Quantum computing holds the potential to revolutionize fields where classical computers struggle, particularly in areas involving complex quantum systems, large-scale optimization, and cryptography. The power of quantum computing lies in its ability to leverage the principles of quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to perform certain types of calculations much more efficiently than classical computers.
Emerging Technology and Geopolitics of 5G
There are several reasons emerging technology is a highly competitive industry, notwithstanding the race for intellectual property that can...
Don’t let the “5G” in the title confuse you. This post is not only about the telcos’ core networks, but about the 5G security...
More than half of the world’s population lives in cities. The UN estimates that by 2050 that proportion will be 68% - more than...
Cryptographic systems rely on the unpredictability and randomness of numbers to secure data. In cryptography, the strength of encryption keys depends on their unpredictability. Unpredictable and truly random numbers—those that remain secure even against extensive computational resources and are completely unknown to adversaries—are among the most essential elements in cryptography and cybersecurity.
Quantum Artificial Intelligence (QAI) represents an emerging frontier where quantum computing meets artificial intelligence. This interdisciplinary field explores how quantum algorithms can enhance, accelerate, and expand the capabilities of conventional AI systems. Quantum computing's potential to process complex datasets exponentially faster than classical computers could revolutionize areas like machine learning, optimization, and pattern recognition.
The intricate giant chandelier of copper tubes, wires, and shielding often leaves people puzzled and curious. This image of a quantum computer is quite striking and unlike any classical computer we've seen before. This unique appearance is not just for show; it's a direct result of the specific technological requirements needed to operate quantum computers, particularly those based on superconducting qubits.
Fidelity in quantum computing measures the accuracy of quantum operations, including how effectively a quantum computer can perform calculations without errors. In quantum systems, noise and decoherence can degrade the coherence of quantum states, leading to errors and reduced computational accuracy. Errors are not just common; they're expected. Quantum states are delicate, easily disturbed by external factors like temperature fluctuations, electromagnetic fields, and even stray cosmic rays.
Getting smart about security in smart systems
Smart used to be something we called people or pets. It wasn't a term one would use to...
Cybersecurity strategies need to change in order to address the new issues that Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) bring into the equation. Although those issues have not yet reached crisis stage, signs are clear that they will need to be addressed – and soon – if cyberattackers are to be prevented from obtaining a decided advantage in the continuing arms race between hackers and those who keep organizations’ systems secure.
The human brain is programmed to keep us safe and secure. Yes, we are separated from the rest of the animal kingdom by our...
While Stuxnet is gone, the world now knows what can be accomplished through cyber-kinetic attacks.
As we approach the 10th anniversary of when Stuxnet was...
The attacker stepped out from behind a hedge in the upper-class suburban neighborhood, being careful to stay in the shadows. Across the street, the...
In one of those strange inversions of reason, The Internet of Things (IoT) arguably began before the Internet itself. In 1980, a thirsty graduate...
Stuxnet was the first true cyber-kinetic weapon, designed to cripple the Iranian – and perhaps also the North Korean – nuclear weapon programs. It...
