Part 4/10:
Quantum computing stands as one of technology's most exciting breakthroughs. Unlike traditional computers that employ binary bits, quantum computers utilize qubits, which allow them to process vast troves of data at astonishing speeds. They can solve intricate problems in minutes that traditional computers might take millennia to resolve.
However, this quantum leap carries risks; the encryption systems we currently rely on could be compromised by quantum computers. It underscores the need for developing quantum-resistant encryption methods, maintaining a cautious yet ambitious approach to this emerging technology.
