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 ...

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.

RSA’s demise is greatly exaggerated. At the Enigma 2023 Conference in Santa Clara, California, on Tuesday, computer scientist and security and privacy expert Simson Garfinkel assured researchers ...

Peter Shor didn’t set out to break the internet. But an algorithm he developed in the mid-1990s threatened to do just that. In a landmark paper, Shor showed how a hypothetical computer that exploited ...

They did so by developing a classical algorithm that can simulate random circuit sampling experiments when errors are present. “It’s a beautiful theoretical result,” Aaronson said, while stressing ...

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 ...

For now, a basic processor can handle 50 qubits, a unit of quantum information. Some scientists estimate that a machine with the capacity to process thousands or millions of qubits will be needed ...

One excuse for this, he said, is that there weren’t any standards yet, which is why the new standards announced Tuesday are so important (and the process for getting to a standard, it’s worth ...
