Rumbles of the Quantum Computing Revolution in Security


FRITZ LODGE 

Imagine a sensor that could instantly detect nuclear submarines deep underwater, a supercomputer that can break the strongest encryption in the blink of an eye, or a worldwide satellite network of theoretically unbreakable communications. These are just a few of the capabilities promised by quantum physics, a century-old science, which found that particles have unique and unexpected properties at the smallest scale. Scientists have long theorized that these properties could revolutionize computing, sensing and a host of other technologies.
