NIST selects second PQC Key Encapsulation algorithm

Tara Lie 18/03/2025

The fourth round of the American National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC) competition has selected HQC as a secondary quantum-resilient key encapsulation mechanism (KEM) to the previously selected ML-KEM (based on CRYSTALS-Kyber). HQC, or “Hemming Quasi-Cyclic” in full, is a code-based KEM which utilises the cryptographically challenging Quasi-Cyclic Syndrome Decoding Problem as its base and built around the concept of error-correcting codes. NIST has stated that they have selected HQC as a backup algorithm to ML-KEM, which utilises a different mathematical approach. ML-KEM is a modular lattice-based algorithm which was first selected by NIST in 2022, and

Microsoft presents Majorana 1: The Quantum Processor Promising to Reshape the Future

Tara Lie 24/02/2025

Microsoft has taken a significant step forward in the field of quantum computing with the launch of its first quantum processor: Majorana 1. Unlike most quantum chips that are based on electron-based qubits, this revolutionary processor exploits Majorana particles, a revolutionary development in the field. At the World Governments Summit in Dubai last week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai compared quantum computing to artificial intelligence from a decade ago, highlighting its potential to reshape the future. Despite its promises, quantum computing remains one of the most complex challenges in modern science. Microsoft presents Majorana 1 In a revolutionary announcement on Wednesday, Microsoft presented

RHC interviews Professor Andrea Morello from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation at the University of New South Wales in Australia
