With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to arXiv.org. Another prevalent form of encryption, RSA–2048, would require 100,000 qubits and 10 days to break, according to the researchers, from Caltech and quantum computing company Oratomic in Pasadena, Calif.

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to ultra-secure communication that could make quantum encryption simpler and more efficient than ever before. By harnessing a 19th-century optics phenomenon called the Talbot effect,

A new research study has raised fresh concerns in the cryptocurrency world, questioning the long-term security of major digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum. According to the findings, advancements in quantum computing could potentially weaken the cryptographic systems that currently protect these networks.

Elon Musk said on Monday that lost crypto wallets could become accessible in the future if quantum computers break current encryption. ・New research from Google Quantum AI suggests the math securing Bitcoin and Ethereum may be easier to crack than previously believed.
