> Ah, but with the right quantum computer, able to process information at speeds exponentially faster than today’s supercomputers? Suddenly, what seems uncrackable becomes child’s play, able to be broken in under 10 minutes. Cringe. Quantum computers are not "able to process information at speeds exponentially faster than today's supercomputers". They're able to solve a very specific subset of problems which are hard for classical computers. A very specific subset, called BQP, mostly having to do with finding prime factors. NP hard problems are probably uncrackable with quantum computers. |
