Scientists at IBM's Almaden Research Center have performed the world's most complicated quantum-computer calculation to date. They caused a billion billion custom-designed molecules in a test tube to ...
A quantum computer algorithm that is used to find the prime factors in an encryption key. Created by applied mathematician Peter Shor in the mid-1990s, Shor's algorithm may be used to break the codes ...
Two groups have made laser based Quantum computers able to run Shor’s algorithm, which would let them break financial encryption. It would take about two qubits per bit of encryption. 1024 bit ...
When the Robert Redford film Sneakers hit theaters in 1992, most moviegoers had never heard of the Internet. They’d have guessed “World Wide Web” was a horror film involving spiders. And nobody knew ...
As well as being incredibly fascinating, quantum mechanics is also set to revolutionize the fields of information theory and computation. There exist certain problems that could be solved using a ...
