Many physicists are searching for a triplet superconductor. Indeed, we could all do with one, although we may not know it yet ...

Because the migration to PQC is a complex, multi-year undertaking that requires a strategic approach, Peters said organizations need to start now. Cryptography failure due to quantum attacks could ...

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

Four decades ago, physicists were theorizing that the mind-bending mechanics of quantum physics could be harnessed to make a new kind of computer that’s exponentially more powerful than conventional ...

Scientists have developed a new way to read the hidden states of Majorana qubits, which store information in paired quantum modes that resist noise. The results confirm their protected nature and show ...

Quantum computing has long occupied the edges of our collective imagination – frequently mentioned, rarely understood. For many, it remains a distant prospect rather than an immediate concern. But ...

The collaboration of TU Wien with research groups in China has resulted in a crucial building block for a new kind of quantum computer: The realization of a novel type of quantum logic gate makes it ...

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create.

What is the Q-Day prize? The Q-Day Prize is a challenge to make the Bitcoin network quantum resistant. On April 16, 2025, quantum computing-focused company Project 11 announced the “Q-Day Prize,” a ...

Vitalik Buterin outlines a roadmap to protect Ethereum from future quantum computing risks with validator and wallet upgrades ...
