A scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory recently asked an important question: “When full-fledged quantum computers arrive, will we be ready?” This scientist researches quantum information theory and his opinion piece for Scientific American magazine focused on quantum computing’s applications. But it’s a smart question when considering cybersecurity as well.
Quantum computing will fundamentally increase processing power, which could mean exciting advances in fields ranging from particle physics to machine learning to medical science but also increased data security risks.
