Quantum Algorithms for Cryptanalysis: Breaking Classical Encryption
Some types of anyons can be used to make what are called “topologically protected” qubits, which are stable against any small, local disturbances. The Wellcome Trust has selected the Cleveland Clinic-IBM Discovery Accelerator to develop proof-of-concept demonstrations of quantum computing for biologic and health applications through the Wellcome Leap Quantum for Bio Challenge. The complex mathematics behind these unsettled states of entangled ‘spinning coins’ can be plugged into special algorithms to make short work of problems that would take a classical computer a long time to work out… if they could ever calculate them at all.
Quantum algorithms take a… Read More
