| | | | | This blog considers two recent papers on the dynamics of scientific research: one in Nature and one by the brilliant physicist, Michael Nielsen, and the brilliant founder of Stripe, Patrick Collison, who is a very unusual CEO.These findings are very important to the question: how can we make economies more productive and what is the... | |

| | | | | A recent DefenseNews article again put Shor's algorithm front and center when writing about Quantum Computing. Yet, there is so much more to this field, and with Lockheed Martin working with... | |

| | | | | KentuckyFC writes "In May last year, Google and NASA paid a reported $15 million for a quantum computer from the controversial Canadian start up D-Wave Systems. One question mark over the device is whether it really is quantum or just a conventional computer in disguise. That's harder to answer than... | |

| | | A group of Chinese researchers have just published a paper claiming that they can-although they have not yet done so-break 2048-bit RSA. This is something to take seriously. It might not be correct, but it's not obviously wrong. We have long known from Shor's algorithm that factoring with a quantum computer is easy. But it takes a big quantum computer, on the orders of millions of qbits, to factor anything resembling the key sizes we use today. What the researchers have done is combine classical lattice ... | ||
