The World-Changing Race to Develop the Quantum Computer
Google plans to build a computer that will require a freezer as large as a one-car garage. From there, researchers could start to run Shor’s algorithm at full power, exposing the secrets of our era.
Decrypting Crypto: Cryptocurrencies and the Quantum Computer Threat
Thanks to Shor’s algorithm, cryptocurrencies will be exceptionally vulnerable to a future quantum computing attack.
Keeping It Real: Quantum Computing Has a Hype Problem
A decade and more ago, I [Sankar Das Sarma, author] was often asked when I thought a real quantum computer would be built…(It is interesting that I no longer face this question as quantum-computing hype has apparently convinced people that these systems already exist or are just around the corner).
Falcon to the Rescue!? Thales Research Team Attempting to Stave Off Quantum-Pocalypse
QUANTUM COMPUTING: THALES RESEARCHERS WORK TO PREVENT THE “CRYPTO-APOCALYPSE” It’s 2035. Countries around the world have fallen victim to a wave of attacks on their computer systems, and millions of sensitive data sets have been compromised. Some of this data can put the world’s most powerful armies and states at risk. The cryptographic systems in place […]
