Full filling the quantum computing gap

 

In contrast to classical computers, which deal with 0 and 1 bits, quantum computers use ‘‘qubits‘‘ to represent 0 and 1 simultaneously, which dramatically speeds up computations.

This is encouraging news when it comes to problems that are theoretically solvable but computationally intensive beyond the capabilities of even modern classical computers and supercomputers.

The downside is that the increased processing power of quantum computers will allow criminals to bypass traditional cryptographic protocols that protect sensitive data, making the technology a significant cybersecurity threat.
