The reason why quantum computers bring along so much buzz and excitement is that they’re fundamentally different. This is precisely where quantum computers differ. This 0 or 1 is called a ‘bit.’ A ‘bit’ can either be 0 or 1 at a given time (think of it as a simple on/off switch). All the data/information that our classical computers ingest, process, and store is in binary – 0s and 1s. (If you know what they are and how they work, you can skip this part.) What is a Quantum Computer? How does it work?Īs you’re reading this sentence right now on your computer or smartphone screen, you’d know that there’s a thing called the ‘binary system.’ All of our computers and other such devices have this system at its foundation. But when it comes to SSL and encryption, at first blush quantum computing looks like bad (not fake) news!īefore we get to the potential impact that quantum computers could have on encryption technologies, I’d like to take a moment tell you a bit about quantum computers. Granted, the term ‘change’ is subjective, and it could mean changes both positive and negative.
Quantum computers are inevitable, and they’re going to change our world in so many different ways. Bristlecone encompasses 72 qubits, surging ahead of IBM’s latest 50 qubit machine.
In the fascinating race for “quantum supremacy,” Google has just steered ahead of the competition with the unveiling of Bristlecone, its most potent quantum computer to date. In Everything Encryption Could powerful Quantum Computers make today’s encryption methods obsolete?
