Two brothers in Singapore have built a data-encryption company on pure mathematics, betting that a problem no algorithm can solve will keep files safe from the quantum computers expected to break much of today's encryption within years.

Quantum computing has long been the domain of theoretical physics and academic labs, but it’s starting to move from concept to experimentation in the real world. Industries from logistics and energy to AI and cybersecurity are beginning to explore how ...

This nascent technology is beginning to move out of the realm of theoretical research and into the early stages of practical applications.

The chip industry is the most complex that you could imagine, and quantum computing, intrinsically, is based on some of the most complex, non-intuitively understandable math that humankind has ever discovered,

Quantum computers promise to outperform today's traditional computers in many areas of science, including chemistry, physics, and cryptography, but proving they will be superior has been challenging. The most well-known problem in which quantum computers ...

The day when a quantum computer can crack commonly used forms of encryption is drawing closer. The world isn’t prepared, experts say.

Scientists may have uncovered the missing piece of quantum computing by reviving a particle once dismissed as useless. This particle, called the neglecton, could give fragile quantum systems the full power they need by working alongside Ising anyons.

The company has made public the mathematics behind its post-quantum encryption verification, setting a challenge to the entire industry to prove its own code is equally secure.
