Recent Progress in Quantum Computing Relevant to Internet Security

Hilarie Orman, Purple Streak
Abstract

Quantum computers at some future date might be able to factor large numbers, and this poses a threat to some public key and key exchange systems in use today. This overview of recent progress in devising quantum algorithms and building quantum computing devices is meant to help technologists understand the difficult problems that quantum engineers are working on, where advances have been made, and how those things affect estimates of if and when large scale quantum computation might happen.
