Quantum factor: the Paul trap used by Monz and colleagues. (Courtesy: C Lackner/Quantum Optics and Spectroscopy Group, University of Innsbruck) A quantum computer made of five trapped ions has been ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography. The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted ...

There are adiabatic factoring algorithms and methods. Dwave is focused on optimization problems, however the system can be used to solve other problems including factoring. In November 2014, it was ...

A team at Google Quantum AI, led by researcher Craig Gidney, has shown that breaking RSA-2048 encryption could require roughly 20 times fewer physical qubits than previously estimated, collapsing the ...

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they’re not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

BOSTON, Jan. 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zapata Quantum, Inc. (OTC: ZPTA) (“Zapata”, “Zapata Quantum” or the “Company”), a pioneer in quantum computing application and algorithm development, today ...

This obviously would render all prime-factor based cryptography algorithms obsolete. I have warned the FBI about this for a while, however; what everyone wanted from me was an algorithm that does ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted using a tried-and-true method that relies on the idea that even the fastest computer would be unable to efficiently break a gigantic ...
