Quantum computers: Do they impact cybersecurity?
What are quantum computers? In essence, they use qubits rather than classical bits, creating a powerful device that can solve unique problems and parse a multitude of information. The computers themselves work with principles such as entanglements, and ultimately linked qubits that share information instantly without a concern for distance. While these computers are still in the early stages, and require a special set of conditions to operate, it is crucial that we are aware not only of the potential that these devices have, but also how they will impact cybersecurity structures. Throughout their development, quantum computing has raised questions about how we secure and encrypt our data.
