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 ...

In 1994, Peter Shor introduced an algorithm that could theoretically break RSA encryption, demonstrating quantum computing’s transformative potential. However, quantum computers lacked the scale and ...

You’ve probably been hearing a lot lately about the quantum-computing threat to cryptography. If so, you probably also have a lot of questions about what this “quantum threat” is and how it will ...

Beyond artificial intelligence (AI), another transformative technology that could reshape industries and reorder geopolitical power is finally moving out of the lab: quantum.

On Tuesday, the U.S. finalized standards for post-quantum encryption — a move intended to ensure companies, citizens and government agencies can all stay ahead of the potential of quantum computers ...

Gotta love the quantum flux oscillation speak there. But it's not really Star Trek until they're reversing the polarity and shunting power through the EPS conduits to create that quantum flux ...
