In theory, quantum physics can bypass the hard mathematical problems at the root of modern encryption. A new proof shows how.

In March, D-Wave announced it performed a materials simulation using quantum technology. A few weeks later, Quantinuum published a paper in Nature detailing how it used the company’s six-qubit ...

Quantum computing is widely believed to be a revolutionary new technology. In fact, it is a double-edged sword. If efficient ...

It has long been a mystery why pure math can reveal so much about the nature of the physical world. Antimatter was discovered in Paul Dirac’s equations before being detected in cosmic rays. Quarks ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered ...

Today’s digital security relies on one fragile truth: that breaking today’s encryption standards, using tools available today, would take centuries. Quantum computing brings a shift in this reality.

Encryption—the process of sending a scrambled message that only the intended recipient’s device can decode—allows private and public sectors alike to safeguard information. Traditional encryption uses ...

Since the 1990s, evidence has been growing that quantum computers should be able to solve a range of particularly complex ...

It's time to run your errands, and you've got multiple stops to make. From your house, you have to hit the supermarket, the gas station, and the hardware store, all before returning home. Assuming you ...

A University of Saskatchewan lab is hoping to stop the next pandemic before it begins with the help of some very large and ...
