What happens when quantum computers can finally crack encryption and break into the world’s best-kept secrets? It’s called ...

Quantum computing is coming. But the question remains: when does it stop being over the horizon and will it be useful?

A quantum computer algorithm that is used to find the prime factors in an encryption key. Created by applied mathematician Peter Shor in the mid-1990s, Shor's algorithm may be used to break the ...

In this era of rapid technological evolution, Bhooshan Ravikumar Gadkari, a specialist in digital security, examines the ...

This promise is based on a quantum factoring algorithm proposed in 1994 by Peter Shor, who is now a professor at MIT. But ...

The Barcelona Supercomputing Center is home to Spain’s first publicly accessible quantum computer. EL PAÍS witnessed its ...

All is not doom and gloom, however. There are families of public-key algorithms that aren’t solved by Shor’s algorithm or any of the other known quantum algorithms, although they haven’t ...

Now, with the quantum threat, we're faced with another serious challenge to cybersecurity. To see it off, governments must again step in to find a solution.

Your work will be autograded. We will describe Shor's algorithm and as part of Shor's algorithm show how Quantum Fourier Transform (a very useful operation for quantum systems) is computed. We will ...
