As quantum computing progresses, concerns about its potential to compromise existing encryption methods, such as RSA, have surfaced. Experts predict the emergence of scaled, fault-tolerant quantum computers capable of breaking encryption by the end of the decade. In response, the focus is shifting towards quantum sensing as a potential solution. Quantum sensors could play a crucial role in fortifying cybersecurity measures, particularly in addressing vulnerabilities in GPS systems. This technology not only has implications for data security but also extends its applications to areas like medical diagnostics and autonomous robotics. While the impact of quantum computing remains uncertain, quantum sensing emerges as a pragmatic approach to addressing potential cryptographic challenges. (Source: Cointelegraph)
