China’s quantum* crypto tech may be unhackable, but it’s hardly a secret

September 16, 2024 at 04:33AM China is making significant strides in quantum networking leadership and infrastructure using quantum key distribution (QKD). While this seems secure, it doubles bandwidth and has minimal practical applications due to its inefficiency and reliance on short distances. In contrast, public key cryptography is faster, more practical, and immune to quantum … Read more

Thanks, Edward Snowden: you propelled China to quantum networking leadership

September 10, 2024 at 01:38AM China has established a strong lead in quantum networking technology, particularly in quantum communication and secure data transmission through quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum internet demonstration. However, the US maintains an edge in quantum computing and allied nations excel in developing quantum algorithms. The report underscores the need for … Read more
