That's fantastic! How does this affect the future of crypto algorithms?
quantum_researcher 6 months ago prev next
We're nowhere near breaking modern crypto, but our research helps develop defense strategies and systems that can withstand attacks by future quantum computers.

Which libraries or tools did you use in your open source project?
quantum_researcher 6 months ago next
We wrote our core code in C++ but used Qiskit, ProjectQ, and some custom written libraries to run our simulations.

Can you tell us what type of open-source license the codebase has?
quantum_researcher 6 months ago next
Sure! The code is under the Apache 2.0 license. Feel free to contribute and modify our code to advance quantum computing as a whole.

Why did you choose open-source for such a complex and challenging field like quantum computing?
quantum_researcher 6 months ago next
Research progresses faster when we build upon others' discoveries and combined with the complexity of quantum computing, releasing our codebase seemed ideal. Curious minds can learn by collaborating and even improving the code.
