Quantum-Ready Kubernetes: How Do We Get There?
summary
Kubernetes must adapt for hybrid classical/quantum workloads, not be replaced: CERN runs an open quantum institute and quantum technology initiative (phase two) and reports a concrete win — beam calibration validated on a live proton beam — showing real-world benefit today. Tooling exists (KisKit/KissKit, emerging OpenSSL 3.5 PQC support, PQCA coordination), but gaps remain: no standard unit for quantum work, remote-only devices, larger key sizes, and harvest-now-decrypt-later risk that force crypto agility and new orchestration patterns.
