Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can ...

The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, experts say.

The dreaded Q-day could arrive sooner than expected, and when it does, experts say we need to be ready. Reading time 8 minutes In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum algorithm ...

Quantum computers promise to outperform today's traditional computers in many areas of science, including chemistry, physics, and cryptography, but proving they will be superior has been challenging.

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

In the digital world, there is no such thing as a perfect roll of ...

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...

Today IBM released a roadmap to Starling, a quantum computer with 20,000 times the processing power of today’s quantum computers. Starling won’t be built until 2029, but IBM says they’ve cracked the ...

Every two decades or so, a new technology upends national security. In the 1940s and 1950s, the atomic and hydrogen bombs established nuclear deterrence. In the 1970s and 1980s, microelectronics led ...
