Researchers Show Sunlight Can Generate Quantum Entanglement
Insider Brief Researchers demonstrated for the first time that concentrated sunlight can generate quantum-entangled photon pairs with high fidelity, challenging the long-held assumption that lasers are required for this process. By concentrating sunlight collected over 1.4 square meters into a nonlinear crystal, the team produced polarization-entangled photons with nearly 94% fidelity and correlations that violated […]
Amazon Researcher Claims Quantum Algorithm Could Challenge PQC Foundations
Insider Brief A preliminary paper by an Amazon Web Services cryptographer presents a polynomial-time quantum algorithm for the Dihedral Coset Problem, a result that, if validated, could strengthen the theoretical case that quantum computers can efficiently solve lattice problems underlying much of today’s post-quantum cryptography. The research builds on earlier theoretical work connecting the Dihedral […]
