Earlier this month, Google announced a brand-new quantum chip dubbed Willow. The 105-qubit chip — that’s double the qubit count of the tech giant’s preceding Sycamore chip — completed a computation in ...

New research by Google suggested that RSA encryption, a critical security feature used in securing Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), may be more susceptible to quantum computing attacks than previously ...

Current standards call for using a 2,048-bit encryption key. Over the past several years, research has suggested that quantum computers would one day be able to crack RSA encryption, but because ...

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 ...

New estimates suggest it might be 20 times easier to crack cryptography with quantum computers than we thought—but don't panic. Will quantum computers crack cryptographic codes and cause a global ...

Quantum computing may one day outperform classical machines in solving certain complex problems, but when and how this “quantum advantage” emerges has remained unclear. Now, researchers from Kyoto ...

For the last two days my inbox (and LinkedIn messages) has been flooded with questions about headlines claiming that “Chinese researchers broke RSA encryption with a quantum computer, threatening ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

A quantum computer powerful enough to break Bitcoin could steal coins while the network runs as usual. If a quantum computer capable of breaking modern encryption were to come online today, Bitcoin ...
