Aaron Lauda has been exploring an area of mathematics that most physicists have seen little use for, wondering if it might have practical applications. In a twist even he didn’t expect, it turns out ...

Medical imaging methods such as ultrasound and MRI are often affected by background noise, which can introduce blurring and obscure fine anatomical details in the images. For clinicians who depend on ...

Quantum computing is either a distant dream or an imminent reality depending on whom you ask. And while much of this year's Quantum Village at the Defcon security conference in Las Vegas is focused on ...

Rigetti has achieved a significant error rate reduction with a 36-qubit system. This could pave the way for quantum computers with more qubits that can be used for AI ...

A quantum computer has reached new heights. The first quantum computer in space is now orbiting Earth on a satellite, scientists report. Launched on June 23, the computer had to be designed to fit in ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

Researchers at Harvard have created a groundbreaking metasurface that can replace bulky and complex optical components used in quantum computing with a single, ultra-thin, nanostructured layer. This ...

Quantum computing threatens to break Bitcoin’s elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) by 2030, exposing millions of BTC to theft. A new Bitcoin Improvement Proposal outlines a phased plan to freeze ...

A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...

Quantum technologies have long underpinned modern foundational technologies, including lasers, atomic clocks, transistors, and semiconductor devices. Today, advancements in quantum information science ...
