Quantum computing move toward “standard manufacturing”
Quantum computing is advancing from bespoke, made-to-order models towards a more standardized manufacturing approach, signaling a significant shift in the industry. Key developments include: Companies are pioneering the move towards manufacturing facilities, such as a new 100,000-square-foot facility outside Seattle, from a company called IonQ aiming for “Henry Ford kind of assembly lines” for quantum […]
Google quantum computer attains quantum supremacy
Google scientists have completed a task on a quantum computer that would take a supercomputer 47 years to finish. The study, published on ArXiv, describes how they used Google’s upgraded quantum computer with 70 qubits, which are the equivalent of classical computer bits. The task was a random circuit sampling calculation, which involves running random […]
RSA’s Adi Shamir downplays quantum computing impact on encryption
Adi Shamir, a renowned cryptographer, feels that fears about quantum computers cracking encryption techniques are exaggerated. Shamir stated during the annual cryptographers’ panel at the RSA Conference in San Francisco that while AI and cryptography have delivered on their promises, quantum computing has yet to demonstrate its potential and may not do so for decades. […]

NIST Selects Four Encryption Algorithms To Counter Future Attacks On Quantum Computers
The Department of Commerce’s National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has selected four encryption algorithms to withstand future quantum computer attacks. The four encryption algorithms include CRYSTALS-Kyber, CRYSTALS-Dilithium, FALCON and SPHINCS+. The four algorithms were created by experts from several countries and institutions. The algorithms are designed with two main objectives associated with encryption […]
