An example of the methodology in crypto is with the creation of a new wallet that generates a public address and private key. <\/p>\n<p>Quantum security is seen as a major issue in the blockchain and crypto sector and it is widely believed that powerful quantum computers will one day become advanced enough to hack current cryptography. That could result in the theft of billions of dollars worth of digital assets, or bring blockchain tech to a grinding halt. There are numerous projects devoted to developing quantum proof cryptography and blockchains. <\/p>\n<p>Sarma currently serves as the director of the University of Maryland\u2019s condensed matter theory center and outlined his thoughts earlier this week via an<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2022\/03\/28\/1048355\/quantum-computing-has-a-hype-problem\/\"> article<\/a> for Technology Review. <\/p>\n<p>The physicist said that he was \u201cdisturbed by some of the quantum computing hype I see these days\u201d and liked the current state of the technology to \u201ca tremendous scientific achievement\u201d but one which takes us \u201cno closer to having a quantum computer that can solve a problem that anybody cares about.\u201d <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIt is akin to trying to make today\u2019s best smartphones using vacuum tubes from the early 1900s.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The physicist highlighted that prime factorization in which a \u201cquantum computer can solve the hard problem of finding the prime factors of large numbers exponentially faster than all classical schemes\u201d and crack cryptography is currently well beyond the grasp of current computing power. <\/p>\n<p>Sarma pointed to \u201cqubits\u201d which are quantum objects like an electron or photon that enable the enhanced capabilities of quantum computer:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe most advanced quantum computers today have dozens of decohering (or \u201cnoisy\u201d) physical qubits. Building a quantum computer that could crack RSA codes out of such components would require many millions if not billions of qubits.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cOnly tens of thousands of these would be used for computation \u2014 so-called logical qubits; the rest would be needed for error correction, compensating for decoherence,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><strong>Polygon ID platform seeks to enhance self-agency and privacy in the Web3 space<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Sarma was hesitant to sound the cryptographic alarm bells, he did note that a real quantum computer will \u201chave <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>lications unimaginable today\u201d in the same manner in which nobody could predict that the first transistor made in 1947 would lead to the laptops and smartphones of this era. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am all for hope and am a big believer in quantum computing as a potentially disruptive technology, but to claim that it would start producing millions of dollars of profit for real companies selling services or products in the near future is very perplexing to me,\u201d he said, <\/p>\n<p>Despite the danger being some way off, numerous firms are already making efforts to shore up quantum security.
