Quantum computing has long focused on hardware and scalability, but now, as the technology becomes ever more promising and ...

One notable example is the $34 million secured by British quantum algorithms specialist Phasecraft from a group of investors, including an entity linked to Danish pharmaceutical ...

In one sign of the potential gains, a researcher at Google claimed recently to have devised a 20-fold reduction in the scale of a quantum computer that would be needed to run Shor’s algorithm, which ...

Shor’s algorithm and its threat of decrypting RSA-based security can be considered the basis of a quantum carry trade. Developed by Peter Shor in 1994, this algorithm demonstrates that a quantum ...

Shor’s celebrated algorithm allows to factorize n-bit integers using a quantum circuit of size O (n^2). For factoring to be feasible in practice, however, it is desirable to reduce this number further ...

Overview: Quantum computing poses a threat to Bitcoin’s security by potentially compromising ECDSA signatures and SHA-256 ...

In 1994, Peter Shor, an American mathematician working at Bell Labs, published a paper with a wonky title and earth-shaking implications. In “Polynomial-Time Algorithms for Prime Factorization ...
