New research suggests that a quantum computer could crack a crucial cryptography method with just 10,000 qubits.

With around 26,000 qubits, the encryption could be broken in a day, the researchers report in a paper submitted March 30 to arXiv.org. Another prevalent form of encryption, RSA–2048, would require 100 ...

Emerging market opportunities lie in developing and implementing post-quantum cryptography (PQC) solutions to secure data against future quantum computer threats. This need creates demands for new ...
