Is Quantum Computing the next disruptive wave? Probably, possibly... Google compared their current activities to the Wright Brothers taking their first flight... it is only the first step.

Quantum computing makes use of principles of quantum physics that particles can be in 2 places at the same time... where conventional computer bits can be on or off, Quoits can be both the same time. Did I lose you already? Well, the result is that a Quantum computer can do very complex calculations very quickly. This will have a massive impact on security, as it can potentially crack current encryption methods easily.

But, as well as using Quantum technology to crack encryption, you could also use it for quantum-encryption. But, as with the Wright Brothers, the technology for their first flight was not capable to support mass-holiday-migration during the summer months, and the same goes for Quantum Computers. We still have little while to go.

However, it is surprising with technology how little changes in 2 years, and how different the world looks after 10.
