Computer scientists have written a network flow algorithm that computes almost as fast as is mathematically possible. This algorithm computes the maximum traffic flow with minimum transport costs ...

The trained algorithm could distinguish cases where transformations were time-reversal symmetric, something that appears to be very difficult or impossible with the classical system.

Bitcoin relies on elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) to secure wallet addresses and validate ownership. But ECC, like RSA, is vulnerable to Shor’s algorithm — a quantum computing method capable of ...

Minor risks include: • Algorithmic Speed-Ups: Grover’s algorithm, a novel quantum algorithm, could, in theory, halve SHA-256’s security strength, though 128-bit security remains strong.
