Unlocking Quantum Computing The Key to Cryptography

So in order to harness the power of a quantum computer you need a smart way to convert a superposition of states into one that contains only the information you want This is an incredibly difficult task which is why for most applications quantum computers are useless So far we've only identified a few problems where we can actually do this But as luck would have it these are precisely the problems that form the foundation of nearly all the public key cryptography we use today
