In the first episode of season 6 of Black Mirror, the show dives into the intriguing world of Quantum Computing. Joan is Awful is set in a world where quantum computers became strong enough to generate new realities and people who live in these worlds don’t even know they are in a simulation.
The magic behind quantum bits (qubits) and how they revolutionize traditional computing has become a fascinating topic to read about in the past decade.
Let’s discover how superposition and entanglement allow quantum computers to perform complex computations at speeds unachievable by classic computers. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or a curious beginner, it’s hard to not be fascinated by the potential of quantum supremacy. While Joan is Awful focuses on the virtual reality part of these devices, the fact that quantum computers might put online privacy in jeopardy is also a big point of concern.
A quantum computer can simply make millions of cryptographic keys in a matter of seconds until it finds one that can decrypt private information. With an approach called “store now, decrypt later”, even the encrypted information you have now can be decrypted when these devices become more reliable. So what do you think? Should Google and IBM spend billions of dollars developing quantum computers even if it puts online security in danger?
