In this episode, we’re continuing to talk about quantum applications. You may have heard that quantum computer will break all passwords and security on the Internet...is that true?! How would that work? Tai-Danae and Adam are joined again by physicist and SandboxAQ's VP of engineering, Stefan Leichenauer to discuss how most encryption works online right now, and how quantum computers will affect that.
