“Current #EncryptionTechnology relies on complex mathematical combinations, but many #scientists believe that the arrival of #QuantumComputers will make this insecure.

By contrast, #Bennett and #Brassard's theory - known as #BB84 - shows that any attempt to hack or copy their #quantum #encryption #key changes the very behaviour of its elements, making replication impossible.”

Quantum pioneers win Turing Award for encryption breakthrough

It is hoped Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard's work will make digital communications secure for decades ahead.

The 19th-century mathematical clue that led to quantum mechanics

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While studying the paths of light rays and moving objects, Hamilton noticed a striking mathematical similarity between them and used it to develop a powerful new framework for mechanics. At the time, it seemed like a clever analogy—but decades later, as scientists uncovered the strange wave-particle nature of light and matter, Hamilton’s insight took on new meaning.

A simple chemical tweak could supercharge quantum computers

Quantum computers need special materials called topological superconductors—but they’ve been notoriously difficult to create. Researchers have now shown they can trigger this exotic state by subtly adjusting the mix of tellurium and selenium in ultra-thin films. That tiny chemical tweak changes how electrons interact, effectively turning a quantum phase “dial” until the ideal state appears. The result is a more practical path toward building stable, next-generation quantum devices.
