Collaborate Disseminate
Quantum computers present a unique threat to many aspects of modern information technology. In particular, many cryptographic systems could be at risk of compromise in the event a malicious actor …read more Continue reading Mastercard’s New Card: Safer From Quantum Attacks?
In any normal situation, if you’d read an article that about building your own quantum computer, a fully understandable and natural reaction would be to call it clickbaity poppycock. But an event like the Chaos Communication Congress is anything but a normal situation, and you never know who will show …read more

Is ‘quantum supremacy’ the moment that the rarefied world of quantum computing finally enters popular consciousness? Probably not. Continue reading IBM tears into Google’s ‘quantum supremacy’ claim
IBM has boosted its growing stable of quantum computers with a new 53-quantum bit (qubit) device, the most powerful ever offered for commercial use. Continue reading IBM’s new 53-qubit quantum ‘mainframe’ is live in the cloud
Have you ever heard the old axiom that if you want to design a simple system, ask yourself if your grandmother could use it? Maybe that was on Wired’s mind because they asked a quantum computing expert — particularly IBM’s [Dr. Talia Gershon] — to explain what exactly quantum computing is at 5 levels. In the video they shot, which you can see below, [Dr. Gershon] talks to a younger child, a teenager, an undergraduate computer science student, a graduate student, and then a physicist.
We enjoyed some of the analogies of spinning pennies and the way she was able …read more
In what appears to be the world’s first quantum satellite transmission, China has successfully sent an “unbreakable” code over a long distance from an orbiting satellite to the Earth, achieving a milestone in the next generation encryption based on “quantum cryptography.”
In August last year, China launched the world’s first quantum communication satellite into the Earth’s orbit aboard a Long

The only thing that remains is to actually build it. Continue reading Here’s How to Build the First Large-Scale Quantum Computer
Quantum Computers – Boon or Bane?
Quantum computers can perform operations much more quickly and efficiently even with the use of less energy than conventional computers, but that’s bad news for encryption — a process which scrambles data according to a massively complex mathematical code.
In theory, quantum computers can break almost all the existing encryption algorithms used on the

Maybe building a full-scale quantum computer is just a matter of linking a bunch of small ones. Continue reading For the First Time, Researchers Bridge Quantum Computers on a Single Chip
