forklog.media Colt and Ciena Conduct Quantum-Resistant Communication Test

Colt Technology Services and Ciena completed a test data transmission using quantum-resistant encryption between New York and London. The traffic traveled over submarine and terrestrial lines spanning a total of 6900 km at a speed of 800 Gbps. Engineers utilized the Ciena WaveLogic 6 Extreme platform. The test confirmed that high-speed communication can be protected against future quantum threats without performance loss. Malicious actors intercept encrypted data with the intention of decrypting it later when powerful quantum computers become available. Experts estimate this could happen as early as 2030. According to surveys, 69% of organizations consider quantum computing a real threat to current encryption methods. The trial demonstrated that quantum-resistant protection is ready for deployment on one of the busiest transatlantic routes. Optical performance remained stable throughout the route. Following a series of successful tests, Colt is prepared to offer clients several protection models: post-quantum cryptography, quantum key distribution, and hybrid schemes. These services are aimed at fintech, healthcare, government agencies, and data center owners. In November 2024, Colt and Ciena had already conducted joint tests, transmitting data at 1.2 Tbps across the Atlantic. In June, OQC, JPMorgan Chase, and AMD announced the launch of a research partnership program in London based at the dedicated Quantum-AI data center. The facility is used to explore quantum and hybrid computing within the financial sector.

forklog.media Major Japanese Banks to Collaborate on Stablecoin Initiative

MUFG Bank, Mizuho Bank, and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation have signed a memorandum to establish a council for the joint issuance of a stablecoin. The banks aim to conduct their first commercial transactions by the end of the 2026 fiscal year, concluding in March 2027. The council is tasked with developing the operational model, governance system, and issuance infrastructure. According to Reuters, Japan's Financial Services Agency (FSA) supports the project's experimental phase. The initiative follows a pilot approved by the FSA in November 2025. At that time, the banks, along with Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking and Progmat, began testing the joint issuance of a stablecoin under a trust scheme and its use for cross-border settlements by Mitsubishi Corporation.

forklog.media K33 Analysts Identify $60,000 as Bitcoin Accumulation Zone

The leading cryptocurrency has dropped 28% over the month, falling from $82,000 to below $60,000. According to analysts at K33, more than 10 million BTC—over 50% of the total circulating supply—are now at a loss. A month ago, the share of "red" coins was only 30%. K33's Head of Research, Vetle Lunde, explained that a large percentage of old coins remain unmoved. The reason is either lost wallets or owners' reluctance to sell the asset. Thus, in previous bear cycles, the peak of the loss-making supply was in the 50-56% range. Source: K33. A similar pattern was observed in 2011, 2018, and 2022. Back then, Bitcoin reached its bottom within a month after breaking the 50% mark. However, this was preceded by a final drop of 15-26%. A year after this event, growth ranged from 69% to 359%. The current decline has brought the price back to the 200-week moving average. K33 considers this level a marker for the end of major bear cycles. The Relative Strength Index of Bitcoin has reached its lowest point since November 2018. Outflows from exchange-traded products averaged 4,108 BTC per day from May 7 to June 8. The Fear and Greed Index plummeted to 8. Lunde noted a shift in sentiment and a capital flow into AI stocks, Big Tech, and a potential IPO for SpaceX. Meanwhile, the current downturn is shorter and shallower than in past cycles, fitting the trend of decreasing volatility. Analysts confirmed their baseline forecast: the level around $60,000 serves as a cyclical bottom or a very attractive zone for long-term accumulation. On June 9, analysts from Wintermute pointed out a weak capital inflow into Bitcoin.

forklog.media Scientists Develop Miniature Sensor for Machine Vision

An international team of scientists has unveiled a miniature photomemristor that mimics the adaptation of human vision to bright and dim light. The innovation could prove beneficial for machine vision systems in robots, drones, and cameras, according to a study in Nature Communications. The device addresses the issue faced by machine vision systems, which lose accuracy during sudden changes in brightness. This is critical for drones and robots, which need to simultaneously distinguish objects in dark areas and bright light sources like oncoming car headlights. The development is part of neuromorphic machine vision—a field where sensors not only capture images but also perform part of the signal processing. This approach is expected to reduce the load on computing systems and speed up reactions to changes in the frame. Event-based cameras tackle a similar challenge. They do not capture each frame entirely but instead record changes in brightness at individual pixels, offering low latency, a high dynamic range, and reduced data volume. However, such systems require specialized algorithms and currently have their limitations. The prototype is based on a miniature light-sensitive element approximately 0.5 mm in size. The key component of the system is a photomemristor made from TiO2 and PEDOT:PSS. Its operation relies on the materials' reaction to humidity: under low light, the structure absorbs more water, increasing conductivity and photosensitivity. In bright light, moisture dissipates, reducing sensitivity. In a demonstration setup, researchers used an array of 4 × 4 photomemristors and an artificial neural network. The system recognized letter patterns against backgrounds with varying brightness levels. According to the article, the accuracy was 91.3% under mixed lighting conditions, and the recognition process took 7.5 seconds. Back in May, scientists introduced Qumus—an autonomous AI system for experiments with quantum materials.
