Quantum Computing is known as an intellectual brokerage of computing power which make it possible for computers to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks that would otherwise require centuries to achieve. This might bring the revolution in different industries. A quantum computer is, therefore, quite different from the traditional computer which employs the binary bits (0s and 1s) known as bits. It rather employs quantum bits, or qubits, which are allowed to exist in multiple states at once. Through the superposition phenomenon, quantum computers achieve the task despite their complexity being exactly the same as classical computers, but even the calculations are much faster than that.

Regarding one the many directions where quantum computing has been showing its amazing future performance is cryptography. These quantum devices are able to compute the exponentials exponentially faster than traditional computers. The latter poses a threat to modern encryption and ciphering methods. While they provide the opportunity of secure and unhackable quantum encryption methods, they also bring about the need for protecting data via quantum techniques needed in the quantum era.

Quantum computing has a larger potential also due to the fact that it can solve optimization problems that classical computers cannot do in traditional way. This skill could revolutionalize industries including drug discovery and financial modeling giving companies a bigger capacity to solve such problems quickly.

Despite some obstacles regarding fundraising for research into it, quantum computing has spurred major research companies and techs corporations to invest heavily in it recently. Along with the devices maturity, quantum computers would become widely accessible, bringing to the door new looks- like opportunities and materializing scenarios unthought-of before.
