NorthWestWindWhat will the next bubble be?
jordanlundQuantum bubble, next after AI.
frankYeah no doubt. It can be pitched as solving all the world’s problems immediately, and fear mongered as “breaking all security instantly”. There’s no defined end product yet, so the goalposts can move.
Like AI, it can be a test of the debt market more than of tech
It can be marketed that way, but mathematically, a LOT of encryption that’s used is already “quantum proof”.
Of course nothing is perfect, but we’re pretty confident that the existence of quantum computers won’t break the internet.
Signal Protocol and Post-Quantum Ratchets
We are excited to announce a significant advancement in the security of the Signal Protocol: the introduction of the Sparse Post Quantum Ratchet (SPQR). This new ratchet enhances the Signal Protocol’s resilience against future quantum computing threats while maintaining our existing security guar...
Oh yeah, to be clear, it’ll break incredibly old and weak encryption, which is already not that hard to break.
I think quantum will have some cool specific use cases in science and math modeling, but will be over hyped like the AI bubble as a total game changer.
