A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are now embedded in the global financial system. Countries are creating strategic reserves, and institutional investors, from hedge funds to pension schemes, are ...

A new research paper by Google Quantum AI researcher Craig Gidney shows that breaking widely used RSA encryption may require 20 times fewer quantum resources than previously believed. The finding did ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

Last August, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released its first three finalized post-quantum encryption standards, designed to withstand attacks from quantum computers. It ...

Quantum computers could crack a common data encryption technique once they have a million qubits, or quantum bits. While this is still well beyond the capabilities of existing quantum computers, this ...

Forward-looking: Software companies are gaining momentum in quantum computing as venture capital increasingly backs advances in algorithms, signaling a shift in an industry once dominated by hardware ...
