Quantum Computing and Encryption
Quantum computing uses quantum mechanics to calculate faster and more efficiently than traditional computers. Unlike classical computers that rely on bit states of 0 or 1, quantum computers use qubits (quantum bits) that exist in a superposition state, simultaneously representing both 0 and 1. Qubits can be entangled, where qubits influence other qubits states. This structure allows quantum computers to perform multiple calculations simultaneously, enabling quantum computers to solve problems beyond the capability of today’s supercomputers.
Quantum encryption uses quantum mechanics to secure data transmission and key exchange. Quantum encryption leverages inherent properties of quantum mechanics, such as Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle to create unbreakable encryption methods, especially relevant as quantum computing has the power to render current conventional encryption methods obsolete.
