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 ...

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

​For much of the past decade, post-quantum cryptography (PQC) lived primarily in academic journals and standards committees.

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 ...

The media loves a good scare story. So, apparently, do we. So when a press release from a new organisation called the Advanced Quantum Technologies Institute went out via PRNewswire on 2 March under ...

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

Google is dramatically shortening its readiness deadline for the arrival of Q Day, the point at which existing quantum computers can break public-key cryptography algorithms that secure decades’ worth ...

But cryptocurrencies aren't the only application at risk.

Google has issued a stark warning: the encryption protecting the world’s banks, governments, and personal data could be broken by 2029. In a report published on March 25, the tech giant urged ...
