Security In The Impending Age Of Quantum Computers

HelpNet Security, Thursday, November 9,2023

Quantum computing is poised to be one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. With global governments having collectively pledged more than $38 billion in public funds for quantum technologies and $2.1 billion of new private capital flowing to quantum companies in 2022, quantum technologies, particularly quantum computers, are rapidly moving from the lab to the commercial marketplace.

By leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics, quantum computers have the potential to perform certain computations exponentially faster than classical computers. From drug discovery and modeling chemical reactions to optimization problems and emissions reduction, quantum computers are poised to revolutionize various industries and accelerate global scientific progress.
