In the U.S. National Security Agency ( NSA ) are developing quantum supercomputer , able to crack almost any existing encryption systems. It is, in particular, the ciphers used to protect banking, medical and government records. This writes the Washington Post citing documents obtained from the ex-NSA employee Edward Snowden.
Snowden According to the documents, the creation of quantum machines that will run several times faster than conventional computers, is part of the program, codenamed “The penetration of hardened targets.” Its cost is $ 79.7 million. Most of the work on classified contracts carried out in the laboratory in College Park (Maryland).
Creating a quantum computer has long been a goal of the scientific community. Physics and programmers believed that the NSA progressed much further in this area, rather than specialists in civil laboratories, however, as the documents Snowden, this is not so.
Full quantum computer is yet hypothetical device, however limited machines already exist. In addition, developed the first high-level language for this type of computer, called Quipper. First, the idea of ??quantum computing was proposed by Russian scientist and mathematician Yuri Manin back in 1980, and a year later his U.S. counterpart Richard Feynman proposed the first model of a quantum computer.
A series of high-profile revelations began in June 2013, when Snowden gave the press information on large-scale Internet surveillance established by U.S. intelligence for Web users worldwide. NSA and CIA also tapped phones world leaders, particularly German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.
