Quantum computing could transform medicine, cybersecurity, clean energy and countless other industries, with Ottawa playing a leading role in the technology’s development.
CTV’s Austin Lee reports that researchers at the University of Ottawa and local cybersecurity companies are helping prepare for the quantum era.
Experts say quantum computers will solve complex problems dramatically faster than today’s computers but could also threaten current encryption methods.
Ottawa-based companies are already developing quantum-safe cybersecurity technologies to protect future digital infrastructure.
