Experts told lawmakers that quantum computers will soon render today's encryption obsolete — and foreign adversaries know it.

Of the hundreds of half-hour comedies available on streaming, one title dominated the U.S. rankings for the first five months ...

As cyberthreats grow more sophisticated and the quantum era draws closer, resilience is no longer just a best practice—it’s a ...

Crypto investors are accustomed to volatility risk. You have to be when prices of coins regularly swing by 10% or more in ...

Recently, a private gathering under Chatham House rules gathered professionals in order to tackle a looming threat to Bitcoin: quantum computing.

In 1994, mathematician Peter Shor presented an algorithm for quantum computers to solve complex algorithms in seconds, rather than the decades it can take for conventional hardware.

But, besides Shor's algorithm, researchers have had a hard time coming up with problems where quantum computers will have a proven advantage. Now, reporting in a recent Nature Physics study , a ...

The north star goal is to run the Shor Algorithm, named for Peter Shor, a quantum mathematician and its inventor. Once solved, the Shor algorithm will break modern encryption.

In 1994, decades before anyone had built a real quantum computer, an AT&T Bell Labs researcher named Peter Shor designed the killer Q-Day app. Shor’s algorithm takes advantage of the fact that ...

This work is widely regarded as a landmark in the field. It inspired subsequent breakthroughs, such as Peter Shor’s factoring algorithm and Charles Bennett’s contributions to quantum cryptography.

Mathematician Peter Shor explained in his talk at the 35th Annual Symposium on the Foundations of Computer Science in late 1994 how quantum computers could find the prime factors of huge numbers far ...

Although quantum computing is a nascent field, there are plenty of key moments that defined it over the last few decades as scientists strive to create machines that can solve impossible problems.
