Utilizations of Quantum Computing
Cryptography and Security
Cryptography has the potential to be improved and disrupted by quantum computing. The development of quantum-safe encryption techniques, such as quantum key distribution (QKD), can help make encryption stronger even while it has the potential to break many of the current encryption schemes. In contrast to RSA encryption, quantum encryption definitely has the edge on recency but is similar to many things - there are risks associated with it. In order to produce uncrackable cryptographic keys, QKD applies the laws of quantum mechanics, ensuring secure communication even in the presence of quantum computers, proving it's desirability.
