Quantum Computing and Quantum Cryptography
Quantum computing is an emerging field that has significant implications for classical and quantum cryptography. Quantum computers are not simply faster than classical computers, but offer a new model of computation that can solve certain problems more efficiently. Quantum cryptography, on the other hand, utilizes the principles of quantum mechanics to provide enhanced security and capabilities compared to classical cryptographic methods. Examples of these capabilities include quantum copy protection and quantum money, which exploit unique quantum phenomena to protect intellectual property and create unforgeable currency, respectively.
