Building a utility-scale quantum computer that can crack one of the most vital cryptosystems—elliptic curves—doesn’t require nearly the resources anticipated just a year or two ago, two independently written whitepapers have concluded.

Traditional encryption methods have long been vulnerable to quantum computers, but two new analyses suggest a capable enough machine may be built much sooner than previously thought

Researchers at the California Institute of Technology theorize that a functional quantum computer may require far fewer qubits than previously thought, making it feasible for the first quantum computer to be deployed before the end of the decade.

The world’s wealthiest person, Elon Musk, is known for his deep interest in Bitcoin (BTC) and rarely holds back from sharing his views whenever the topic comes up. So when Google issued a new warning about the potential threat quantum computing poses to Bitcoin,

An international team of scientists proved the never-before-seen molecule's exotic nature using a quantum computer, potentially ushering in new scientific opportunities.

My two favorite quantum computing stocks that I think will soar during the next few years are IonQ ( IONQ 7.83%) and D-Wave Quantum ( QBTS 5.29%). Both of these companies are taking different approaches to the quantum computing realm, and both can thrive.

Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, silicon's compatibility with existing chip technology and its long coherence times in silicon-based spin qubits make it a promising material for scalable quantum computing.
