Businesses brace for quantum computing disruption by end of decade While business leaders expect quantum computing to play a significant role in industry by 2030, some experts don't believe the tech is going to be ready for production deployment in the near future. The findings, from a survey titled "2022 Quantum Readiness" commissioned by consultancy EY, refer to UK businesses, although it …
Quite long.
AES256 will be unbreakable under QC for at least another 30 years (assuming mainstream QC comes online tonight).
What QC does for bruteforce is it allows you to brute force an n-bit key in 2^(n/2) time rather than 2^n time.
That means AES128 would be breakable, because that would be 2^64 work which is doable (assuming large scale reliable QC is available).
But AES256 would still be completely unbreakable, becuase 2^128 is unbreakable today for at least another 30 years by any nation-state.
So we'll be fine. Don't worry.
Quantum computers require super cooled temperatures to operate and high levels of technical expertise. They are still experimental and have many obstacles to over come before they ever see even limited production or availability. Quantum physics is a strange beast that we have yet to come close to controlling. Looking well into 2100 if ever, 20 or 30 years is beyond optimistic. More in the realm of fantasy.
Without fail, every 5-10yrs there's a new 'must have tech that'll disrupt and advance the markets'
Anyone remember when 'digital' was the new buzz word at the end of the 90's... everything went 'digital' which in most cases, meant companies slapping a tiny LCD on the same old crap to display the same info that it did before... But was now 'DIGITAL' and could be sold for much more... Quite how this was disrupting and advancing the market... no one has yet figured out.
This last 5-6yrs it's been AI.... or to those of us with more than 2 brain cells... machine learning, a simple piece of software that attempts to 'guess' the correct answer... whilst artificial, it lacks actual intelligence... Much like the marketing twonks who push these buzz words.
Now we're moving on to 'quantum'
I'm bored... so very very bored of the bullshit.
Ya know what would actually peak my interest.... Honesty in advertising for once. Because all of this bullshit only serves one purpose... to turn me off buying stuff.
I remember that movie... from like 30yrs ago... He was in a mental health hospital with a load of others and got them to create 'honest advertisements' for his job... Probably saw it in the 90's at some point... never since.
I just have a memory for useless movie trivia
501? I thought that was a game of darts. But then again maybe that's how they do surveys. I see you just threw a triple 19, that'll be «that respondents were "almost unanimous" in their belief that quantum computing will create a moderate or high level of disruption for their own organization, industry sector, and the broader economy in the next five years.»
81% of these "business leaders" think that quantum computing is going to disrupt their business within 7 years? How?
It would be nice to know what businesses these "leaders" represent and why they think this will affect their particular businesses. i would also like to know why they think quantum computing will disrupt their businesses any more than advances in classical computing.
I can understand this being applicable to, say high-frequency trading, but even then you have other constraints, such as your comms speed. Meteorological forecasting, yes. Perhaps flow analysis, for F1 cars say, but seriously: build a model and stick it in a wind tunnel. Plus QC may not really offer any advantage to this analysis anyway.
For me, this is just another example of how little "business leaders" know about technology - and every large company is an IT company now, whether they understand that or not.

Such explains why it is so incredibly expensive to price in relation to the incurred future costs and ongoing liabilities suffered if one does not engage with effective and efficient defence forces and cyber sources more than just expert and experienced in the genre of special paravirtualised operations.
