In what has all of the necessary ingredients to morph into a doomsday scenario, China's scientists have reportedly leveraged Western quantum computing tech - from D-Wave, specifically - to crack open encryption algorithms that were previously considered unbreakable. This development marks a significant milestone for the still-nascent field of quantum cryptography. “BREAKING: Chinese quantum computer just cracked multiple SPN algorithms. This is way bigger than cracking the ENIGMA code. The future of encryption is at stake.”https://t.co/ZhphtZIdjr — William Huo (@wmhuo168) October 12, 2024 To wit, as per a report by the South China Morning Post, a team of researchers led […]
