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

Quantum computers, computing systems that process information using quantum mechanical effects, could outperform classical computers on some computational tasks. These computers rely on qubits, the ...

The clock is ticking on cryptocurrency.

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner ...

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

Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new ...

DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) -- Duke researchers are spearheading an effort to build one of the largest quantum computers in academia that some say can be a game-changer in science and technology. "It's an ...

Quantum circuits are supposed to gain power as they grow longer, but noise changes the picture. A new study finds that earlier steps in these circuits gradually lose their impact, with only the final ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

Two research groups say they have significantly reduced the amount of qubits and time required to crack common online ...

Chicago has quickly emerged as a hub for quantum computing, with the state of Illinois and technology companies pouring millions of dollars into developing a campus to build the world’s first ...
