the importance of quantum computing

By ben sim

quantum computing is the age of super computers, imagine computer processing speed like lightning that you have never seen before. i can think of the good side that it will make ransomware obsolete cos’ the time taken to decrypt the files locked on infected computers will be negligent. the downside is that cryptography, the method to lock and protect your files will also become useless. as for now, it will probably take a year on a standalone computer to decrypt a file, with quantum computers again, the time taken will probably be like currently, you opening a microsoft office document. by the time quantum computing takes shape, it will be good to mine for cryptocurrencies cos’ of the quantum computing speed, it will not take as long to mine one bitcoin as compare to now, probably less than half of the time used currently. go search on the internet for more resources on quantum computing if you are interested.
