How Quantum Computers Could Break the Internet with Nick Reese
from Structurally Sound - Institute for Homeland Security · host gat019
Current computers use binary code, a series of ones and zeroes that are arranged methodically in lines of code. They're entirely linear - everything is step by step by step, a one or a zero at a time. That's not the case for quantum computers, the "weird" new computational technology that could shred conventional encryption methods and turn digital infrastructure upside-down. This week, we explore quantum computing with Nick Reese, the co-founder of the Frontier Foundry who also serves on the Homeland Security Advisory Board at George Washington University. In addition to articles at the Frontier Foundry, you may also want to check out Quantum Insider or the Emerging Technology short courses available through IHS.
