I am a bit puzzled: governments and big corp are pouring indecent amounts of money in developing quantum computers, which main application, afaict, is to break cryptography.
...and this is defeated by changing our algorithms ?
Whats the use in developing quantum computers then?
- contact9879 3y agoThe use is all the other applications of quantum computers that aren't breaking cryptosystems
- jmprspret 3y agothree letter agencies have been collecting and harvesting encrypted communications for decades in the event that they can break the algorithms later (in this case that would mean quantum computers)
