The Potential of Quantum Computing to

Revolutionize Information Processing and


Encryption
Introduction
1. Quantum computing is a cutting-edge field that leverages
the principles of quantum mechanics to perform
computations that classical computers cannot.
2. Classical computers use bits which can only be in states of
0 or 1 to process and store information,while quantum
computers use qubits, which can exist in multiple states
simultaneously due to the principles of quantum
mechanics.
3. This unique property enables quantum computers to
tackle complex problems exponentially faster than classical
counterparts.

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.

Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)


· Quantum cryptography offers secure key exchange using
qubits.
· QKD ensures information-theoretically secure
communication channels, resistant to eavesdropping.
