Also the ability to crack any of our current encryption almost instantly...

This is not 2015

Quantum entanglement is different than quantum computing.

[–] oyo@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Not exactly; entanglement is a critical element of quantum computing for the encryption and decryption referenced.

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 0 points 6 days ago

Not what I understand. The encryption referenced is about having an immutably certain shared data source from entanglement that can be used as encryption/decryption input. Quantum computing does promise to crack current encryption technology in the future.
