Quantum Supremacy
4. In 2019, Google achieved a significant milestone known as
“quantum supremacy.” Their quantum computer
successfully solved a problem that would have taken
classical computers thousands of years to complete. While
quantum supremacy is still in its infancy, it highlights the
immense potential of quantum computing.
Impact on Cryptography
Asymmetric Cryptography Vulnerability
5. Many encryption methods, such as RSA (Rivest-Shamir-
Adleman), rely on mathematical algorithms for secure
communication.
6. Shor’s algorithm, developed by Peter Shor, could
theoretically break asymmetric cryptography using
quantum computers.
7. RSA encryption, which relies on integer factoring, becomes
susceptible to quantum attacks.
8. Post-quantum cryptographic algorithms are being
researched to withstand quantum threats.
3.Cybersecurity
· Quantum-safe cryptography is crucial to protect sensitive
data.
16. NIST has identified quantum-resistant algorithms for
post-quantum cryptographic standards3.
17. Lattice-based and hash-based algorithms show
promise.
4.Financial Modeling
18. Portfolio optimization, risk assessment, and option
pricing benefit from quantum speedups.
19. Quantum annealing can solve complex financial
problems efficiently.
6.Traffic Optimization
22. Quantum algorithms can optimize traffic flow,
logistics, and transportation networks.
23. Solving large-scale optimization problems efficiently is
a quantum advantage.
Conclusion
Quantum computing holds immense promise for revolutionizing
information processing and encryption. While we are still in the
early stages, continued research and collaboration will pave the
way for a quantum-powered future.
