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.

When a quantum computer processes data, it must translate it into understandable quantum data. Algorithms that carry out this 'quantum compilation' typically optimize one target at a time. However, a team has created an algorithm capable of optimizing ...

Quantum security is not just about new algorithms – operators must tackle key issues and untangle crypto sprawl before quantum decryption arrives

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.

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

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?

Two IBM-developed algorithms have been officially formalized within the world’s first three post-quantum cryptography standards, which were published by the U.S. Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) according ...
