Quantum computing may sound like a future technology, but the cybersecurity risk may already be here. In this episode of An Hour of Innovation podcast, Vit Lyoshin speaks with Dr. Shohini Ghose, quantum physicist, author and professor at Wilfrid Laurier University, about what quantum computing actually is, why governments and companies are racing to build it, and why it is not simply “a faster computer.” They explore qubits, superposition, entanglement, quantum algorithms, AI, cybersecurity, and why “Q Day” may not be a single future event, since encrypted data can be collected now and decrypted later.
