Part one explained the physics of quantum computing. This piece explains the target — how bitcoin's encryption works, why a ...

Quantum advances have not broken heavy-duty encryption yet, but seem well on their way to expose what we’ve long kept ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

Diffie-Hellman’s key-exchange method runs this kind of exponentiation protocol, with all the operations conducted in this way ...

Physicists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign are now testing quantum simulations of these so-called strong-field QED (SFQED) processes, recently translating several processes into the ...

A failed film student-turned-physicist is now a billionaire after Nvidia's quantum push sent his stock soaring.

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought ...

The correct framing is not that Lightning is broken and unfixable. It is that Lightning, like all of Bitcoin, and like most ...

StarkWare’s Avihu Levy proposes "Quantum Safe Bitcoin" (QSB) a puzzle scheme secures BTC crypto transactions against quantum computing threat ...

Google cut the qubits needed to break crypto encryption by 20x and withheld the circuits. Here's why that matters.
