The Second Quantum Revolution
- jruohonen 3y agoSure: "Data encrypted today could be stored for an unlimited amount of time until a quantum computer powerful enough to decrypt it is available. This is known as the ‘store now, decrypt later’ approach (also known as ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ or ‘retrospective decryption’), triggering the need to consider how long encrypted data needs to stay confidential." And with admirable honesty: "At the same time, law enforcement agencies may also benefit from new possibilities in the field of decryption to fight against serious organised crime and terrorism."
- dustingetz 3y agoi have an honest question, and as context i am about 10 hours into studying the schrödinger eqn for the first time (as in deriving the math). How do we know this QC stuff works? AFAICT no evidence of quantum supremacy has been experimentally observed, and all of QM sits on top of the measurement problem, which has led to subjective interpretation of what the abstract results mean.
