A quick post on Chen’s algorithm

If you’re a normal person — that is, a person who doesn’t obsessively follow the latest cryptography news — you probably didn’t spend a lot of time on last week’s bombshell cryptography news. A new paper authored by Yilei Chen, “Quantum Algorithms for Lattice Problems“, has roiled the cryptography research community. The result is now being evaluated by experts in lattices and quantum algorithm design (and to be clear, I am not one!) but if it …
