Quantum computing is a new and emerging technology that threatens to break the encryption algorithms used in cybersecurity. Currently, the world’s most advanced computers are not capable of deciphering the mathematical algorithms used to protect sensitive data and communications. It could take thousands or even millions of years before the current technology breaks encrypted data.
Infleqtion unveiled SupercheQ: Quantum Advantage for Distributed Databases, a scientific advance that extends the power of quantum computation to new applications involving distributed data.
Edinburgh scientists are set to lead a major new research programme to expand the University’s world-leading expertise in quantum computing.
Vishnu Parasuraman, the Federal Hybrid Cloud Transformation OpenShift Offering Lead and Practice Lead at IBM, told attendees at the Red Hat Government Symposium on Nov. 9 that some quantum computing use cases for the Federal government are already well in focus, with potentially big payoffs as further use of the technology comes online.
