Oct 29, 2019 · Google and NASA have just announced that they have achieved 'quantum supremacy'. That is the ability of quantum computers to perform certain tasks that a classical computer simply cannot do in a reasonable timeframe. Their quantum computer solved a problem in 200 seconds that would take the world’s fastest supercomputer 10,000 years.

Apr 23, 2024 · For example, in 2019, a quantum computer built by Google took just over three minutes to solve a computation that would have taken the world’s fastest supercomputer 10,000 years to complete. With that level of processing power available, it’s not difficult to see that quantum computers have the potential to bypass the encryption locks that ...

May 21, 2024 · The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has published the results of the first phase of Project Leap, advancing quantum-safe cryptography research for financial systems. Meanwhile, Project Tourbillon is another BIS initiative exploring the replacement of RSA encryption methods with quantum-safe, lattice-based schemes in the CBDC context.

Feb 13, 2025 · These networks incorporate cutting-edge quantum encryption along with automated collision avoidance systems and active debris mitigation technologies. Advanced constellations will feature on-orbit servicing capabilities, allowing for hardware and software updates without requiring satellite replacement – think of it as the ultimate tech ...

Jul 31, 2024 · A report highlighted gaps in NASA's current cybersecurity, only protecting operational spacecraft. The Act seeks to prevent mission failures and data theft by ensuring robust protections early on. The US Act could set a global benchmark, enhancing space mission security worldwide.

Oct 22, 2024 · Quantum computing creates enormous economic and scientific opportunities, given its ability to significantly boost computing power. However, quantum computing – which employs quantum mechanics to solve some complex computing problems – can also render some of the current encryption algorithms obsolete, posing serious cybersecurity risks.

Sep 13, 2022 · This report by the Global Future Council on Quantum Computing aims to provide clear, concise and neutral assessment of the current state of the quantum computing industry, advising business leaders and policy-makers on actions to be taken now to prepare for the technology once it matures.

Jul 11, 2023 · A quantum data centre is an important element of such an infrastructure, exploiting the synergies between classical and quantum computers. The quantum systems at the new IBM European quantum data centre will all be powered by a minimum of 127 qubits, to enable scientific progress and use quantum as a new tool of discovery with European ...

Jun 23, 2020 · The sheer calculating ability of a sufficiently powerful and error-corrected quantum computer means that public key cryptography is "destined to fail", and would put the technology used to protect many of today’s fundamental digital systems and activities at risk. The key exchanges, encryption and digital signatures that protect financial ...

Jul 3, 2024 · The World Economic Forum’s Quantum Economy Network aims to raise awareness and understanding of quantum technology and has created a blueprint for building a quantum economy. “Quantum technology will permeate and impact every key sector of the economy and take us into a period likely to be referred to as the post-quantum era.
