A classic hacking technique works on some quantum computers

A quantum computer at IBM IBM The laws of quantum mechanics make it impossible to copy quantum information, but that doesn’t mean quantum computers are unhackable. Two independent teams of researchers have now devised methods for disrupting calculations on quantum computers. They both rely a method used to hack traditional computers called a row-hammer attack….
