In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology did something it had been working toward for eight years: ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

About eight years ago, toward the end of a panel I was moderating on cybersecurity, I turned to the panelists and asked them ...

New research suggests quantum computers capable of breaking internet encryption may arrive sooner than expected—with AI ...

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...
