A quantum computer has been built that can find prime factors, potentially signalling the beginning of the end for cryptography that relies on the multiplication of large prime numbers. Such computers have existed before, but without scalability – there was no reasonable path to enough quantum bits (qubits) to tackle encryption-scale numbers. The new computer, designed ...
