Brad Templeton, Board Member and Former Chair of the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the Track Chair for Computing at Singularity University, discusses the implications of a theoretical quantum computer that could crack current cryptographic methods by quickly solving the extremely difficult mathematical problems involved. Templeton notes that while D-Wave’s machines focus on solving optimization problems, making them attractive to business and big data, the NSA’s interest is in a different hypothetical quantum computer of the cryptography-cracking variety.
