The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, experts say.

Advances in recent years suggest we are entering the Quantum Frontier Era. National security, science, economic competitiveness, and cybersecurity will all feel the impact.

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

Quantum power is calculated in qubits. Every 10 qubits supports 1,024 computations, giving hackers 1,024 times the power to break encryption in one swoop, Steward illustrated. There are now machines ...

In its report released on June 11, Coinbase’s Quantum Advisory Board (CQAB) urged blockchain developers and crypto holders to begin migrating toward quantum-resistant cryptography. They warned that ...

Quantum computing firm QuEra says it plans to make a fault-tolerant quantum computer and offer it to users through the cloud ...

Digital secrets are protected by encryption, which converts meaningful data into an unintelligible form. If quantum computers could unscramble current encryption, they could expose highly sensitive ...

Quantum computing advances raise concerns over 10,000 qubits breaking P‑256 encryption using Shor’s algorithm, driving ...

Quantum computers powerful enough to break widely used public-key encryption aren’t here yet, but migration won’t be as simple as swapping in a new tool.

Imagine a world where the locks protecting your most sensitive information—your financial records, medical history, or even national security secrets—can be effortlessly picked. This is the looming ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...
