Code Breaking with Quantum Computing (UoM Chemistry 09)
Summary
TLDRThe Molecular Magnets Group at Manchester is pioneering the development of molecules for quantum computing and data storage. Utilizing synthetic chemistry, they've created a reproducible molecular building block. Quantum computing leverages the strange phenomena of quantum mechanics, where qubits can exist in multiple states simultaneously. Manchester's lab is equipped with advanced EPR spectroscopy to manipulate electron spins, creating molecules with unpaired electrons, which are crucial for quantum computing. The potential applications are vast, including unbreakable quantum cryptography and rapid data sorting. While quantum computers may not be here in the next five years, their impact on cryptography, banking, and scientific discovery is expected to be revolutionary within the next 25 years.
