Google Cloud Universal Ledger (GCUL) is a new first-layer blockchain platform developed by Google for enterprises, especially in the financial sector. It is designed to support payments and capital market infrastructure and offers access through a single API as a cloud service. Unlike many public blockchains, GCUL is initially a permissioned network where only verified organizations participate, with mandatory KYC checks and stable fees.

GCUL allows tokenization of assets (converting traditional financial instruments into digital form) and provides instant and irreversible asset exchange through atomic settlement, significantly reducing settlement risk. The platform focuses on high security, scalability, and ease of integration for companies.

What research directions in quantum cryptography and quantum security are most important for the future development of GCUL and What is the robustness of current Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standards in the context of GCUL and which of them are suitable for integration with quantum computing capabilities?

To provide a complete answer, I will clarify important aspects in two steps: First, I will search for the most important research directions in quantum cryptography and quantum security relevant…

What blockchain tasks can be delegated to a quantum computer to improve performance and what remain behind the classical infrastructure and What will the API and protocols for interaction between GCUL and a quantum computer look like from the point of view of the application and network layers?

To answer the question on what blockchain tasks can be delegated to quantum computers for performance improvement, which tasks should remain classical, and what the application and network layer API/protocol…

What architectural models of integrating a quantum computer with GCUL will be most effective in accelerating blockchain operations (e.g. transaction verification, hash calculation, random number generation) and How to interact between classical GCUL nodes and quantum computing modules in a distributed network?

To address the question of the most effective architectural models for integrating quantum computers with GCUL (Google Cloud Universal Ledger) to accelerate blockchain operations such as transaction verification, hash calculation,…
