Q-CTRL partnered with JIJ Inc. to develop a hybrid quantum-classical workflow optimizing power grid configurations on real hardware for networks to 69 buses As renewable energy and electric vehicle adoption increase, power grids become more complex to manage. Traditional optimization methods…
Combined with least-privilege access, segmentation, monitoring and timely patching, these measures can help limit the reach of a compromised identity. Modern PKI forms part of a broader cybersecurity architecture addressing prevention, detection, containment and recovery. Strengthening cybersecurity for the financial…
A new preprint estimates that a quantum computer built from 22,593 so-called cat qubits could break RSA-2048 encryption, a widely used standard for online security, in 3.14 days. ScienceAlert reported on the work, which comes from a team led by researchers at…
Justin Drake aims to finish Ethereum’s post-quantum upgrade by December 2028. Ethereum Foundation researcher Justin Drake said he hopes to complete the post-quantum upgrade of Ethereum’s base protocol by December 2028. He made the comment on November 3 at Devcon 8 in Mumbai, setting…
One of the biggest obstacles in quantum computing is surprisingly simple to describe: how do you read information without changing or destroying it? Unlike the bits used in ordinary computers, quantum bits, or qubits, are extraordinarily sensitive to measurement. Trying…
Rice University Rice’s Xie honored with ACS-Moore Postdoctoral Bridge Award in Quantum Materials Fang Xie, a postdoctoral fellow in Rice University’s physics and astronomy department and Extreme Quantum Materials Alliance (eQMA), has received the ACS-Moore Postdoctoral Bridge Award in Quantum…
Susan Curtis is a freelance science writer based in Bristol, UK. Researchers have proposed that structural disorder can be harnessed to generate coherent, directional light from the passage of a charged particle. Read More » A new method lets quantum gas…
Much of our online security relies on a digital padlock system called RSA encryption, which protects our privacy as we doomscroll social media, get software updates, or do banking transactions to fund further doomscrolling. The RSA-2048 encryption standard is easy…
Rusty is a quantum science nerd. He's been into academic science all his life, but spent his formative years doing less academic things. Now he turns his attention to write about his passion, the quantum realm. He loves all things…
A layer of material just a few atoms thick inside the Josephson junction may be the key limitation preventing the next leap in quantum computing power, according to researchers at UC Santa Barbara. The university’s team joins the new $27.9 million…
