Quantum computers of the future may be closer to reality thanks to new research from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked start-up company. Theorists and experimentalists teamed up to develop a new approach for reducing the errors that riddle today's rudimentary quantum computers.

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well on a regular computer. One notable exception?

Ethereum Forms Post-Quantum Security Team To Harden Cryptography. A coalition of Ethereum developers has unveiled a dedicated resource hub focused on shield­ing the blockchain from quantum computing threats and the vast value the network secures.

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform classical systems on certain tasks. Over the past few decades, researchers have worked to rigorously demonstrate such advantages ...

Introduction to Quantum Threats in Cryptocurrency Security The rapid advancement of quantum computing presents both thrilling opportunities and daunting challenges

Google has made a significant leap in quantum computing with the unveiling of the Quantum Echoes algorithm, a revolutionary development that outpaces the world’s leading supercomputers by a staggering 13,000 times on a specific molecular task. This ...

Google LLC today announced that it’s stepping up its push toward a quantum computing-safe future with the introduction of a 2029 migration timeline to post-quantum cryptography, or PQC. The timeline offers a clearer strategy for migrating global systems to PQC as the threat from future quantum computers accelerates.

Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard were recognized for their foundational work in quantum information science.
