“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.”

#US -Israeli actions ‘have no basis under international law,’ says Scottish leader Swinney

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.
