The U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has finalized a set of encryption algorithms designed to withstand cyberattacks from quantum computers. These ...

Researchers from Google Quantum AI report that their quantum processor, Willow, ran an algorithm for a quantum computer that solved a complex physics problem thousands of times faster than the world's ...

The age of quantum computers is fast approaching, and with it comes the potential threat of breaking classical encryption. The algorithms that have reliably protected our data, such as RSA and ECC, ...

The first post-quantum cryptographic algorithms were officially released today, with more to come from ongoing public-private sector collaborations. The first series of algorithms suited for ...

MicroAlgo Inc. announced its research on the Quantum Information Recursive Optimization (QIRO) algorithm, which aims to address complex combinatorial optimization problems using quantum computing.

Right now, quantum computers are small and error-prone compared to where they’ll likely be in a few years. Even within those limitations, however, there have been regular claims that the hardware can ...

Microsoft has updated a key cryptographic library with two new encryption algorithms designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. The updates were made last week to SymCrypt, a core ...

Quantum computing is on the horizon, promising to solve complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers. But for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which rely on today’s cryptographic ...

Nearly a century ago, the physicist Erwin Schrödinger called attention to a quirk of the quantum world that has fascinated and vexed researchers ever since. When quantum particles such as atoms ...

Three NIST-approved encryption algorithms set the stage for establishing PQC strategies, which — despite quantum computing’s infancy — CISOs should begin launching given the attack techniques and ...
