Someday, somebody, somewhere will likely have a quantum computer capable of cracking the fragile codes that underpin every piece of data we exchange over the internet. We don’t know when. It could be ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

Satellites are the invisible backbone of modern life. They guide airplanes, help us find our way with GPS, deliver TV and internet, and even help emergency services respond to disasters. But a new ...

New research from Google shows that quantum computers could require far less resources than previously thought to break the cryptography that secures cryptocurrency blockchains. Google’s new research, ...

The recent Project Eleven bounty for quantum computers cracking cryptographic keys is a joke. It provides no serious incentive at all. Recently, Project Eleven (a quantum computing research group) ...
