Quantum Jumps in Cryptography and Computing

Explore the fascinating world of quantum computing and its implications for cryptography in this 33-minute conference talk by Dan Conn at Devoxx. Delve into the evolution of quantum computing from its inception in the 1980s to the recent 433-qubit IBM Osprey. Examine the new complexity classes and computational quirks unique to quantum computing, and discover the challenges and opportunities they present for developers. Critically analyze claims about quantum primacy and quantum advantage, and understand why recent assertions about breaking RSA-2048 with 372 qubits are likely overstated. Learn why implementing NIST Post Quantum Algorithms is crucial in the face of advancing quantum technology. Gain valuable insights into the current state and future potential of quantum computing in cryptography and beyond.
