The latest trends in software development from the Computer Weekly Application Developer Network. Sometimes classed as a Japanese startup, OptQC works with optical photonic technologies to develop a ...

In December 2024, Google announced that its Willow quantum chip completed a computation in minutes that would take the world's best classical supercomputers longer than the age of the universe to ...

The quantum computing future is rapidly reshaping how scientists think about computation, with machines moving toward fault-tolerant systems capable of solving problems beyond classical limits. From ...

The encryption protecting communications against criminal and nation-state snooping is under threat. As private industry and governments get closer to building useful quantum computers, the algorithms ...

The US National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) has been pushing for the development of post-quantum cryptographic algorithms since 2016. "If large-scale quantum computers are ever built ...

Expert opinion from University of Auckland - Waipapa Taumata Rau Analysis: Inside laboratories kept at very cold temperatures, scientists are building quantum computers – machines that could transform ...

Some of our astute readers noticed an apparent anomaly in the graph comparing the complexities of Shor’s algorithm and GNFS in the original blog. Specifically, it seemed as though GNFS (General Number ...

There’s little doubt that some of the most important pillars of modern cryptography will tumble spectacularly once quantum computing, now in its infancy, matures sufficiently. Some experts say that ...

The National Research Council of Canada's Applied Quantum Computing (AQC) Challenge program is launching a call for proposals to support Canada's National Quantum Strategy. The call aims to enable ...

Peter Shor didn’t set out to break the internet. But an algorithm he developed in the mid-1990s threatened to do just that. In a landmark paper, Shor showed how a hypothetical computer that exploited ...
