Someone smarter than me, please go ahead and explain how this is going to be used to make life worse for all of us, probably in a deeply disturbing political reality that screams "the world Quinn from Sliders slid into and had to jump early because fuck this timeline"
It could actually be a good thing, since it opens up the possibility of unsnoopable channels of communication, using encryption that would be disrupted by any attempt to intercept it.
Also the ability to crack any of our current encryption almost instantly...
Quantum entanglement is different than quantum computing.
Not exactly; entanglement is a critical element of quantum computing for the encryption and decryption referenced.
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.
You sound quite miserable, maybe you should stop thinking like this
