Randomness is incredibly useful. People often draw straws, throw dice or flip coins to make fair choices. Random numbers can enable auditors to make completely unbiased selections. Randomness is also ...

Even as quantum computing advances steadily, it will not replace classical computers in the near future. Most current systems ...

A team including Scott Aaronson demonstrated what may be the first practical application of quantum computers to a real world problem. Using a 56-qubit quantum computer, researchers have for the first ...

A team that included researchers at a US bank says it has created a protocol that can generate certified truly random numbers, opening the possibility that current generation quantum computers can be ...

Quantum computing is in its infancy, but its potential has sparked intense exploration. This article examines three major trajectories that will shape the future of quantum computing: the gate-based ...

Advances in quantum hardware, middleware, and software will lead to a general-purpose quantum advantage machine being developed by 2030. Quantum computing combines quantum physics and computer science ...

Nearly three decades ago, a new method for encrypting digital information transformed online security. Dubbed RSA↓ RSA stands for “Rivest–Shamir–Adleman,” the surnames of its inventors. , it exploited ...
