Quantum Computing and Cybersecurity’s Coming Reckoning

A classic computer could take thousands of years or be insufficient to solve various complex unknowns, says Dr. Nely Plata Cesar, in the article “A Journey to Quantum Computing”, published in the University Journal of the UAEMex. Computation, in conjunction with quantum mechanics, results in [...]
