Quantum-enhanced Cybersecurity: Protecting Against Quantum Threats

Obtaining gates for all pairs of qubits is especially challenging in this case, as well as being able to separately control each qubit. DiVincenzo has summarized the required properties of a physical system in order to build a quantum computer in five criteria (DiVincenzo, 2000). For convenience, they are given in Section 6 together with the specific schemes developed for rare earth-doped crystals. In this regard, Feynman extended the quantum-mechanical phenomena to the world of conventional computing. “Herbert’s erroneous paper was a spark that generated immense progress,” the physicist Asher Peres recalled, in 2003. Shor wears oval glasses, his belly… Read More

Quantum Device Security: Protecting Against Attacks

Examining organizational requirements and developing strategic process models that facilitate the integration of quantum devices into organizational structures, therefore, constitutes an increasingly important research direction. Their interdisciplinarity and proximity to practice make Information Systems researchers particularly suited to tackle this problem in a way that provides practitioners with a helpful strategic framework. Quantum decoherence, sometimes also referred to as quantum noise, is the process of interaction between the quantum system and the environment, leading to the loss of quantum information (Shor 1996). Quantum technology depends on cooling particles with helium to maintain their stability. However, the limited supply and high… Read More
