A Los Alamos scientist has shown that quantum computers can be used to “factorize” group representations, a mathematical ...

Noncommutative geometry, at its core, challenges the classical notion of a point by allowing coordinates to fail to commute. This alteration leads to a rich interplay between geometry and algebra, ...

Mathematics offers an astonishing bridge between the infinitely small world of particles and the cosmic immensity. Researchers are exploring how abstract geometric shapes can describe both ...

A new report by Capgemini warns that quantum computing may break the widely used public-key cryptographic systems within the next decade — threatening everything from online banking to blockchain ...

Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them ...

Welcome to this biweekly update on quantum computing. The past two weeks have brought new research milestones, global science projects, and early ...
