How to Protect Your Digital Systems from the Quantum Apocalypse (.PDF Download)
The Quantum Apocalypse is coming. Sound scary? Well, it can be. While there’s much upside to the development of quantum computing, it also brings an incredible and potentially crippling risk to our digital systems. The National Institute for Standards and Technologies (NIST), big tech companies like IBM and Google, governments, and prominent programmers all contribute to the protocols and infrastructure advancement required for quantum computing.
Quantum computing represents much more than faster processing. While it’s true that quantum computers will process massive volumes of data at extraordinary speeds, the real breakthrough is that they utilize a fundamentally different approach to computing. This approach allows quantum computers to solve certain types of problems that currently take thousands of years in just seconds.
