Quantum Conundrum
For some time now computer scientist have known of a looming issue with quantum computers. You see, there is need to encrypt data as it travels from one destination to the next typically this is not really an issue for use today as most applications and web services handle encryption without the user really needing to even know of its existence. Majority of the keys to decrypt data would take absolute ages to brute force on a typical computer. But, a quantum computer could crack the key before you could finish your morning coffee. This very clearly is a problem for the near future. As quantum computers could make their way into the hands of bad actors. Lots and lots of data could potentially be at risk. However there is a few current solutions to change the way encryption is handled. I find this to be rather fascinating as it gets into matrices and extreme convolutions to keep data safe and protected for prying eyes.

SNDL = Store now decrypt later, a phrase to remember and watch out for!
ReplyDeleteHmm... the convergence of Predicted and IBM is right before 2036, I wonder how accurate it may be?
I hope the foresight and efficacy of good overshadow those of bad :-)
Thank you for sharing this cool video ^_^
I used to watch the show "Quantum Leap" and it always fascinated me how quantum theory was presented. Wow, "it would be capable of undermining all widely-deployed public key algorithms."
ReplyDeleteThis is all above my pay grade but it just makes me want to take all of my money bury it and live off the grid. But who am I kidding, I'm sure paper currency will be obsolete soon as well and I need Target.
ReplyDeleteElijah, it's great to see your enthusiasm for the complex mathematical concepts involved in modern encryption techniques.You bring up an important point about the potential security threat posed by quantum computers and the need to update our encryption methods to protect sensitive data from malicious actors. It's crucial for us to stay ahead of the curve in terms of encryption technology to maintain data security in the future.
ReplyDeleteThat's so deep and interesting! Great to see you diving in to your interest. I always spend my spare time on watching talk show but not academic stuff. You are so cool!
ReplyDeleteI'm terrible when it comes to these concepts, I wish I had a better understanding of this, but it sounds like you have a lot of knowledge with quantum conundrum.
ReplyDeleteThe technology is already here we'll just have to wait until the more advanced quantum computers are available to be bought in the market. The new Condor processor can solve a range of problems, with more complex workloads than any existing chip. The project is used for exploring potential Quantum Advantages – calculations that work more efficiently on a quantum computer than on the world's best supercomputers. This is made possible by a dilution refrigerator larger than any previously built, for supercooling the various components to near absolute zero. Condor's architecture – along with similar breakthroughs by rivals such as Google and Intel – paves the way for large-scale quantum systems with millions of qubits in the 2030s.
