Birth Of The Quantum Threat. Quantum’s threat to encryption began in 1994, when Bell Labs mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum-based algorithm that could factor large prime numbers. When ...

Phasecraft, a London and Bristol-based startup creating algorithms that can already work on today’s imperfect quantum computers has raised £13 million in Series A fund.

Researchers have developed a quantum particle swarm optimization algorithm for maximum power point tracking that reportedly generates 3.33% more power in higher temperature tests and 0.89% more ...

Oct 02, 2023 One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving ...

This week, researchers from Google announced the release of the first implementation of quantum-resistant encryption for use in the type of security keys that are the basic building blocks of FIDO2.

It’s been difficult to find important questions that quantum computers can answer faster than classical machines, but a new algorithm appears to do so for some critical optimization tasks.

That assumption still underpins some critical protocols today. Shor’s algorithm showed that it would fail spectacularly in a world with powerful quantum computers. In the past 30 years, computer ...

In the past, researchers have tried to improve on Shor’s algorithm for factoring by simulating a qubit using a continuous system, with its expanded set of possible values. But even if your system ...
