CAMBRIDGE, MA — The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted using a tried-and-true method that relies on the idea that even the fastest computer would be unable to efficiently break a gigantic ...

In 1994, Peter Shor, an American mathematician working at Bell Labs, published a paper with a wonky title and earth-shaking implications. In “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization and ...

After decades of theory, prototypes, and incremental progress, quantum computing has entered a new era… The story began in earnest in the early 1980s, when Richard Feynman and Yuri Manin argued that ...

Infleqtion, a global leader in neutral atom–based quantum technology, today revealed early details on the next generation architecture underpinning its Sqale quantum computer. Built on neutral atom ...

One of the most well-established and disruptive uses for a future quantum computer is the ability to crack encryption. A new algorithm could significantly lower the barrier to achieving this. Despite ...

QKD uses photons — the smallest units of light — to securely transmit encryption keys. Any attempt to intercept them disturbs ...
