As Jason Bloomberg of Forbes Magazine said, “quantum computing can – in theory – defeat all modern encryption. From secure banking transactions 
to confidential correspondence to, yes, Blockchain – quantum computing can crack them all quickly and simply.” A tool this powerful, while it could mean a world that’s faster, more communicative and better connected than ever, could also spell disaster if applied maliciously. While “post-quantum cryptography” that would resist even these new computers is in development, widespread quantum processing technology could allow the user to compromise national economies, defense systems, classified government secrets, civilian databases and, in short, any other information encrypted to modern standards.
