IBM: Quantum computers will instantly crack any code

It has been known since the 1980s that quantum computers (QC) can easily multiply large numbers, which is the basis of public-key cryptography. In recent years, thanks to the emergence of new materials and advances in low-temperature physics, there has been a breakthrough in the field of QC. It is expected that powerful commercial QCs will appear in five years. For now, for example, IBM Q operates as a commercial system, on which more than 80 thousand developers launch their applications through a cloud interface.

A discussion about the role of QC in business morocco whatsapp data held in San Francisco with the participation of IBM Research CEO Arvind Krishna, Stanford University physics professor Catherine Mohler and JPMorgan Managing Director Bob Stolt, reports ZDNet.

Thanks to the advances in cybersecurity, in just over five years, sensitive data will be impossible to protect even with today's most powerful security tools, Krishna said. "Anyone who wants their data to be protected for a decade or more should be moving to alternative forms of encryption now," he said.

Mohler said people feel safe if they have done everything they are supposed to to protect their data. But QCs will change that. “I think it’s terrible,” she said.

According to Krishna, the type of encryption considered resistant to CK attacks is called lattice field. "The good news is that it is as effective as the encryption types currently in use, and it will not cost more," he said.

Not all categories of applications will benefit from moving to quantum computers. The ones that are most suited to this are those that can be divided into parallel processes, which will require new programming techniques. “We don’t yet know which applications will work best on quantum computers,” Krishna said. “A lot of new algorithms are needed.”
