Apple prides itself on the security and privacy of its users, and now the company is bringing a new layer of protection to its iMessage users that will keep them safe from future attacks. The company is now preparing for attacks that can be carried out with quantum computers, which include an advanced level of encryption standard that we are yet to see in the mainstream industry. Apple’s new standard is called the PQ3 protocol, which is compatible with iMessage and will soon be rolled out to iPhone, iPad, Mac,…

IBM warns that Quantum Computing will lead to a catastrophic event in cybersecurity.

Nitin Misra,

An executive from International Business Machines Corp. has stated that governments and businesses are ill-equipped to handle the chaos that quantum computers will bring to cybersecurity by the end of the decade. Ana Paula Assis, IBM’s general manager of Europe, Middle East and Africa, expressed her concerns about the potential for a cybersecurity catastrophe caused by quantum technology during a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos. She firmly believes that this scenario is inevitable. Quantum computers, a new technology that greatly accelerates processing power by performing calculations…

Exploring the Enigma of “Very Small Things” through Quantum Computing

Jim Hendler

A computing revolution rooted in quantum mechanics, the branch of physics that explains the behavior of matter and energy at the atomic and subatomic level, is on the verge of transforming the world. A U.S. government scientist has described quantum science as the set of principles governing the behavior of extremely tiny entities. This field is full of surprises, even for experts. Richard Feynman, the late theoretical physicist, Nobel laureate and pioneer of quantum computing, described the field as “strange and mysterious to everyone—beginners and more experienced physicists alike” because…
