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 ...

A new algorithm can further exploit the twin challenges of information loss and translation to mimic a quantum computer with far fewer resources than previously ...

Sachdeva’s breakthrough challenges one of the most studied problems in computer science, known as maximum flow, which ...

The FIDO2 industry standard adopted five years ago provides the most secure known way to log in to websites because it doesn’t rely on passwords and has the most secure form of built-in two-factor ...

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

Many experts believe that once quantum computers are big enough and reliable enough to solve useful problems, the most common deployment architecture will be to have them serve as accelerators for ...

The new quantum computing algorithm, called "Quantum Echoes," is the first that can be independently verified by running it on another quantum computer. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
