Some 30 years ago, the mathematician Peter Shor took a niche physics project — the dream of building a computer based on the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics — and shook the world. Shor ...

The encryption protecting global banking, government communications, and digital identity does not fail when a quantum computer is finally built. It fails the moment adversaries acquire enough quantum ...

A team of Google researchers just set a new date for post-quantum cryptography migration: 2029. Among other things, this means that Bitcoin, as well as many other cryptocurrencies, needs to adopt new ...

Abstract: Shor’s algorithm is a quantum algorithm that can efficiently solve the problems of integer factorization and discrete logarithms, which potentially break currently used public-key ...

For decades, the quantum threat to RSA and ECC encryption has been tied to Shor’s algorithm and the assumption that we would need million-qubit quantum computers to make it practical. A newly ...

Ars Technica has been separating the signal from the noise for over 25 years. With our unique combination of technical savvy and wide-ranging interest in the technological arts and sciences, Ars is ...

In case you had any doubt, Elon Musk’s X has an algorithm that favors conservative content posted by political activists over liberal content or posts by traditional news media accounts, according to ...
