We hope that this work will inspire future efforts to match any further quantum factorisation records, should they arise.</p><p>PDF includes such gems as « We use the UK form “factorise” here in place of the US variants “factorize” or “factor” in order to avoid the 40% tariff on the US term" » and « This process wasn’t as simple as it first appeared because Scribble is very well behaved and almost never barks. »</p><p>If you're even mildly interested in maths, this is a fun and accessible read. 😄 </p><p><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/QuantumComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>QuantumComputing</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/encryption" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>encryption</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/research" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>research</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/maths" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maths</span></a></p>

Bill Taroli :neurodiversity:<p>I think that any service proclaiming it encrypts and protects data should have to advertise they can also decrypt your data, anywhere the word “encrypt” or “encrypted” appears in their marketing or advertising.
