Initiative aims to publish a formally verified implementation of Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm with relevance to cryptography and other high-value domains ...

The phenomenal success of our integrated circuits managed to obscure an awkward fact: they're not always the best way to solve problems. The features of modern computers—binary operations, separated ...

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 ...

A new technique that efficiently retrieves scattered light from fluorescent sources can be used to record neuronal signals coming from deep within the brain. The technique, developed by physicists at ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted using a tried-and-true method that relies on the idea that even the fastest computer would be unable to efficiently break a gigantic ...
