What is quantum computing?
Quantum computers can process massive and complex datasets more efficiently than classical computers.
They use the fundamentals of quantum mechanics to speed up the process of solving complex computations. Often those computations incorporate a seemingly unlimited number of variables, and the potential applications span industries from genomics to finance.
IBM’s “Q” machine
Quantum computers are already reinventing aspects of cybersecurity through their ability to break codes and encrypt electronic communications. Some of the biggest players in tech — including Google, Microsoft, Intel, IBM, and Alibaba — are exploring quantum computing for better cybersecurity and more, a sign that the next big computing race is already underway.
