The breakthrough addresses concerns that powerful quantum computers could eventually crack encryption standards to leave vulnerable financial systems, government communications, health data and media.

The commonly used RSA encryption algorithm can now be cracked by a quantum computer with only 100,000 qubits, but the technical challenges to building such a machine remain numerous ...

Rebecca Schulman is a professor of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Hopkins who is currently working on developing new materials that both contain and process information. Schulman recently ...

For decades, quantum computing has been heralded as a technology of the future, promising to solve problems far beyond the reach of supercomputers. But its practical use has remained elusive. That’s ...
