Useful quantum computers may need as few as 10,000 qubits
Researchers from Caltech and Oratomic, a Caltech-linked startup, published findings on March 31, 2026, arguing that a useful quantum computer capable of running Shor’s algorithm on real cryptographic ...
Two research groups say they have significantly reduced the amount of qubits and time required to crack common online ...
If you want to factor a number, one way to do it is Shor’s algorithm. That’s a quantum algorithm and finds prime factors of integers. That’s interesting because prime factorization is a big deal of ...
Researchers report that they have designed and built a quantum computer from five atoms in an ion trap. The computer uses laser pulses to carry out Shor's algorithm on each atom, to correctly factor ...
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 ...
