Summary

Nutrition label

57% Informative

Quantum computers were just used to decipher part of the encryption we all rely on for protecting our banking info, private messages and more.

Instead of ones and zeros , they use quantum bits, aka qubits, which can be a one, a zero or both simultaneously (thanks, weird quantum physics) This allows them to process massive amounts of data at once.
