Quantum computers may slam into hard architectural walls long before they can crack the encryption protecting online banking, ...

A small mathematical revision to quantum mechanics could effectively limit the purported infinite capacities of quantum computers—if validated, that is.

Someday, somebody, somewhere will likely have a quantum computer capable of cracking the fragile codes that underpin every piece of data we exchange over the internet. We don’t know when. It could be ...

The amount of quantum computing power needed to crack a common data encryption technique has been reduced tenfold. This makes the encryption method even more vulnerable to quantum computers, which may ...

Two scientists just won computing's Nobel Prize for an idea from 1984: use quantum mechanics to make eavesdropping physically ...

MIAMI (March 2, 2026) - As artificial intelligence fuels a surge in convincing deepfakes and quantum computing advances toward real-world use, Florida International University (FIU) researchers have ...

Quantum computers could solve certain problems that would take traditional classical computers an impractically long time to solve. At the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST), ...

Nation-states and malicious actors are collecting encrypted data so they can read it with future quantum computers. These ...

An American physicist and Canadian computer scientist received the A.M. Turing Award on Wednesday for their groundbreaking ...

By Cade Metz Cade Metz has reported on quantum technologies since the 1990s. In the mid-1980s, Charles Bennett and Gilles Brassard invented an encryption technology that could theoretically never be ...

Today, threat actors are quietly collecting data, waiting for the day when that information can be cracked with future technology.

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