The day when a quantum computer manages to break common encryption, or Q-Day, is fast approaching, and the world is not close ...

In August 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology did something it had been working toward for eight years: ...

Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to ...

According to the latest Google research, it could take as few as 1,200 logical qubits for a quantum computer to break ...

In the last several days, headlines have been plastered all over the internet regarding Chinese researchers using D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and "military-grade encryption." This is ...

Encryption is the secret sauce that keeps private information private as it travels across the internet. Apps like Apple’s iMessage use it to protect the contents of your communication, as do other ...

But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings ...

Markus Pflitsch, CEO and Founder of Terra Quantum, is a dedicated quantum physicist, senior financial executive and deep tech entrepreneur. Humans are an inherently technological and social species, ...

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.
