However, it is not necessary to use fancy quantum cryptography technology such as entanglement to avoid the looming quantum ...

In February, a research team published a new architecture showing that RSA-2048, the encryption standard underpinning most of the internet’s security, could be broken with fewer than 100,000 physical ...

But RSA worked until the advent of quantum computers. These machines harness the physics of subatomic particles to process information in fundamentally different ways, including factoring long strings ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to ...

New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

RSA encryption hides a profound paradox at its core: security for billions of people rests on a mathematical question about prime numbers that has remained unsolved for thousands of years. This is the ...

The day when a quantum computer manages to break common encryption, or Q-Day, is fast approaching, and the world is not close ...

According to a study by engineers at Caltech and the UC Department of Physics, quantum computers do not need to be nearly as ...

RSA encryption transforms an ancient unsolved mystery about prime numbers into the most widely used security system in history. This is the story of how a simple lock-and-key intuition became the ...
