GeeKay Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Apologies for asking such a basic question, but Google search seems incapable of addressing it correctly: Do (or will) quantum computers ever require password protection of their own? Or are they their own protection? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 That would depend on the needs and desires of the people with the device. There’s nothing inherent in a QC that makes them resistant to an unauthorized person using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genady Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 In addition to the above, QC is not a general-purpose computer and it supposed to operate under instructions from a classical computer. The latter of course should have all usual protections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeKay Posted September 7, 2023 Author Share Posted September 7, 2023 Thanks for that. So assuming for argument's sake that QCs were to become general purpose PCs at some point in the future, would it then be correct to assume they would indeed require a password. . . if only to protect them from being hacked into by other QCs?

Genady Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I think so. Some kind of a "key". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
