Quantum computing poses a significant threat to modern cybersecurity, as it could potentially break public-key encryption, exposing sensitive online information. Countries like China and the USA are heavily investing in quantum research to enhance their technological capabilities, with China's extensive initiatives aiming for global dominance. Experts are working on developing quantum-resistant encryption algorithms to safeguard against potential quantum attacks.

10. Is Quantum
Computers
Threaten
Modern
Cryptography?
Every single piece of information that’s online would be wide open.That includes
all your messages, documents,photos, videos,bank and trading accountsand so
on. Your bank account too.
Most today’s cryptographic algorithmsare based on public-key encryption,which
is secure against attacksfrom modern attacks.
Quantum computing can simply break this securityby reversecomputingprivate
keys faster than a conventional computer.
security experts havebegun designingnew encryption algorithmsthat are
considered quantum-resistant that can’t be cracked as quicklyas conventional
algorithms.
The National Security Agency (NSA)acknowledged thequantum computing
threat Public Key Infrastructure(PKI)that is used extensively in securing the
world wideweb.

11. Why don’t we go quantum cryptography?
If quantum computingbecomes a reality,it will result in re-engineeringand
enhancementsin currentcryptographicsystems.
Experts are trying to figure out cryptographic mechanismsto transition to new
schemes that resist quantum attacks.
This transition should take place well before our systems become vulnerable to
attacks.
One should also note that this transition or migration would be a tough
problem to solve.

• July 2015 China State Council report outlined
• They intend for China to dominate the world’s economy with advanced
technology and industrial systems.
• Telecommunications is the key element of the strategy, with plans to go
from 37 percent of the global market to 82 percent by 2025.
• In 2016, China’s 13th Five Year Plan identified quantum computing as a
key strategic initiative, and authorized a quantum “megaproject” to that
end.
• China’s estimated $10 Billions in quantum initiatives commitments

17. USA Loves Quantum
U.S. budget for quantum research in 2016 was just $200 million
Trump administration signed the National Quantum Initiative Act in December of 2019,
providing $1.2 billion in quantum
An enormous amount of collaborative government,academic and corporate work is going
on to marry quantum computing and machine learning.
NASA, Stanford and Google have come together to create QuAIL, the Quantum and AI
Laboratory in Palo Alto. research funding over five years
Teams at places such as MIT and the University of Toronto are already busy writing machine
learning applications in the new computer languages developed for quantum.

19. Can India Make Quantum Computing A Reality In The
Near Future?
