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 ...

Researchers said it was the first time a quantum computer “posed a real and substantial threat” to encryption, but multiple limitations still hamper a full-scale hack. Chinese researchers using a ...

NIST selects four encryption algorithms to thwart future quantum computer attacks Your email has been sent The announcement follows a six-year effort to devise and then vet encryption methods to ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has officially released three new encryption standards that are designed to fortify cryptographic protections against future cyberattacks by quantum ...

One of the most classic algorithmic problems deals with calculating the shortest path between two points. A more complicated variant of the problem is when the route traverses a changing ...

The US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has debuted three encryption algorithms that it claims will help safeguard critical data from cyber attacks originating from quantum ...

In 1994, a mathematician figured out how to make a quantum computer do something that no ordinary classical computer could. The work revealed that, in principle, a machine based on the rules of ...
