The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Abstract: In this article, an adaptive accelerated derivative-free optimization algorithm is developed. A composition of noncommutative maps based on objective function evaluations is used to ...

Quantum computers—devices that process information using quantum mechanical effects—have long been expected to outperform ...

The Bitcoin network took its first step towards quantum-computing resistance with the addition of BIP 360 to its repository.
