A new algorithm can further exploit the twin challenges of information loss and translation to mimic a quantum computer with far fewer resources than previously ...

Building on a landmark algorithm, researchers propose a way to make a smaller and more noise-tolerant quantum factoring circuit for cryptography. The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted ...

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 22 (Reuters) - Google said it has developed a computer algorithm that points the way to practical applications for quantum computing and will be able to generate unique data for use ...

Update: On 18 April, Yilei Chen announced an issue with his algorithm which he does not know how to fix. This means the algorithm does not undermine the mathematics behind post-quantum cryptography.

Small-scale quantum computers can enhance machine learning performance, as shown in an experimental study using a photonic quantum processor. (Nanowerk News) One of the current hot research topics is ...
