Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...
While post-quantum security standards and technical solutions are rapidly advancing, Quantus’ Chris Smith argues that Bitcoin ...
A new quantum-inspired algorithm has cracked a problem so massive that conventional supercomputers struggle to even approach ...
In December 2024, a team at Google published a result in Nature that physicists had been chasing for nearly three decades: a surface-code quantum error correction experiment that crossed below the ...
The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to prepare. For instance, in 2015, the U.S. Natio ...
Somewhere on a blockchain right now, a Bitcoin address that last moved coins in 2015 is sitting with its public key fully exposed, waiting for its owner to return. That owner may have years to act, or ...
Researchers from the group of theoretical physicist Hans Briegel have collaborated with NVIDIA to develop an AI method that ...
The quantum computing future is rapidly reshaping how scientists think about computation, with machines moving toward fault-tolerant systems capable of solving problems beyond classical limits. From ...
A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...
Quantum information science is now a fast-growing field, but when 2025 ACM A.M. Turing Award recipients Charles H. Bennett ...
