Quantum Cryptography: The Locks and Keys of the Future

Companies around the world are always searching for new and better ways to protect their data. For this reason, encrypting code is very crucial for business to be successful. They must encrypt their data and source code in such a way so that no unauthorized person is able to access their data. Today, it is easier than ever for hackers to acquire valuable data since most of the companies around the world store their data in the cloud. While the cloud makes it cheaper and easier for companies to store their data, it also makes it easier for that information to end up in the wrong hands. To avoid this vulnerability, companies use a “key” which can decode the encryption protecting their code. Although encryption is safe, when put up against truly experienced or keen hackers, this key can be stolen or eventually deduced. One very innovative way to protect code and get around the current vulnerabilities involved with regular encryption is by using quantum cryptography. 

Quantum cryptography, also known as quantum encryption, is a new way to send keys for encryption at a quantum level. The more specific type of quantum cryptography we are talking about is quantum key distribution. Quantum key distribution works by having the quantum key encode and send the information needed to decode a message via light particles. Sending a message through light particles makes it virtually impossible for hackers to attain the encrypted data or the decryption key.

Sending information using light particles isn’t an easy task, but allow me to explain how it works. Let us say, for example, a key is being sent between two people using quantum cryptography. This key can be transferred using a stream of photons in one direction. Each of these photon particles can be represented as a number for data, either a 0 or a 1. While on their journey, these photons are vibrating in a certain matter which can be in any 360 degree direction, but to simplify quantum cryptography, we use four states: UP/DOWN, LEFT/RIGHT, UPLEFT/RIGHTDOWN and UPRIGHT/LEFTDOWN. The angle at which the particle vibrates is known as the polarization of the light particle. We then use a polarizer to send messages with these photons. A polarizer is basically a filter that permits certain photons to pass through it with the same vibration as before and lets others pass through in a changed state of the vibration. With this polarizer, a person can assign each photon a particular direction using numbers for the data. The photons containing the information then get sent out to the other person receiving the message. The receiver then uses a special type of decryption machine to figure out each direction of each photon. This will allow the person to then access the data and information without anyone else obtaining it since the photons are sent directly from person to person at the speed of light.

If quantum cryptography becomes a commercial product for business, it can transform the concept of security to a whole new level. Before explaining how quantum cryptography can work for other businesses, we have to understand how businesses currently protect their information. Historically, most companies used to set up warehouses where all their data would be stored in servers, which is a term called “in-house.” However, now, most start up businesses use the cloud to store their information as it is much cheaper and easier to manage. The bigger companies use a hybrid system as they store some information in the cloud and store some information in-house. This is more beneficial as it isn’t too costly, and the secure information gets protected in the warehouse. The problem with the cloud is that it is easier for that information to be stolen. With quantum cryptography, that is no longer a problem.

Quantum cryptography can be used to protect valuable information in the cloud at a vastly new level of security and dependability. The same message using light particles can be used to send information through the cloud or to protect a company’s source code. The message will be broken down into photons of light and delivered between two parties, so no one else is able to view it. This message can take the form of information for customers, employees, or whoever else the company wants to send it to. Information kept in the cloud is managed by third party companies like AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform, to name a few. This quantum cryptography solution can be used by these companies to make their clouds safer for other businesses to use.

This quantum cryptography solution to modern encryption vulnerability isn’t just a myth; there have already been tests and experiments on the idea of quantum cryptography. The first quantum transaction took place in 2004, when researchers in Vienna used entangled photons to transfer a 3,000-Euro deposit into their bank account. Quantum cryptography has already been experimented with, but it hasn’t been used to send data through the cloud yet.  According to quantum cryptographer Artur Ekert, a professor at the University of Oxford and director of the Centre for Quantum Technologies at the National University of Singapore,

There is still a way to go before it becomes a standard commercial proposition, but we are getting there faster than I expected.

It is very possible for this technology to become a commercial product to be used by all companies, but there’s still a significant amount of research and work to do before this becomes a widespread reality. 

Quantum cryptography could serve as a wonder for all businesses using the cloud. It protects their data in such a way which makes it almost impossible for someone to steal information they are not authorized to access.. Those who don’t own a business may not care about protecting businesses’ data, but most people work as employees for companies, which means that their job security also depends on the expansion of this technology.  Quantum cryptography/encryption benefits the businesses most, but it also benefits the employees working for these companies by ensuring that their jobs are not lost due to negligence with valuable information. 

It may only be a short time before companies start storing information on light particles, but for the time being, the cloud is our best option. I’m excited for a new day and age when even our clouds can be locked and protected!

27 Dimensional Quantum State Directly Measured: Taking a Peek at Schrödinger’s Cat

Schrodinger quantum state

Direct measurement of the quantum state allows us to peer into Schrödinger’s box. whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com

For the first time ever scientists from the University of Rochester have directly measured the orbital-angular-momentum of photons in a high-dimensional quantum state. The state consists of 27 dimensions to be exact. In actuality this is probably far lamer than it sounds, right? Nope, it’s just as mind blowing as you would imagine.

Spatial dimensions are more numerous than the 3 you are perceiving right now.

It’s amazing enough that we have the ability to even theorize a 27-dimensional quantum state, but now we can directly measure one. Our 3-dimensional brains use our eyes to see the world in two dimensions. 3-dimensional sight is actually just a trick evolution has taught us. Despite living in a world defined by length, width, and height, the universe itself actually exists in many more spatial dimensions, possibly an infinite number.

High dimensionality is the stuff of quantum physics (physics of the smallest scales of the universe) since these other dimensions are only apparent at incredibly tiny scales.  Although scientists have never physically perceived another dimension of space, extra dimensions are a mathematical inevitability when describing the quantum universe.

Quantum physicists observe a quantum system’s current state and behavior (known as a wavefunction) and attempt to derive the original quantum state as well as the probable future states of the system. The problem is that the act of observation itself alters the state of a quantum system. This is known as the observer effect. The observer is just as much part of the system as what is being observed. Very weird.  Additionally, due to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, which states that the more you know about one aspect of a system, the less you will know about another aspect (especially with regards to position vs. momentum), it is impossible to attain accurate data about the entirety of any given system. That is, before the advent of direct measurement.

Before direct measurement, quantum physicists used quantum tomography to derive the various states of a quantum system. Quantum tomography is the process of reconstructing the original quantum state of a wavefunction using bits and pieces of impartial data one bit at a time. It involves taking many measurements of an identical quantum state and comparing the changes made by observation in each one to narrow down the source quantum state. This is like creating a 3d image out of many 2d images. By directly measuring a quantum state, physicists are able to reconstruct the source quantum state without any post-processing. This dramatically speeds up the process and could eventually lead to breakthroughs in the feasibility of quantum computing.

The idea of direct measurement seems to contradict everything we know about quantum physics. If we directly measure something, our act of taking a measurement should alter the system in some way, thus skewing the results and totally collapsing the quantum state. Quantum physicists may not be known for their social prowess, but one thing they are known for is being very clever.  Knowing that a direct measurement will collapse a quantum state, physicists take a measurement so gentle that the quantum state is only slightly altered; it doesn’t ever completely collapse.

This “weak” measurement is then followed by a “strong” measurement of another unmeasured variable in the system. This sequence of weak and strong measurements is repeated on many identical quantum systems until the source wavefunction is precisely known. By being less sure about their intended measurement, physicists can take more precise measurements of peripheral variables in the measured field. Remember, the more you know about A, the less you know about B, and vice versa. They measured B more precisely by knowing less about A. It’s a paradoxical but effective method.

The direct measurement technique was first developed in 2011 by scientists at the National Research Council Canada, who used it to determine the position and momentum of photons. This study is the first major breakthrough in the direct measurement of a quantum state wavefunctions since 2011.

According to lead author Dr. Mehul Malik, a post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Vienna,

It is sort of like peeking into the box to see if Schrödinger’s cat is alive, without fully opening the box. The weak measurement is essentially a bad measurement, which leaves you mostly uncertain about whether the cat is alive or dead. It does, however, give partial information on the health of the cat, which when repeated many times can lead to near certain information as to whether the cat is alive or dead.

New Plausible Theory of Black Holes: Gateways to Other Universes

 

According to traditional physics, once you go far enough into a black hole, traditional physics simply ceases to be.  Any meaningful equation breaks down into nonsense. Insanity. Cosmic nincompoopery! Well, not anymore…

Einstein’s theory of general relativity states that if a person were to fall into a black hole they’d be shredded to the atomic level by a process called spaghettification, described as being stretched into an infinitely long strand of matter and energy by infinitely strong gravity.  This infinitely strong gravity is due to a singularity at the ‘end’ of the black hole, an infinitely dense area with zero volume.  A singularity is also used to describe the Big Bang.

There is a problem though; conventional physics cannot describe what occurs at a singularity point, so talking about the beginning of time or the core of a black hole has always been one-pointed, but pointless. Then quantum mechanics appeared.

By using the theory of loop quantum gravity, a merger of quantum mechanics and general relativity which describes space-time as a web of indivisible chunks about 10-35 meters in size, physicists have come up with a practical way to describe what occurs at the singularity point; the singularity isn’t there. 

There is no singularity. Gravity still increases as you get pulled into the black hole, but eventually it decreases, and you come out the other end. Although theories have postulated this idea before, the problem was that the singularity could never be bypassed. This is incredibly revolutionary because modern day physics has always taken the idea of a singularity for granted.  The universe had forever been filled with them; all of time and space began as a singularity.

You are probably wondering what this means for you and me, what relevance this all has.  This opens the doors for even more science fiction to become science reality (consider: just about every piece of technology that exists today was written about as science fiction at one point).

According to the new theory, black holes are more likely doors to other universes, or incredibly distant areas of our own universe, or both.  Even more amazingly, using loop quantum gravity theory, if you were to rewind the big bang you wouldn’t be left with an infinitely dense point of mass and energy, you would cross a quantum bridge into another, older universe.

This also helps explain what happens to information that approaches a black hole.  In a black hole with a singularity, the information would be lost forever as the black hole eventually evaporates after hundreds of trillions of years (give or take several hundred trillion years). As Jorge Pullin, lead researcher on the study at Louisiana State University, points out:

Information doesn’t disappear, it leaks out.

The infinite universe just became infinitely more infinite.

In 1610 God Was a Binary, Fractal, Self-Replicating Algorithm

Jakob Boehme, a simple shoemaker born in the 15th century, suddenly realized one day that “God was a binary, fractal, self-replicating algorithm and that the universe was a genetic matrix resulting from the existential tension created by His desire for self-knowledge.”

Talk about incredible! A man whose education consisted of the Bible and proper sole curvature came up with a postulation that unifies religion and contemporary quantum theories of the universe during a stroke of intuition. The man has gone on to inspire such minds as Friedrich Nietzsche, to Georg Willhelm, to Philip K. Dick to Adam Weishaupt.

His work integrates, involves, and unifies kabbalah, alchemy, theosophy, sacred geometry, yin and yang, cosmology, and enlightenment.

A mind far ahead of it’s time!
