Method creates universal quantum computer with qudits
Physicists from MIPT and the Russian Quantum Center have developed an easier method to create a universal quantum computer using multilevel qudits, each one of which is able to work with multiple "conventional" qubits.Professor Vladimir Man'ko, Aleksey Fedorov and Evgeny Kiktenko have published the results of their studies of multilevel quantum systems in a series of papers in Physical Review A, Physics Letters A, and also Quantum Measurements an...
Connected devices need e-commerce standard security
Billions of connected devices are potentially at risk unless security sensitive software can be managed to an e-commerce standard, according to a group of leading technology security experts. The companies, including ARM, Intercede, Solacia and Symantec worked together to assess the security challenges of connecting billions of devices across multiple sectors; including industrial, home, health services and transportation. Their conclusion was th...
Combining passwords & tokens improves mobile security
