in 2025 I crossed the mark of involvement in 100 such organisations, but by 2026 it had become clear I might never get close to the next milestone of 1,000. Why? Because the sector’s main analytics platform, DeepDAO, shut down, and many DAOs either folded or abandoned their foundational principles. Others, though, understood where the catch lay and opted for a planned, deep restructuring. Paradoxically, these were market leaders that had been the most conservative elsewhere: Ethereum, Uniswap, Aave. Looking back on 21 years in IT, I came to see that the three elements of self-organisation—DAO as a form, “teal” as a methodology and open source as a tool—form a single whole. But one thing at a time. DAO ForkLog has covered this topic at length, but a few less obvious points are worth highlighting. What is a DAO? Literally: a decentralised autonomous organisation. Yet even this short decoding hides an inner paradox. Consider the definitions: Decentralised: a system whose governance and structure are created without a single centre, with control and authority distributed among many independent participants. Autonomous: independent, acting on its own, without external control or dependence on broader networks. Organisation: a group of people working together to achieve shared goals and tasks. At first glance these terms sit uneasily together. The swan of decentralisation pulls skyward toward an ideology in which a centre is an unaffordable luxury. The crayfish of autonomy reinforces this stance, but focuses not on internal structure so much as non-subordination to an external system. The pike of organisation, by contrast, asserts that there is a centre after all—not in governance, but in the problems being solved and the goals set. Hence there is no such thing as a “DAO in general”. A limited-liability company exists “in general”; an open or closed joint-stock company, too; even a simple partnership or co-operative. But a DAO cannot exist in such an abstract form. One might object that platforms like Aragon or xDAO standardise the creation of decentralised autonomous organisations. They do, but only by providing a toolkit. They can stitch a body together, yet it may still be a corpse—formally alive, not a unified organism, and certainly not a full-fledged personality. Today the world is full of such Frankensteins, if not dominated by them. My experience in DAOs has long suggested this is wrong: we have let form substitute for substance. For a decade I have therefore practised building micro-DAOs: aimed not at success, but at transmitting DAO principles from person to person. It works, albeit slowly. And here we need the second element—“teal” management. “Teal” Frederic Laloux’s book “Opening the Organisations of the Future” appeared in my life long before I read my first piece on DAOs. Decentralisation, after all, predates blockchains by a long way. In our small five-person IT firm we embraced the approach from the outset; Laloux helped formalise our experience and distil general principles. Since then I have joined various “teal” communities, studied the experience of many companies (from offline sectors to gaming), written analytical pieces and tried to spread the word. Seven years ago I became an administrator of a Telegram channel dedicated to “teal” management. People there spoke about DAOs without using the word, worked in DAOs without knowing it and did many other things that in essence amounted to DAOs. I tried to bridge the two worlds, arranging several online meetings between those discussing “teal” and those already building DAOs. And… nothing much came of it. It turned out these were two largely similar but parallel universes. Another insight followed: each element (DAO and “teal” alike) demands a dramatic internal overhaul. How is it that there is no need for a boss? How is it that there is no external control? How is it that you work only in networked entities? That overhaul consumes vast resources: time, attention, understanding and even money. Each group simply could not switch to yet another process of comparable complexity. Even so, such a union would remain incomplete—at least without a third element. Open source Readers hardly need a primer on open-source software, but it is crucial to note that almost all DAOs use it by default. Here a synthesis of science, art and, if you will, magic is born: DAOs help organise business within the economy of doing (more precisely, the part I call the crypto-offshore), created by the tools and mechanics of Web 3.0 and Web3. The profits from this business (whether network fees or gains from successful liquidations) can be distributed as grants among different teams. Finally, to ensure both quantitative and qualitative growth in profit generation, you need “teal” management methods (the last 18–24 months of Aave’s evolution are exactly about that). But when open source is cut off from this triad, it does not live so much as survive: you end up hoping for donations from those for whom it is easier to fork you than to support you with hard cash. An open secret You might think this “discovery” is long understood. It is not. Each element is fairly developed: behind each stands, if not a neat, then at least a well-worked theory; each has its supporters and, crucially, practice. But separately. Together they work only in exceptional cases, when enthusiasts already immersed in each sphere draw the relevant conclusions. Something similar can be found, for example, in the assertion “1 BTC = 1 BTC”: everyone seems to understand, but in fact they do not. Hence such projects appear to have a future: uncertain, like any other, but a future nonetheless. All the more so as each of the three elements is now in crisis: DAOs—because of yet another crypto winter; “Teal”—because of a crisis in management ideas; Open source—because of a lack of financial support. In such times it is vital to focus not on fixing transient, recurring problems but on far more fundamental things. This may lead us to another trilemma, where you must back two of the three components to evolve effectively. Or perhaps there is a fourth, or even a fifth, to complete the set. If you came to crypto for more than the next hype cycle, this approach will serve you well.

forklog.media Economist Warns of Currency System Collapse and Dangers of CBDCs

German economist Richard Werner, in an interview with Tucker Carlson, declared the inevitability of a new global financial crisis and the authorities' plans to use central bank digital currencies (CBDC) as a tool for total control. Asset Bubble and the End of the Dollar Era According to Werner, a massive bubble has formed in the United States, encompassing the real estate market, stock exchanges, and cryptocurrencies. He noted that current valuations are "somewhat overestimated," and the system is moving towards a change in the currency order. The economist drew parallels with historical milestones: the collapse of the gold standard and the "Nixon Shock" of 1971. He suggested that the current stage is preparation for dismantling the "petrodollar" system. "Every time major wars occur, they lead to a change in the global financial system. [...] We are in the acceleration phase before the next monetary system restructuring," Werner emphasized. The expert predicted a "second wave" of inflation, calling it a "good disguise" for changing the monetary model. He accused central banks of unwarranted issuance in 2020, which he described as a purely monetary decision without economic reasons. CBDCs as "Digital Control" The economist sees the main threat in digital identification and the programmability of money. Werner suggested interpreting the acronym CBDC as Central Bank Digital Control. In his view, the new system will allow authorities to micromanage citizens' lives: restrict spending by time and location; block transactions when purchasing "wrong" goods; control population movement. "This is the dream come true of a totalitarian dictator. It is about highly centralized structures whose goal is not productivity but control over us," he stated. Werner reminded that humanity has been using digital money from commercial banks for decades. The problem with CBDCs, in his opinion, lies precisely in the centralization of the tool in the hands of the authorities. Previously, similar concerns were expressed by other market participants. In 2024, U.S. President Donald Trump promised to "never allow" the creation of CBDCs, calling them a "dangerous threat to freedom." Regulators like the ECB and the Fed deny plans for total surveillance. In Brussels, they insist that the digital euro will only complement cash, while the Fed emphasizes the need for congressional approval to issue a digital dollar. Back in April 2026, the European Central Bank selected payment standards for the digital euro.
