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 ...

| Unitards: another consequence ofquantum computing. Back in December I asked readers for some topics they were particularly keen to read about on this blog. One of the best (and sadly, most challenging) suggestions was to say something about post-quantum cryptography. Roughly speaking, this term describes the future of cryptographyafter quantum computers arrive and screw things...
