New research suggests quantum computers capable of breaking internet encryption may arrive sooner than expected—with AI ...

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

Michele Mosca of the Institute for Quantum Computing and Dept. of Combinatorics & Optimization, University of Waterloo and St. Jerome’s University, and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics ...

Critics of quantum computers have argued that the supposed advantage these machines have over regular computers have often relied on tests involving pointless tasks. Now, the team at Google Quantum AI ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Google claims to have developed a quantum computer algorithm that is 13,000 times faster than the most powerful supercomputers. This would bring the technology another step closer to real-world ...
