Quantum computing is the attempt to harness the laws of quantum mechanics to build incredibly powerful computers that can perform some incredibly demanding computational tasks, tasks so demanding that they would otherwise take the age of the universe to perform.
 
What are quantum computers good for? Experts have some ideas, like optimizing shipping logistics, breaking modern encryption methods, discovering a complex molecule for a drug, or designing fertilizers. Industry needs to make the computers more accessible to everybody, not just quantum physicists. What opportunities by harnessing quantum technology for next generation cryptography/security will enable a secure set of tools to re-establish the status quo, but also make things better? What are the security challenges and how do we protect privacy?
