Random numbers are critical to encryption algorithms, but they're nigh-on impossible for computers to generate. Now, Swedish researchers say they've created a new, super-secure quantum random number ...

First, by incorporating crucial components such as tunnel junctions, amplifiers, Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC), and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) units into a microchip through the use of a ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...

Researchers have successfully used a quantum algorithm to solve a complex century-old mathematical problem long considered impossible for even the most powerful conventional supercomputers. The ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can be ...

The encryption protecting billions of dollars, which experts once called unbreakable, no longer works. Hackers don’t need passwords. They don’t brute-force keys. They simply walk through digital ...
