The New Math of Quantum Cryptography

wired.com Ben Brubaker 2025-10-17 11:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Hard problems are usually not a welcome sight. But cryptographers love them. That’s because certain hard math problems underpin the security of modern encryption. Any clever trick for solving them will doom most forms of cryptography. Several years ago, researchers found a radically new approach to encryption that lacks this potential weak spot. The approach exploits the peculiar features of quantum physics. But unlike earlier qua

Blogs used to be very different. 06 Sep, 2025 I saw someone earlier post about how intrusive it felt to read a personal blog post. They made a point that folks like them who have grown up on short form microblogging like Twitter and Tumblr have a big leap to make when reading longer form blogposts. Not sure how many folks have that same issue but from the blogs I've read in the last decade, there has been a huge shift in content. Ten years ago if you were blogging on Tumblr or Wordpress you w

An Anatomically Correct Replica of the Human Brain, Knitted by a Psychiatrist

Our brains dictate our every move. They’re the ones who spur us to study hard, so we can make something of ourselves, in order to better our communities. They name our babies, choose our clothes, decide what we’re hungry for. They make and break laws, organize protests, fritter away hours on social media, and give us the green light to binge watch a bunch of dumb shows when we could be reading War and Peace.

A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry

We first turn to Adolf Meyer, the most influential psychiatrist in the US over the first 3rd of the 20th century [27]. It should be recalled that until World War II, American psychiatry was a rather small profession, largely composed of superintendents of mental hospitals who largely had a biologically orientation to their work. In 1907, while the director of the New York Psychiatric Institute, Meyer wrote about his concerns of the narrow views that US physicians would typically take in their ap

A Sitting President Is Making Billions Off Crypto, Which Feels Like a Bit of an Outrage

Before his first presidential bid, TV personality and real estate tycoon Donald Trump was doing just fine, financially speaking. The benefactor of a $5.5 million trust fund, adjusted for inflation — not to mention a $20 million inheritance from his father, split with his siblings — Trump's actual net worth has always been a hazy target for estimates. As he left office in 2021, Trump's net worth seemed to be around $2.3 billion, according to Forbes, thanks to legal fallout and a real estate port

But “anonymous recursion” means the language has some special mechanism by which the function can refer to itself without having to explicitly introduce a name.
