Chinese scientists at Shanghai University have determined that a quantum computer from the Canadian firm D-Wave can effectively crack a popular encryption method.
Researchers found it can attack Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption, which is used by web browsers, VPNs, email services, and <a alt="chips" …
