Quantum computing is advancing fast, and nations are racing to field the first machines powerful enough to break modern encryption. This race has direct consequences for the commercial space industry, ...

BTQ Head of Silicon Product, Sean Hackett details how quantum computers could break asymmetric encryption, impacting ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

The quantum threat is accelerating significantly. It's time to have a fresh look at the current state of affairs and what ...

A surge of funding and federal action is giving the once-futuristic technology a more immediate role in everything from ...

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

For years, the threat of quantum computing lived comfortably in the category of “interesting but distant,” but that comfort is gone.

The Office of Management and Budget issued a memorandum to federal agencies on Wednesday outlining the steps they need to take to migrate select government systems to post-quantum cryptography, or PQC ...

Key takeawaysButerin sees a nontrivial 20% chance that quantum computers could break current cryptography before 2030, and he argues that Ethereum should begin preparing for that possibility.A key ...

About eight years ago, toward the end of a panel I was moderating on cybersecurity, I turned to the panelists and asked them to tell me what to expect when quantum computing would come online. I got ...
