A perspective on the Development of Quantum Computers and the Security challenges

Abstract

The amount of data produced and processed every day is increasing exponentially, and reaching unthinkable levels. This amount of data has to be stored and processed by something. While the conventional computers are reaching their limits in data storage and processing, and this dictates the need for a nano sized transistors.Quantum computers can provide genius solution for that issue. Quantum computing is an emerging interdisciplinary field in information technology. This technology acquired its name, because it is based on quantum physics. In this article we present a new perspectiveonthe progress in the research efforts on quantum computing technology and their likelihood to replace the conventional computers and change the way we manipulate data and information. Also we claim this might be the first article in the region tackling quantum technology.
