Quantum computing will not deliver truly useful business results overnight, but the pace of progress is no longer linear; ...

Crypto experts say quantum computing could break Bitcoin’s encryption system. The network applies cryptographic security measures such as the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) to ...

Ronagh says one of the most salient examples of the power of quantum computers is in cryptography. Shor's algorithm famously uses the periodicity that underlies the factoring problem to break the ...

Understanding randomness is crucial in many fields. From computer science and engineering to cryptography and weather ...

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do so for some critical optimization tasks.

At the same time, quantum algorithms are improving far faster than hardware. ... Take, for example, the buzz in the summer of 2023 around the “room-temperature superconductor” LK-99.

The importance of quantum-resistant tokens lies in their use of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms, which are designed to withstand both classical and quantum computational attacks. Below are ...

NIST’s flagship post-quantum cryptography guidance that would help protect against decryption capabilities enabled by quantum computers aimed for release the week of Aug. 12.
