Quantum Computing Challenged By Security, Error Correction
By Karen Heyman - 04 Apr, 2024 - Comments: 0

The number and volume of warnings about a post-quantum cryptography (PQC) world are rising, as governments, banks, and other entities prepare for a rash of compromised data and untrustworthy digital signatures. Exactly when this will become a genuine threat is still somewhat fuzzy, because it depends on progress in developing robust qubits. A report by McKinsey & Co. estimates that by 20... » read more

Optimizing Quantum Gates For Error Correction in Superconducting Qubits (Google AI)
By Technical Paper Link - 25 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Optimizing quantum gates towards the scale of logical qubits" was published by researchers at Google AI and UC Riverside. Abstract "A foundational assumption of quantum error correction theory is that quantum gates can be scaled to large processors without exceeding the error-threshold for fault tolerance. Two major challenges that could become fundamental road... » read more

How Secure Are FPGAs?
By Karen Heyman - 04 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 1

The unique hybrid software/hardware nature of FPGAs makes them tempting targets for cyberattacks, while also enabling them to rebuff attacks and change the attack surface before significant damage can be done. But it's becoming increasingly challenging to address all the potential vulnerabilities. FPGAs are often included in larger systems, each with their own unique attack vectors as well a... » read more
