The number and volume of warnings about a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) world are rising, as governments, banks, and other entities prepare for a rash of compromised data and untrustworthy digital ...

“It appears that about 2,000 logical qubits will be needed to run Shor’s algorithm sufficiently to break AES 256-bit encryption,” Lucero says. Microsoft may have also cherry-picked results to get the ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 24 (Reuters) - IBM (IBM.N), opens new tab said on Friday it can run a key quantum computing error correction algorithm on commonly available chips ...

Quantum computing is still in its infancy, easily beaten by traditional computers. One of the biggest challenges? The fact that quantum bits — qubits — are much more fragile than the bits in silicon ...

Peter Shor didn’t set out to break the internet. But an algorithm he developed in the mid-1990s threatened to do just that. In a landmark paper, Shor showed how a hypothetical computer that exploited ...
