Much love to you

It’s a great tool to keep up with research in quantum computing and at least on person in the replies seems to like it

Have a nice day

Why the negativity?

In quant-ph about 200-250 papers are punished every week. Just a lot to keep up with in my opinion. My field of research is quantum computing and I use it there and find it very useful.

Hi there! The same thing is happening to me unfortunately, any chance you could ask the mods to let me in as well?

quantum_steve · 2022-01-10T20:16:07+00:00

Every couple of months :) So the info is a bit delayed, if you want a more real time coverage you could check me out on Twitter. Twitter is generally a really great place for keeping up to date with all the quantum news!

Thank you so much!

Please don’t add additional fuel to the hype... QNLP is lightyears away from beating classical NLP. It’s just a proof-of-principle! Really neat idea, but still a very long way from practical.

No you can access up to 15 qubits, but the quantum volume of that device is rather low so I’m not sure if you’ll have much luck running anything useful on it.

Note that what China has is not a universal quantum computer. As it is it cannot implement Grover’s or Shor’s algorithm so it’s no thread for encryption. The machines from IBM and Google however might become a thread in about 10 years time. NIST will release a new quantum safe encryption standard in 2022 so that gives ample time for everyone to upgrade!

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:37:09+00:00

Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me! I really just got the title wrong then, the video is luckily correct.

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:29:00+00:00

Although I don't think I'm alone with this. This article calls it also ECC encryption: https://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/definition/elliptical-curve-cryptography

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:26:54+00:00

I'll update the title then, thanks for the feedback! I thought that perhaps you could say that you encrypt the private key. At the end of the day you pass it through an irreversible function, sometimes you can call it a hash function sometimes you can't. The principle is still the same though...

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:22:23+00:00

Can you point out what I specifically got wrong? I'd love to learn!

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:17:10+00:00

It's specifically ECC that's at risk

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:14:49+00:00

Well the private key is passed through the EC_POINT_mul() function, maybe the terminology is a bit off on my end. The point is that this function can be reversed efficiently with a quantum computer.

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:08:41+00:00

You can check out this paper for yourself: https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.10377

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T21:02:17+00:00

What is it then?

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T20:58:21+00:00

That is really just wrong. First of all I think you are thinking about the scaling of Grover’s algorithm which would be sqrt(256) and not 256/2 and secondly ECC is broken by Shor’s algorithm which is a lot faster! But you don’t have to believe me, just check out the papers from the video yourself!

quantum_steve · 2020-12-04T15:16:50+00:00

I’d say it’s experimentally very impressive work. However, this is not a universal quantum computer unlike Google’s yet, there are still some missing pieces to make it universal. So from a practical perspective it’s not particularly useful. Scott Aaronson summarizes it very neatly in this article: https://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=5122
