With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to arXiv.org. Another prevalent form of encryption, RSA–2048, would require 100,000 qubits and 10 days to break, according to the researchers, from Caltech and quantum computing company Oratomic in Pasadena, Calif.

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to ultra-secure communication that could make quantum encryption simpler and more efficient than ever before. By harnessing a 19th-century optics phenomenon called the Talbot effect,

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought

The market appears to be reassessing long‑term technological risks in crypto following Google's major quantum computing research update on Monday. While traditional assets like bitcoin BTC $68,470.32 and ether (ETH) have seen only modest price changes,

Two scientists just won computing's Nobel Prize for an idea from 1984: use quantum mechanics to make eavesdropping physically impossible

Elon Musk said on Monday that lost crypto wallets could become accessible in the future if quantum computers break current encryption. ・New research from Google Quantum AI suggests the math securing Bitcoin and Ethereum may be easier to crack than previously believed.
