Two research groups say they have significantly reduced the amount of qubits and time required to crack common online ...

The encryption protecting global banking, government communications, and digital identity does not fail when a quantum ...

Researchers from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked startup, published findings on March 31, 2026, arguing that a useful ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

Google Quantum just cut the qubit requirement to break Bitcoin encryption by 20x, and 6.7 million crypto addresses are in risk.

Researchers affiliated with Caltech and the quantum computing startup Oratomic have published a preprint claiming that Shor’s ...

In our latest Computing research we look at developments in quantum computing and cryptography, whether UK IT leaders believe ...

Abstract: Shor's algorithm is one of the most prominent quantum algorithms, yet finding efficient implementations remains an active research challenge. While many approaches focus on low-level modular ...

As processors such as IBM’s Osprey and Google’s Sycamore continue to improve in scale, the cryptographic underpinnings of modern blockchain technology are threatened by quantum apocalypse (Q-Day).

For decades, the quantum threat to RSA and ECC encryption has been tied to Shor’s algorithm and the assumption that we would need million-qubit quantum computers to make it practical. A newly ...

Google on Friday unveiled its plan for its Chrome browser to secure HTTPS certificates against quantum computer attacks without breaking the Internet. The objective is a tall order. The ...

Abstract: Shor’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm that can efficiently solve the problems of integer factorization and discrete logarithms, which potentially break currently used public-key ...
