Quantum Computing and Quantum Communication
from This Does Not Compute · host Center for Strategic and International Studies
This podcast discusses how one technology could completely change the public debate about secure communications and surveillance – quantum computing. While quantum computing can be employed to crack encryption algorithms, quantum cryptography can be used to securely transmit information over communication networks. Listen in to find out which quantum application will advance faster as our guests discuss quantum computing and the security implications of quantum technologies. Our podcast guests are Ned Allen, Chief Scientist at Lockheed Martin; Seth Lloyd, Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Systems at MIT; and Evan Rolfe, an Associate at Avascent.
