Long before scientists were talking much about it, Robert Redford fans learned about the power of quantum computers. It was 1992. A goofy movie called Sneakers warned about the dangers of computers ...
Nature talks to Peter Shor 25 years after he showed how to make quantum computations feasible — and how they could endanger our data. When physicists first thought up quantum computers in the 1980s, ...
When the Robert Redford film Sneakers hit theaters in 1992, most moviegoers had never heard of the Internet. They’d have guessed “World Wide Web” was a horror film involving spiders. And nobody knew ...
A team of researchers in China has unveiled a technique that—theoretically—could crack the most common methods used to ensure digital privacy, using a rudimentary quantum computer. The technique ...
Quantum factor: the Paul trap used by Monz and colleagues. (Courtesy: C Lackner/Quantum Optics and Spectroscopy Group, University of Innsbruck) A quantum computer made of five trapped ions has been ...
(Nanowerk News) A research team led by Prof. PAN Jianwei with the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), has been successful in performing Shor's ...
Peter Shor, a computer scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explains why he devised an algorithm for a quantum computer that could unravel our online data encryption. Celeste Biever ...
“Q-Day” is the term some experts use to describe when large-scale quantum computers are able to factorize the large prime numbers that underlie our public encryption systems, such as the ones that are ...
