Researchers led by the University of Vienna’s Stefanie Barz have demonstrated the possibility of using quantum computing to unconditionally secure cloud computing. The scientists’ work, written up in the journal Science, essentially demonstrates double-blind cryptography. It consists of an optical implementation of blind quantum computing, Barz told TechNewsWorld. The researchers used lasers, optical fibers, lenses, crystals, mirrors and polarization analyzers to conduct the demo.
