Quantum Computing: Dissecting How, Why and When
Right now, quantum computing technology is only somewhat helpful. But it has great potential. Here are some possible use cases, as well as a discussion of how close they are to reality.

Quantum computing wiil have the power to break existing data encryption, and the threat is right around the corner.
Someday, quantum computers will be powerful and reliable enough to render traditional encryption obsolete. But agencies can move forward with mitigation strategies today.
Quantum computing offers great promise but also great risk, and current encryption standards are especially vulnerable to the quantum threat. There are actions that agencies can take today, however, to safeguard their systems.
A quantum expert at the National Institute of Standards and Technology offers thoughts on where quantum computing is today and what impacts it will have.
There’s no easy way to explain quantum computing without getting deep into the kind of math that only quantum physicists understand. But here’s a brief overview that makes quantum computing understandable for the rest of us.
Quantum computing offers much potential, including the ability to break current encryption algorithms that protect data. The good news is that there are solutions.
