“Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we're too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.” – Stephen Spielberg
Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, and others have been cautioning about the mysterious and mighty AI could do to humankind later on. Be that as it may, another innovation may represent a more approaching risk: quantum computing.
Quantum computing are straight out of sci-fi. For instance, let's take the "traveling salesman problem," where a businessperson needs to visit a particular arrangement of urban communities, each exclusive once, and come back to the primary city by the most proficient route conceivable. As the quantity of urban areas expands, the issue turns out to be exponentially intricate. It would take a conventional existing computer a very long time to process the most effective route between 22 urban communities, for instance. A quantum computer could do this inside minutes, potentially seconds.
Where does the Danger lie?
The possibility of quantum computers is to fundamentally make utilization of these guidelines of quantum mechanics to process data. It's entirely straightforward how this can be so intense. In traditional PCs, users give a specific info, it is placed in the PC, and an outcome is generated. Yet, in the event that our equipment was quantum mechanical, as opposed to simply consecutively giving some information and perusing out the appropriate responses, I could set up the PC enlist in the quantum superpositions of a wide range of sort of data sources. This at a certain time also means the amazing and unbelievable power of quantum computing and what it can do.
Advanced security frameworks are ensured with a standard encryption calculation called RSA. It works by discovering prime variables of huge numbers, a confound that should be unraveled. It is anything but difficult to lessen a modest number, for example, 15 to its prime elements (3 x 5), however factorizing numbers with a couple of hundred digits is to a great degree hard and could take days or months utilizing customary PCs. Be that as it may, some quantum PCs are taking a shot at these computations as well, as indicated by IEEE Spectrum. Quantum PCs might one be able to day adequately give a skeleton key to secret correspondences, financial balances, and watchword databases.
Envision the key issue when countries would discover have if their adversaries were the first to fabricate these. Those having the innovation would have the capacity to open each country's so-called secured locks. We don't know how much advance governments have made, however in May 2016, IBM amazed the world with a declaration that it was making accessible a 5-qubit quantum PC on which specialists could run calculations and analyses. It imagined that quantum processors of 50 to 100 qubits would be conceivable in the following decade. The concurrent registering limit of a quantum PC increments exponentially with the quantity of qubits accessible to it, so a 50-qubit PC would surpass the ability of the best supercomputers on the planet, giving it what analysts call "quantum supremacy."
Though it is still in nascent stage, but still it has amazing powers to create a massive storm in the existing world and literally take the security measures on its knees. The researchers and the security experts need to take it very seriously and look for an alternate measure to secure the security algorithm that are prevalent today because nothing will be safe with this much computing power which can solve a riddle within a second.
