peter honeymanOh wow, that’s cool! I’ve always really admired Gilles Brassard in particular!
Bruce MacDonald"In 1949, mathematician and computer scientist Claude Shannon proved that perfect secrecy in communications is only possible between parties who share ahead of time a secret key that is at least as long as the message itself. Public-key cryptography later provided a powerful workaround by relying on mathematical problems which were believed to be hard to solve—assumptions embedded in modern digital infrastructure but shown by Peter Shor as early as 1994 to become insecure when a full-size quantum computer is available. In sharp contrast, BB84 achieves information-theoretic security without computational assumptions, instead relying on a fundamental property of quantum information: it cannot be copied or measured without disturbance. Any attempt at eavesdropping leaves detectable traces before any information can be compromised."
2025 ACM Turing Award
https://awards.acm.org/about/2025-turing
Charles H. Bennett and Gilles Brassard are the recipients of the 2025 ACM A.M. Turing Award for their essential role in establishing the foundations of quantum information science and transforming secure communication and computing
Bennett, an American physicist at IBM Research, and Brassard, a Canadian computer scientist at the Université de Montréal, are widely recognized as founders of quantum information science, a field at the intersection of physics and computer science that treats quantum mechanical phenomena not merely as properties of matter, but as resources for processing and transmitting information. The ACM A.M. Turing Award, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize in Computing,” carries a $1 million prize with financial support provided by Google, Inc. The award is named for Alan M. Turing, the British mathematician who articulated the mathematical foundations of computing.

Lars Marowsky-Brée 😷Algorithm optimization pro tip: if you add a dynamic delay to the maximum interval required for the largest input you encounter, you can implement every algorithm as O(1).
