Quantum pioneers win Turing Award for encryption breakthrough

[Phil]

Charles H Bennett and Gilles Brassard have been recognised with the Turing Award for their foundational work on quantum cryptography. Their BB84 ideas helped create a path toward security based on physics rather than only mathematical difficulty. With Q Day concerns growing, this award feels very timely.

Well deserved, BB84 is one of the classic quantum ideas.

This is a good reminder that quantum is not only a threat to encryption.

[ScarletDaemon]

Physics based key exchange sounds like the future, but deployment is the hard part.

[Sequence87]

Nice to see quantum cryptography getting mainstream recognition.

Quantum will explode 💥 when it approaches

Well deserved, BB84 is one of the classic quantum ideas.

Same here. That is the thing isn't it.

Nice one.

I don't know about that. I know exactly what you mean.

Real world experience is always more useful than the theoretical answer.

Appreciate it.

[KeyboardWarrior47]

Not sure I am fully with you on that one. Ha, yeah that is about right.

The best outcome from a thread like this is not a definitive answer but a clearer idea of what questions to ask next.

Thanks for that.
