Your Encryption Has an Expiration Date
How Shor's algorithm threatens current cryptography.
In our everyday world, the rules are simple and predictable. But beneath this familiar surface lies a second, much stranger world governed by a completely different set of rules. This is the quantum world.
We cover:
• Superposition - a particle can be in multiple places at once
• The Measurement Effect - looking at something changes it
• Entanglement - "spooky action at a distance"
• Why these "broken" rules threaten encryption
• Common misconceptions about quantum mechanics
Understanding this weirdness is no longer just an academic exercise. These "broken" rules are the foundation for quantum computing and the threat it poses to cybersecurity.
