Quantum walks sound abstract, but they sit at the center of a very concrete race: who will harness quantum mechanics to solve problems that overwhelm today’s most powerful supercomputers. Instead of ...

The JVG algorithm factors RSA and ECC keys using fewer quantum resources than Shor’s algorithm, accelerating the time needed ...

Because the migration to PQC is a complex, multi-year undertaking that requires a strategic approach, Peters said organizations need to start now. Cryptography failure due to quantum attacks could ...

Quantum algorithms are attractive here because they can, in principle, explore huge combinatorial spaces of mutations and molecular interactions more efficiently than classical methods, which could ...

Google is testing a new certificate architecture in Chrome designed to protect HTTPS and TLS connections from future quantum ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers ...

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...

Vitalik Buterin outlines a roadmap to protect Ethereum from future quantum computing risks with validator and wallet upgrades ...

Forward-looking: Software companies are gaining momentum in quantum computing as venture capital increasingly backs advances in algorithms, signaling a shift in an industry once dominated by hardware ...

The “Harvest Now, Decrypt Later” hacking strategy relies on the belief that the world is only a few years away from ...

New research says today’s quantum computers are far too weak to threaten Bitcoin’s cryptography, leaving the network years to prepare.
