An Introduction to Post-Quantum Public Key Cryptography
Though quantum computers are in their infancy, their further development could make them commercially available. When that day comes, all public and private keys will be exposed to quantum threats, a massive risk for every organization. Understanding quantum computing growth and the impact it would have on cryptography is key for everyone, irrespective of their role.

Microsoft and the State of Quantum: Q&A with Mariia Mykhailova
Quantum computing can be used to solve large compute problems on small data in areas such as chemistry and materials science. InfoQ interviewed Mariia Mykhailova, a senior software engineer in the Quantum Systems group at Microsoft, to better understand quantum computing, quantum software development, and Microsoft's latest efforts towards this area.

Quantum Acceleration in 2020
This article will provide an overview of recent advancements in Quantum Computing on both the hardware and software fronts. Along the way we’ll share the results of our own research and development in this field. We will also sketch out some of the steps that organizations can take now to be “quantum ready.”

Q&A on the Book The Driver in the Driverless Car
The book The Driver in the Driverless Car by Vivek Wadhwa and Alex Salkever explores how technology is changing faster and faster, and what impact that can have on the future of our society. It aims to help frame decisions and thinking about rapidly developing technologies. Salkever and Wadhwa cover a wide variety of technologies, including robotics, AI, quantum computing, and driverless cars.

Cats, Qubits, and Teleportation: The Spooky World of Quantum Computation Applications (Part 3)
The same factors which make quantum theory so startling also make quantum computers very difficult to implement in practice: quantum phenomena don't manifest themselves in everyday life. Given the cost, size, and physical delicacy of quantum computers, they're a perfect fit for the 'pay per use' cloud consumption model.

Cats, Qubits, and Teleportation: The Spooky World of Quantum Algorithms (Part 2)
Quantum information theory really took off once people noticed that the computational complexity of quantum systems was actually a computational capacity, which could be applied to other problems, such as factorization, which is used within public key cryptography. This article explores quantum algorithms and their applicability.

Cats, Qubits, and Teleportation: The Spooky World of Quantum Computation (Part One)
By the time most of us reach adulthood, we know a few basic truths: cats cannot be simultaneously alive and dead; objects at opposite ends of the universe can’t affect each other; and computers operate on 0s and 1s, and that’s the most fundamental unit of information. The premise of quantum computation is that these truths are partially wrong.
