There’s a step-change coming in digital systems. #Quantum computing will power humanity to new heights, says Accenture expert Tom Patterson, allowing us to probe the origins of the universe and solve some of our greatest challenges. But with these soaring capabilities come new levels of threat, as the immense power of #quantumcomputing undermines the encryption that supports digital systems. How do businesses protect themselves from this oncoming tidal wave? Patterson has 3 key takeaways. Accent

Google has achieved significant milestones in quantum computing with its advanced quantum processors, solving highly complex mathematical problems that would take classical supercomputers impractical amounts of time. Some physicists have speculated that certain quantum behaviors — such as superposition and entanglement — are consistent with interpretations like the “many-worlds” theory. However, quantum chip performance does not “prove” the existence of a multiverse. Instead, it demonstrates qua
