Part one explained the physics of quantum computing. This piece explains the target — how bitcoin's encryption works, why a ...

Google's quantum paper made headlines with that number. Here's what it means, what's actually at risk, and why 6.9 million bitcoin are more exposed than the rest.

Google published a paper on March 31 that states that Bitcoin's cryptography could be impacted by quantum computing sooner ...

When we measure a qubit in superposition, it picks one state, like a spinning coin landing heads or tails. This is called ...

New research and industry timelines are accelerating efforts to replace cryptography that quantum computers could eventually ...

A Bitcoin researcher has come up with a way that could immediately make Bitcoin transactions quantum-safe without the need for a soft fork. In a proposal published Thursday, StarkWare chief product ...

What is it about quantum computers that makes them more powerful than conventional machines? A new experiment shows that the property of “quantum contextuality” may be a key ingredient. Quantum ...

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 ...

As proposed and demonstrated by the Los Alamos team, the architectures and techniques proposed to mitigate or altogether ...
