Shor’s algorithm for factoring RSA-2048 (and related problems like elliptic-curve discrete logs) has seen dramatic reductions ...

Few people have invented an algorithm with the potential to spark a worldwide crisis, so why is quantum computing pioneer ...

Why is Christian Science in our name? Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we’ve always been transparent about that. The church publishes the ...

Alphabet is one of the most potent competitors in the quantum computing space. It has some of the most resources of anyone competing, fueled by growing cash flows from its advertising, cloud computing ...

Quantinuum lost nearly $200 million last year, saw revenue drop the first quarter of 2026, and says its technology may never work–yet investors are clamoring to buy the stock. The quantum-computer ...

Quantum computing advances raise concerns over 10,000 qubits breaking P‑256 encryption using Shor’s algorithm, driving urgency for quantum ECC attack awareness and post‑quantum migration strategies.

Quantum computers are coming. Or, at least, that’s what current predictions say. These machines harness the power of quantum mechanics, the set of rules governing how physics operates at atomic and ...

Quantum is almost here, but organizations are not ready. Experts urge moving from 128-bit to 256-bit encryption ASAP. Another looming issue: quantum skills. Quantum computing is making our future ...
