Srinivas Shekar, Founder and CEO, Pantherun Technologies. This growth in illicit activity has pushed encryption to the center of debates about national security, law enforcement and civil liberties.

Powerful quantum computers may be closer than scientists thought. To unleash the technology’s full power, scientists have long thought that quantum computers with millions of quantum bits, or qubits, ...

It's long been hypothesized, and now broadly accepted, that should practical quantum computers arrive, they could eventually break the conventional cryptography methods that underpin today's digital ...

Some 30 years ago, the mathematician Peter Shor took a niche physics project — the dream of building a computer based on the counterintuitive rules of quantum mechanics — and shook the world. Shor ...
