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

With quantum computing threatening current encryption standards, experts call for organisations to achieve crypto agility by managing the lifecycle of certificates and cryptographic keys through autom ...

One day in November, a product strategist we’ll call Michelle (not her real name), logged into her LinkedIn account and switched her gender to male. She also changed her name to Michael, she told ...

At M.I.T., a new program called “artificial intelligence and decision-making” is now the second-most-popular undergraduate major. By Natasha Singer Natasha Singer covers computer science and A.I.

Tor has announced improved encryption and security for the circuit traffic by replacing the old tor1 relay encryption algorithm with a new design called Counter Galois Onion (CGO). One reason behind ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Imagine a town with two widget merchants. Customers prefer cheaper widgets, so the merchants must compete to set the lowest price.

Alphabet Inc.’s Google ran an algorithm on its “Willow” quantum-computing chip that can be repeated on similar platforms and outperform classical supercomputers, a breakthrough it said clears a path ...

Designed to accelerate advances in medicine and other fields, the tech giant’s quantum algorithm runs 13,000 times as fast as software written for a traditional supercomputer. A quantum computer at ...

Have you ever wondered how computers understand what we want them to do? It all comes down to programming languages. These special sets of instructions have changed a lot over the years, from really ...

Quantum computers still can’t do much. Almost every time researchers have found something the high-tech machines should one day excel at, a classical algorithm comes along that can do it just as well ...

Computer science involves much more than writing code. It blends technical knowledge —like programming, algorithms and data systems — with soft skills, such as communication and problem-solving.
