Every online bank transfer, private message and Bitcoin transaction rests on the assumption that some math problems are ...

For quantum computers to change the game of computation, scientists need to show that the machines’ calculations are correct. Now, there’s hope. Google’s Willow quantum chip has achieved verifiable ...

Fully functional quantum computers remain out of reach, but optimism across the field is rising. At the Q2B Silicon Valley conference in December, researchers and executives ...

There are currently about 80 companies across the world manufacturing quantum computing hardware. Because I report on quantum computing, I have had a chance to watch it grow as an industry from up ...

Quantum technology can process an enormous amount of data and solve complex problems in seconds rather than decades. Remarkably, quantum technology first appeared in the early 1900s. It originated ...

Quantum computing is on the horizon, promising to solve complex problems beyond the capabilities of classical computers. But for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, which rely on today’s cryptographic ...

A gold superconducting quantum computer hangs against a black background. Quantum computers, like the one shown here, could someday allow chemists to solve problems that classical computers can’t.

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

The article “DARPA Leverages Universities’ Quantum Expertise” by Kimberly Underwood in the July issue of SIGNAL Magazine discussed the exciting partnership between the Defense Advanced Research ...

Quantum computing won’t break Bitcoin in 2026, but attackers are already preparing. Here’s how crypto is moving toward post-quantum security, and how ready it is.

For years, the conversation around quantum computing and cryptocurrency has been dominated by a single, breathless question: Will a quantum breakthrough kill Bitcoin? The fear is simple enough.
