Hope that makes sense

2019-10-28 15:16:44 UTC  

I'm pretty sure hackers could still make sense of encoded messages

2019-10-28 15:17:19 UTC  

yes during data transfers okay, but what about when the qubits arrive at their destination? can't they be hacked after the fact

2019-10-28 15:17:38 UTC  

It might decrease the amount of noobie hackers but the experienced ones will still get around it by probably hacking after it's all said in done lol

2019-10-28 15:18:29 UTC  

so, you're saying that if they attempt to spy on a qubit in transit, it will get destroyed

2019-10-28 15:18:54 UTC  

No

2019-10-28 15:19:13 UTC  

It will become corrupt for the person trying to intercept the data

2019-10-28 15:19:34 UTC  

Not destroyed

2019-10-28 15:20:16 UTC  

For the designated person that is supposed to receive the data, the data has not been affected.

2019-10-28 15:20:43 UTC  

so it's delicate quantum state is only effective to the spy that tries to intercept, but not the end user

2019-10-28 15:21:02 UTC  

Yes

2019-10-28 15:21:42 UTC  

you said earlier its quantum state would be immediately destroyed, that's why i said 'destroyed'

2019-10-28 15:23:07 UTC  

and what about the programming languages, won't all we have now become obsolete since we're still using binary?

2019-10-28 15:23:48 UTC  

Ex: Normally when you send someone an email, it would take a few mins. But with quantum computers, the email is sent live time. There would theoretically be no time window for a hacker to try and spy on the email. To the slight chance that they do end up spying on it, the email is corrupted and the designated receiver is notified about the spy.

2019-10-28 15:24:48 UTC  

Well qubits use a more complicated algorithm for 0’s, and 1’s

2019-10-28 15:26:19 UTC  

emails are also hacked by using methods of password interception.. how does quantum ensure your password can't stolen for example

2019-10-28 15:26:38 UTC  

Think of a normal bit as a d-pad on a controller, but with only the top and bottom buttons. Now think of a qubit as the joystick.

2019-10-28 15:27:14 UTC  

i understand the basic concept of a qubit

2019-10-28 15:27:23 UTC  

Well quantum would ensure that nobody could spy on you to get your data to get your password but nobody can stop you from giving others your password

2019-10-28 15:28:53 UTC  

what would happen to classical binary programming languages? would they all fall away

2019-10-28 15:30:18 UTC  

with quantum computing you are 100% safe from hackers or is there any exploit they can use

2019-10-28 15:30:48 UTC  

there was a great article in Popular mechanics while back called 'the schitzophrenic atom'. . it was all about future of quantum bits and how they access parallel realities/universes

2019-10-28 15:31:01 UTC  

i dont think its 100% safe, theres always some exploit hackers will find

2019-10-28 15:31:11 UTC  

No chance of hacking. They’d have to be smarter than the quantum computer to hack anything which is impossible

2019-10-28 15:31:56 UTC  

it's still possible, future advanced ai's would be able to do that

2019-10-28 15:31:58 UTC  

Okay I’ve gotta go into my gym class. I’ll check messages later. You can just @ me

2019-10-28 15:32:06 UTC  

what about quantum AI computers themselves, couldn't they be trained to hack other quantum computers

2019-10-28 15:35:13 UTC  

To claim it is impossible is a bad place to start lol

2019-10-28 15:35:21 UTC  

It will be possible one way or another

2019-10-28 15:35:37 UTC  

i remember when CD's first came out

2019-10-28 15:36:12 UTC  

they said it'd be impossible to record home data onto them

2019-10-28 15:36:22 UTC  

they also said they were 'indestructable'

2019-10-28 15:36:23 UTC  

lol

2019-10-28 15:37:53 UTC  

technology and science is what allows us to advance. there's never a stop sign, with quantum computing hackers will need to up their game

2019-10-28 15:38:42 UTC  

August 14, 1982

2019-10-28 15:39:22 UTC  

when the first commercial compact disc was produced

2019-10-28 15:39:44 UTC  

i didn't mean that far back,, meant while they were really popular during the early 90's

2019-10-28 15:40:30 UTC  

oh I remember them before then

2019-10-28 15:40:43 UTC  

^^;

2019-10-28 15:42:41 UTC  

interestingly the laser disc came out in 1978

2019-10-28 15:43:05 UTC  

wasn't that the same year cell phones started being used too?
