Three potential use cases for the quantum internet
Secure city infrastructure
Secure city infrastructure
Quantum Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT – across things like city infrastructure and medical devices – is a security risk as tiny devices have minimal space for the hardware necessary to enable encryption. The quantum internet will remove the
need for on-device encryption and
improve security across billions of connected things.
Private big data crunching
Private big data crunching Cloud-based quantum computing
It’s already possible to utilize quantum computing power via classical networks. But with a quantum network, businesses could access a remote quantum computer in such a way that it could learn
absolutely nothing about the
computation it had performed.
Faster drug discovery
Faster drug discovery Distributed quantum computing
Interconnecting different quantum computing functions would exponentially increase computational capabilities. This would help mankind solve harder – highly complex problems – like modelling for
new drug discovery.
