\u201cPeople in the know will be like: \u2018oh s\u2014, it’s coming,\u2019\u201d says Bluvstein, who recently co-founded Oratomic, which aims to build the first useful quantum computer. \u201cThe world is currently, in my view, not prepared.\u201d<\/p>\n
The paper has not yet been peer-reviewed, and many of the assumptions that the authors make are \u201cuntested,\u201d says Jeff Thompson, an associate professor at Princeton and CEO of atomic quantum computing startup Logiqal. It’s \u201cvery easy\u201d to reduce the size of the computer \u201cif you just assume better qubits,\u201d Thompson adds.<\/p>\n
On March 25, the week before the publication of the Google and Caltech papers, Google announced<\/a> a timeline to secure its systems against quantum computers by 2029\u2014six years before<\/a> NIST\u2019s 2035 deadline.<\/p>\n AI leaders have repeatedly<\/a> promised<\/a> that AI would accelerate scientific progress. \u201cThe gains to quality of life from AI driving faster scientific progress \u2026 will be enormous,\u201d wrote<\/a> Sam Altman in 2025. Beyond cracking encryption protocols, quantum computing researchers hope the new technology could help make discoveries in physics, and design new drugs and materials. Someday, they may help run more powerful and efficient AI models. But according to Westerbaan, the development of a quantum computer before the transition to post-quantum encryption could lead to data leaks, extortion, and businesses being taken offline.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cPeople in the know will be like: \u2018oh s\u2014, it’s coming,\u2019\u201d says Bluvstein, who recently co-founded Oratomic, which…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571422,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[182,181,507,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-571421","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571421"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571421\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571422"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
