In ‘Quantum 101’ Session, WTO Trade Officials Hear Quantum Encryption Window May Close Within Five Years
Insider Brief The World Trade Organization’s (WTO) member delegations were told this week that the encryption underpinning international trade could be broken by quantum computers within roughly five years, and that the trading system has no shared definition yet of what it means to be “quantum safe.” The warning came at a one-hour session in […]
Van der Waals Stacking Enables Entangled Photons, Potentially Shrinking Quantum Computing Components by 1,000 Times
Insider Brief: Van der Waals engineering, a technique historically used to tailor material properties by stacking two-dimensional materials, has been used in applications ranging from superconductivity to the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect. Now, scientists from Nanyang Technological University Singapore are taking this approach in a new direction. In a recently published study in Nature […]
