There is a potential dark side to quantum computing, one that is a threat to how we secure data. Back in 1994, Peter Shor developed an algorithm for factoring large numbers using a quantum computer, ...

Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption. Celeste Biever ...

As technological advancements surge forward, the specter of quantum computing looms ever larger. While the promise of quantum computers holds the potential to revolutionize fields like weather ...

Quantum computing is no longer a distant research project—it’s steadily moving toward real-world capability. While large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computers aren’t ...

Ahead of schedule, Metaculus now predicts that quantum computers could factor an RSA number using Shor's algorithm by 2034. This is almost 20 years sooner than the previous forecast of 2052. These ...

To understand the difference between quantum cryptography and post-quantum cryptography, it’s helpful to go back in time: In the early 1990s, Peter Shor of AT&T Bell Laboratories discovered an ...

Quantum computers could crack the codes that secure the world’s digital information but racing to a solution could create more threats, according to Dr. Deborah Frincke. In 1994, an American ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

Artificial intelligence changed how decisions are made. Quantum computing will decide whether those decisions remain secure.
