QUANTUM LEAP AND THE ENCRYPTION CHALLENGE.

The article focuses on the Quantum computers. Topics include uses the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, to perform their processes; views of Robert Young, director of the Lancaster Quantum Technology Centre, that a lot of the information that we exchange now is sensitive for a certain time in the future; and mentions that the Quantum key distribution (QKD) technology is only useful in cases of point-to-point communication for agreeing the encryption keys.
