Physicists Discover a Groundbreaking Method to Entangle Light and Sound

Quantum entanglement, a cornerstone of modern physics, involves correlating two or more unmeasured particles so that their properties intertwine and mirror each other. When one particle is measured, its counterpart’s corresponding properties instantly solidify, even when the two are separated by vast distances. In a groundbreaking development, physicists have introduced a bold new concept: entangling […]

No, Chinese Quantum Computers Have not Broken Military-Grade Encryption

Quantum Physics / Leandro Conceição

Recent headlines claim Chinese researchers used D-Wave quantum computers to hack RSA, AES, and “military-grade encryption.” This is both true and misleading. A May 2024 white paper in the Chinese Journal of Computers details how researchers used D-Wave’s quantum annealing to factor RSA-protected integers using Ising and QUBO models. The paper reports successful decryption of
