Cloud quantum computing could be just as secure

23 January 2012

Cloud computing is using (possibly renting) computing power elsewhere via the internet.

Quantum computing is using the seemingly-odd behaviour of quantum mechanics to do computations in parallel, thereby multiplying computing speeds.

Some dudes have written a paper about research they’re doing into whether quantum computers could do calculations in the cloud securely.

That is pretty seriously cool.
