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

Hacking a 50-bit RSA key is so easy you could do it with your cell phone in secondsRecent 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...

Shattering the Temperature Barrier: The Quantum Leap of Quantum Ground State Acoustics in Modern Physics

Laboratory Experimental Configuration. Credit: SAOT Max GmelchThe quantum ground state of an acoustic wave, achieved through complete system cooling, presents a significant advancement in bridging classical and quantum mechanics. By minimizing the number of acoustic phonons, disturbances to quantum measurements are reduced, paving the way for transformative applications.Breakthrough in Cooling Sound WavesRecent research by...
