Initiative aims to publish a formally verified implementation of Shor’s quantum factoring algorithm with relevance to cryptography and other high-value domains ...

Project Eleven, a quantum computing research firm, has launched the Q-Day Prize, offering 1 Bitcoin (BTC) to the first individual or team that can break an elliptic curve cryptographic (ECC) key using ...

In 1994, Peter Shor introduced an algorithm that could theoretically break RSA encryption, demonstrating quantum computing’s transformative potential. However, quantum computers lacked the scale and ...

Peter Shor published one of the earliest algorithms for quantum computers in 1994. Running Shor's algorithm on a hypothetical quantum computer, one could rapidly factor enormous numbers—a seemingly ...
