Quantum Perspectives: Communication

Communication networks are an essential part of our world today, used in transactions from banking to education, global business exchanges to defence.

What happens when our private information is no longer private? Powerful quantum computers will have the ability to crack the encryption of public keys that we currently use to secure our data, putting our privacy at risk.
