| | 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 ...
