The key is not just improving quantum hardware or algorithms but optimizing the entire stack—from hardware and software to ...

Quantum computing has promised revolutionary breakthroughs across sectors, from cryptography to artificial intelligence.

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

Developed in 1994 by US mathematician Peter Shor, Shor’s algorithm is a quantum computer algorithm for calculating the prime factors of a number. While it may be easy to discern the prime ...

Technology companies are pouring billions of dollars into quantum computing, despite the technology still being years away ...

Quantum computing has long been touted as a potential threat to RSA encryption due to algorithms like Shor's algorithm, which, in theory, can factor large numbers exponentially faster than ...

Rapid advances in applying artificial intelligence to simulations in physics and chemistry have some people questioning whether we will even need quantum computers at all.

QCs have shown the potential to solve the factoring problem efficiently using Shor’s algorithm. Designed to find the prime factors of an integer, it is one of the few quantum algorithms with strong ...

Google invested in QuEra Computing, which is developing a very different and potentially rival quantum computer technology.

They demonstrated the use of “Shor’s algorithm” to solve prime factorization on their box-sized quantum computer. The group ...
