New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

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

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

Google cut the qubits needed to break crypto encryption by 20x and withheld the circuits. Here's why that matters.

Google has updated its estimates of the quantum computing resources needed to break elliptic curve cryptography. New research from Google shows that quantum computers could require far less resources ...

Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently ...

However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

As the joke goes, CRQC has been 10 to 20 years away for the past three decades. While the recent research suggests that ...

Bitcoin has been the king of cryptocurrencies since its inception. And despite its high volatility, the token generally benefits from faith among investors that its underlying encryption is ...

Google warns that ‘Q-Day’, when quantum computers can break current encryption, may arrive by 2029, earlier than previously expected. PCWorld reports this threatens RSA and ECC algorithms protecting ...

Quantum computers are coming and they may impact systems in unexpected ways that security teams will need to plan for.
