ICT

using one does not require people to
suddenly learn quantum mechanics. Unlike
the traditional PC that expects its user
to have a modicum of troubleshooting
expertise, quantum will be far easier on
the surface, far more complex behind the
scenes, and maintained by people who
intrinsically understand the concept and
the technology. It will be much like today’s
F1 racing cars – you don’t have to be an
engineer or mechanic to drive the vehicle
to its limits around a track. One immediate
benefit to its speed and potential with
complexity, would be quantum’s ability
to create impenetrable encryption for
security purposes. In direct contrast to this
benefit, quantum’s ability is to decrypt
every piece of encryption the world
deploys today, in mere seconds. Like many
technologies, it’s just as powerful on both
sides of the coin.
Moving forward into a quantum future
remains a bit of guesswork. Yes, there
is incredible potential, yes businesses
will ultimately benefit, but we’re not yet
sure when this will happen or the full
ramifications of this technology. What
we do know is that it’s going to pivot
technology en masse, and that this tech
and its compute will almost certainly
change the world. Take heart if quantum
compute still seems a mystery to you...
most quantum scientists will tell you that if
you are confused by quantum, that
just means that you are starting to
understand it. n
