Quantum computing - nothing to do

From CP Insider Google Will Pay You $5 Million to Figure Out What the Hell Quantum Computers Do[^] Apparently Google has quantum computers but can't figure out anything to do with them. You know - something that actually makes a few bucks.

So they have a solution in search of a problem. They'll probably figure out a way to get it involved with AI since that's all the rage these days.

From what I remember, the well known RSA algorithm in cryptography, first devised in the late 70's, was for a number of years, a solution in search of a problem.

Not sure that after 50 years we found the proper problem for RSA to solve... What we found that RSA is breakable - very depending on key size, and extremely slow on large keys...

The way it is used these days, speed isn't really an issue. RSA and other asymmetric ciphers are often used just to establish a secure symmetric-key session, Then the grunt work is often handed off, at least in part, to hardware. So what if you and I burn even a few seconds of CPU to set up a session where we can securely exchange megabytes or gigabytes. The same goes for, say, establishing an ssh terminal session.

I didn't really meant it as a bad or good thing, more like a fact... I always joke about RSA to be being as slow as the mediaeval implementation of it...

I've wondered about this off and on for years. At first it appeared quantum computing would open up new areas of research and capabilities but as quantum computers kept getting delayed more and more people figured out how to take quantum algorithms and convert them for classic Von Neuman architectures where they have outperformed, and in some cases by orders of magnitude, the previous algorithms that were being used. The upshot of this is that the realm of quantum computing algorithms has been greatly reduced with Shore's (sp) algorithm for encryption/decryption.

pr0n, no doubt.
