In the long run, the new chip could enable next-generation wireless medical devices to maintain strong security even as quantum computing becomes more prevalent. In addition, it could be applied to ...

A lot has been made about a post-quantum computer future in which traditional encryption methods have suddenly been rendered ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using neutral-atom quantum computers. The researchers es ...

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 ...

Modern Love in miniature, featuring reader-submitted stories of no more than 100 words. As his barista, I wasn’t subtle: caramel hearts on his latte, my number on the cup. “We need to go out sometime, ...

New research suggests quantum computers capable of breaking internet encryption may arrive sooner than expected—with AI helping speed the way.

Quantum computing encryption is reshaping how we think about digital security in a world built on encrypted communication. Today's systems rely on mathematical complexity, but emerging quantum ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

The day when quantum computers will be able to break conventional encryption is rapidly approaching, but not all companies are prepared to implement post-quantum cryptography. Quantum-safe encryption ...

About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...
