Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

A lot has been made about a post-quantum computer future in which traditional encryption methods have suddenly been rendered ...

The day when a quantum computer manages to break common encryption, or Q-Day, is fast approaching, and the world is not close ...

Quantum computing is a largely theoretical, ultimately expensive proposition for high-level computation. However, new ...

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a new approach to secure optical communication that hides ...

You could end up shortening the life of one key component in your PC. (And the tool won’t even work as intended, either.) ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The forthcoming era of quantum computers holds a lot of promise. Qubits—the quantum version of classical bits—have the potential to solve immensely ...

Google says it is setting a timeline to migrate to post-quantum cryptography (PQC) by 2029, warning that action is needed before “a future quantum computer can break current encryption”. A new era of ...
