Google Researcher Lowers Quantum Bar to Crack RSA Encryption
Insider Brief A new study from a Google Quantum AI researcher suggests that a 2048-bit RSA encryption key, a common standard for securing online data, could be cracked in less than a week using a quantum computer with fewer than a million noisy qubits—an order-of-magnitude drop from previous estimates. The paper, authored by researcher Craig […]
Q-CTRL and Network Rail Use Quantum Optimization to Solve Large-Scale Scheduling Problems
Insider Brief: Rail scheduling is a combinatorial labyrinth where hundreds of trains move through a shared physical space, each governed by rigid timetables and physical constraints. Every decision from when to arrive, which platform to use, and how long to dwell must balance efficiency, safety, and cascading knock-on effects across the network. This is one […]
