Be Very Afraid&#8221;<\/i><\/h6>\n<p>\n&#8220;The sun is shining, the world is spinning, and encryption-breaking quantum computers are on the threshold of reality. It\u2019s a scene from any number of science fiction novels, where the heroes face a ticking clock to thwart disaster.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s official. We are living in a science-fiction thriller, folks. Those crafty quantum computers are looming at the precipice of reality, ready to shatter our mundane encryption barriers!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you didn\u2019t think about that possibility during your morning cup of coffee? Don\u2019t worry, the groundbreaking tech-pundits are on top of it with their grim and glum predictions. It&#8217;s all in a doom-laden report from the National Academy of Sciences. These diligent chaps spent an entire year debating and prognosticating over a dark cup of &#8216;apocalypse soon&#8217;. All thanks to the so-called quantum computers!<\/p>\n<p>For the uninitiated, allow a brief detour into the world of quantum computing. It&#8217;s this magical place where typical laws of physics take a backseat, and the subatomic particles misbehave in ways you never thought they could. They&#8217;re a bit like supercharged wizards with digital wands, working overdrive to solve problems that would make a regular computer anxious.<\/p>\n<p>On a normal sunny day, the possibility of these blindingly wicked machines messing up our encryption systems shouldn&#8217;t be a cause for concern. But hey, you never know when an inherently tech-a-phobic Hollywood director might get enthused to recreate &#8216;The Day After Tomorrow&#8217; with a quantum twist!<\/p>\n<p>However, there&#8217;s a slight catch to this impending apocalypse. Quantum computers, like that stubborn puzzle that&#8217;s missing its crucial final piece, aren&#8217;t complete yet. There&#8217;s back-breaking work to be done, mind-boggling problems to iron out, and copious amounts of energy to pour into realising our worst encryption nightmares.<\/p>\n<p>Building a potent, cryptography-busting quantum computer is kind of like making your Grandma\u2019s secret casserole recipe without the recipe. It&#8217;s a Herculean task that even the brilliant minds at Google, IBM, and Intel are struggling to crack.<\/p>\n<p>Intriguingly, the report also reveals that no one really knows when the quantum computer will force us all into a keyboard-dependent, encryption-anarchic reality. So, for all those fretting about an imminent quantum-based doom, feel free to resume your daily routine of coffee chugging and cat gifs.<\/p>\n<p>Until that day comes, we hold onto the universal truth of the tech world: What can go wrong, will go wrong &#8211; eventually. But till then, let us kick back, say cheers to our quirky quantum friends, and wait for the sun to rise on another encryption-safe day.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/q-day-apocalypse-quantum-computers-encryption\/\">Read the original article here: https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/q-day-apocalypse-quantum-computers-encryption\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;In this seemingly sci-fi reality, quantum computers, like misbehaving subatomic- wizards, rehearse a \u2018threat-to-encryption\u2019 drama, their debut unknown; relax with coffee and cat gifs until then!&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2342,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","bwp-masonry-item","bwp-col-3"],"acf":[],"_wp_page_template":null,"_edit_lock":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thevoiceofworldcontrol.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
