The very prospect of the quantum apocalypse has driven various stakeholders to consider what that could be like and how to ...

Online data is generally pretty secure. Assuming everyone is careful with passwords and other protections, you can think of it as being locked in a vault so strong that even all the world’s ...

Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are practically impossible to solve. Quantum computers threaten to flip that ...

On Tuesday, the U.S. finalized standards for post-quantum encryption — a move intended to ensure companies, citizens and government agencies can all stay ahead of the potential of quantum computers ...

The quest for "quantum supremacy" – unambiguous proof that a quantum computer does something faster than an ordinary computer – has paradoxically led to a boom in quasi-quantum classical algorithms. A ...

Following six years of development, the National Institute of Standards and Technology has released draft standards for three algorithms that can resist future attacks by quantum computers. The U.S.

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Paul-Smith Goodson is an analyst covering quantum computing and AI. Last year I wrote a Forbes article that provided a deep dive ...

The first round of PQC candidate algorithms that were announced by NIST on August 24 of last year. It included one general-purpose encryption algorithm (ML-KEM) and two digital signature algorithms ...

After research from Google suggested a potential threat to some cryptocurrencies, tokens like QRL and Cellframe (CEL) saw ...

On their experimental "quantum cabin testbed," the encryption effect is further reinforced. Under direct quantum‑algorithm cracking attempts by hackers, the quantum‑encrypted original feed is ...
