Craig Gidney is largely unknown outside of quantum computing, but his pioneering work on quantum circuits could have huge ...

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 ...

You're catching up on some emails. Verifying your identity with a passport picture. Paying an invoice with your bank details. In the background, a "bad actor" is collecting all of your encrypted ...

Researchers affiliated with Caltech and the quantum computing startup Oratomic have published a preprint claiming that Shor’s algorithm, the theoretical tool capable of breaking widely used public-key ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography. The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted ...

American investor and former pharmaceutical executive Martin Shkreli told host Isabel Foxen Duke that if quantum computing ever scales, Shor’s algorithm—not artificial intelligence (AI)—poses the most ...
