Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

To be human is, fundamentally, to be a forecaster. Occasionally a pretty good one. Trying to see the future, whether through the lens of past experience or the logic of cause and effect, has helped us ...

Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6 surfaced 500+ high-severity vulnerabilities that survived decades of expert review. Fifteen days later, they shipped Claude Code Security. Here's what reasoning-based ...

This article was co-authored with Emma Myer, a student at Washington and Lee University who studies Cognitive/Behavioral Science and Strategic Communication. In today’s digital age, social media has ...

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 ...
