(AOF) – A consortium of 20 European companies, led by SES with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA) and the European Commission, will be responsible for designing, developing, launching and operating the Eagle-1 satellite system dedicated to the quantum distribution of cryptographic keys (QKD – Quantum Key Distribution), and carry out the in-orbit … Read more
Posted Sep 15, 2022, 9:31 AMUpdated on Sep 15, 2022 at 9:47 am When it comes to digital security, defenders and attackers take turns taking advantage of small advances in technology. But what will these classic advantages be worth the day when quantum computers will be able to decrypt our secure communications, also called by … Read more
In order to effectively use a quantum computer, more specially prepared basic building blocks – in technical terms: entangled – are needed to perform computational operations. A team of physicists from the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching has for the first time demonstrated this task with photons emitted by a single atom. … Read more
A method known as quantum key distribution has long held the promise of communication security unattainable in conventional cryptography. An international team of scientists has just experimentally demonstrated, for the first time, an approach to quantum key distribution based on high-quality quantum entanglement, offering much broader security guarantees than previous schemes. The art of cryptography … Read more
Quantum computing is even more dangerous than artificial intelligence for humanity. This is the opinion of Vivek Wadhwa and Mauritz Kop, two American experts sounding the alarm in a forum… Artificial intelligence raises many concerns. Day by day, his abilities increase at a dazzling rate. With the emergence of tools like MidJourney or Dall-E 2, … Read more
Paris, France | AFP | Wednesday 27/07/2022 – An experiment carried out with the help of the Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) has produced a cryptography protocol, with a secure exchange of encryption keys thanks to the phenomenon of quantum entanglement, which must guarantee perfect data transfer security, according to a study published in Nature on … Read more
A researcher works on one of the quantum network nodes, where mirrors and filters guide laser beams to the diamond chip. MARIEKE DE LORIJN/QUTECH A Dutch team from the University of Delft has found the missing link between Homo sapiens and Homo… quanticus, its hyperconnected successor. For the first time, researchers have made a link … Read more
The Biden administration issued an executive order to ensure American leadership in quantum computing and a memorandum to mitigate security risks. Since at least the early 1990s, computer scientists warned that quantum computing, despite its potential to provide exponentially more powerful capabilities, can break traditional encryption methods and expose IT systems to prying eyes, particularly … Read more
