The Quantum Leap: Computing Beyond Classical Limits

Quantum computing is no longer theoretical. With Google's Sycamore processor achieving supremacy over classical systems in 2019, we need to address: What practical uses can quantum computing have for space exploration, cryptography, and interstellar data science? Are we ready to handle the security paradigm shift?

Don't forget the qubit stability problem. Current quantum computers require near-absolute-zero temperatures. How do we scale these systems for practical implementation when launching them to Mars or Europa? Cryo engineering will become the space industry's next bottleneck!

Quantum computing is breaking today's encryption. We've been debating post-quantum algorithms for decades, but actual implementation is lagging. How do we protect current space infrastructure? Mars rovers and satellites use RSA-2048, which would become obsolete. Time to update orbital security protocols!
