Quantum day – 2023

Happy World Quantum Day 2023! The second one!

States, research universities and industries are very hard at work consolidating standards and frameworks for a quantum secured world. There is also a sense of urgency to minimise “harvest now, decrypt later” threats. In the next year, I would be following the changes and posting about them.

Apart from Post Quantum Cryptography (PQC), I am also interested in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) and how it affects secure communication network. Other subjects, I would dig more into are Quantum Steganography and how quantum computing affects identity management (Quantum Identities?).

Finally, by asking a question about the cooling system around Quantum Computers, a friend set me off to think about what security surrounds the actual machines – not just for the cooling system but also for the system that reads the data and any other classical systems surrounding the quantum computer itself.
