Our future encrypted security – the new algorithm needs more work

The US The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has risen to the challenge of finding the encryption we will need when quantum (or just really capable) computers are developed in the future. After a strenuous vetting period they found four contenders to work with: NIST Announces First Four …

Quantum computers – it is never too early to have a plan

A simple explanation of what a quantum computer is, without going into quantum states, parallel universes and super position, is that they will be computers that will exponentially expand our computing power beyond todays classical computers. A quantum computer is not a general purpose computer but a computing device. Quantum …
