Cryptography and the Quantum Problem

Header image by gabrielzschmitz, licensed under Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license. Cryptography is the cornerstone of modern digital security. From encrypted messaging to blockchain and secure web browsing, the invisible machinery of math keeps our data safe. But with the rise of quantum computing, the very foundation of today’s encryption methods faces a serious threat. Let’s explore what cryptography is, how it works, and why quantum computers could break it — unless we prepare now. ...

Starting a New Project

Header image by gabrielzschmitz, licensed under Creative Commons 4.0 Attribution license. Mathematics is an interconnected web of concepts, theorems, and proofs, each building upon others in intricate ways. But what if there were a structured, searchable way to navigate this vast landscape? That’s the idea behind my latest project: Axiom Nexus, or for short, AxioN. The Vision The goal is to create an online resource where users can: Search for mathematical concepts, theorems, definitions, and proofs. View relationships between topics using tags to get that distances. Export expressions and code in multiple formats (e.g., LaTeX, Unicode, etc). Get good references and explanations. In essence, this platform aims to be more than just a collection of definitions – it should serve as a dynamic tool for understanding mathematical structures and relationships. ...
