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

Future quantum computers will need to be less powerful than we thought to threaten the security of encrypted messages.

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

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

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

Google cut the qubits needed to break crypto encryption by 20x and withheld the circuits. Here's why that matters.

Google researchers have shown that breaking the encryption of cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum requires 20x ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require ...
