Watch out crypto-bros—it might be time to start moving assets. Researchers are making progress toward quantum computers powerful enough to undermine the mathematical assumptions that currently protect cryptocurrency and other blockchain-based assets. Because of this, the industry needs to replace its cryptographic infrastructure before the quantum computers arrive. “The great quantum migration is going to

Whether a beam of light passes through an object often depends on the material of the object and the properties of the light, such as its frequency, color, and polarization. These properties can be assigned to individual photons, but some characteristics of light emerge only collectively, through quantum correlations between many photons. Developing materials that

Scientists have achieved It has been shown that a quantum computer can improve the accuracy and scope of drug discovery models with generative artificial intelligence. And they did it taking advantage of their free time and the money they had left over from other projects. The team at the Technical University of Denmark ran their
