Researchers from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked startup, published findings on March 31, 2026, arguing that a useful quantum computer capable of running Shor’s algorithm on real cryptographic ...

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

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

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

Most simplifies the complex process of quantum computing as "it can be 0 and 1 at the same time." That is not an explanation ...

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

Google's quantum paper made headlines with that number. Here's what it means, what's actually at risk, and why 6.9 million ...

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

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

A method reduces the number of qubits needed for quantum computers, making practical machines possible sooner and affecting ...

Public-key cryptography can become unreliable in certain post-Q-Day scenarios. The earliest onchain stress is likely to concentrate in digital signatures (authorization and ownership) because they ...
