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, ...

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 ...

BTQ head of silicon product Sean Hackett details how quantum computers could break asymmetric encryption, impacting ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Quantum computers don't need to be nearly as powerful as we thought to break the world's most secure encryption algorithms, scientists warn. New research claims that quantum computers can make widely ...

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 ...

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

The alleged dangers of AI have been shoved down people’s throats for years, led by doomerism about it eliminating human jobs ...

Trump's quantum executive orders push US agencies to post-quantum cryptography by 2031. What they mean for crypto security.

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 ...
