The dreaded Q-day could arrive sooner than expected, and when it does, experts say we need to be ready. Reading time 8 minutes In 1994, American mathematician Peter Shor developed a quantum algorithm ...

Last week, cybersecurity researchers woke up to bad news. Research in new papers published by Google and a quantum computing startup, Oratomic, suggests that quantum computers capable of breaking the ...

Powerful quantum computers may be closer than scientists thought. To unleash the technology’s full power, scientists have long thought that quantum computers with millions of quantum bits, or qubits, ...

Zcash has always operated as an end-to-end encrypted money system. What has changed is that encryption is now the default user experience and the ecosystem around it has scaled to match. The ...
