Report Details Risks and Benefits of Developing a Practical Quantum Computer, Identifies Metrics for Tracking Progress WASHINGTON – Given the current state of quantum computing and the significant ...

A long-sought “holy grail” in cryptography is poised to change the way we protect sensitive information. Today’s standard encryption schemes take an all-or-nothing approach. Once scrambled, your data ...

Quantum computers are coming. And when they arrive, they are going to upend the way we protect sensitive data. Unlike classical computers, quantum computers harness quantum mechanical effects — like ...

At the same time, a March 2026 preprint from a Caltech–Berkeley–Oratomic collaboration explores what might be possible using ...

Cryptography is widely used to hide information and applications include cash machines, computer passwords and internet communications. A new research project will examine the various methods to show ...

As computer scientists tackle a greater range of problems, their work has grown increasingly interdisciplinary. This year, many of the most significant computer science results also involved other ...
