Everything described here is open source: https://github.com/spinsphere/nz-quantum-election Every election, pundits argue about who will go into coalition with whom. This year I tried something different. Instead of asking who wants to govern together, I asked which combination of parties should, if the only things that counted were the published evidence on their policies, how far […]

This weekend we made a game in 48 hours for the Global Quantum Game Jam 2026. The theme was quantum braiding. COHERENCE: Braid is a small civilization game with a twist: you do not build your civilization, you ask it questions, and you braid it. Your people are cohorts drawn as pairs of worldlines. Braiding […]

For the past few years one of the rabbit holes I have been diving down is one called Quantum-Safe Security. It goes by, and gets referred to by a few different and related names floating out there but the one I opt for is Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC). A future where “quantum computers can break today’s […]

We are launching Kaysec, Spinsphere’s post-quantum cryptography division, to help New Zealand organisations navigate the transition to quantum-safe security before it becomes urgent. The cryptographic standards underpinning today’s internet — RSA, ECDSA, ECDH — will be broken by a sufficiently capable quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm. NIST finalised its first post-quantum cryptography standards in 2024 […]

We at Spinsphere are excited to announce that our spheres are now spinning! Our homepage has officially gone live. My journey began in 2002, during my university years, when professors introduced me to the theoretical and futuristic possibilities of quantum computing. At the time, it was a nascent field (and still is!), brimming with potential […]
