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

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough ...

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

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

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

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

The clock is ticking on cryptocurrency.

Research suggests fault-tolerant quantum machines could arrive sooner than expected, posing a threat to Bitcoin and Ethereum cryptography.

That doesn't mean that someone can steal your coins tomorrow, but it does mean that the risk posed by quantum computers could ...

In 2018, Aayush Jain, a graduate student at the University of California, Los Angeles, traveled to Japan to give a talk about a powerful cryptographic tool he and his colleagues were developing. As he ...
