DARPA Support of Harvard Scalable Quantum Computer Breakthrough

A Harvard-led, DARPA supported team developed novel logical qubits to enable scalable quantum computers. A team of researchers working on DARPA’s Optimization with Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum devices (ONISQ) program has created the first-ever quantum circuit with logical quantum bits (qubits), a key discovery that could accelerate fault-tolerant quantum computing and revolutionize concepts for designing quantum …

Bitcoin Vulnerabilities in Mining, Signatures and Transactions to Quantum Computers

Quantum computers leverage some aspects of quantum physics to make computers. They can create huge amounts of quantum states but it is also difficult to make the actual algorithms to use the abundant states. A classical (regular) computer would need more atoms than are in the entire universe to match the number of quantum stats …
