Abandon Fear, uncertainty, and doubt. Don't worry, be happy! Don't return to the propaganda of Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt.
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Fear, uncertainty, and doubt
Fear, uncertainty, and doubt (FUD) is a manipulative propaganda tactic used in sales, marketing, public relations, politics, polling, and cults. FUD is generally a strategy to influence perception by disseminating negative and dubious or false information, and is a manifestation of the appeal to fear.
Quantum decoherence is just a theory, hence it should be also called: Quantum decoherence theory (do not omit the key word: Theory).
From Wikipedia: “Decoherence represents a challenge for the practical realization of quantum computers, since such quantum machines are expected to rely heavily on the undisturbed evolution of quantum coherences. Simply put, they require that the coherence of quantum states be preserved and that decoherence is 'managed', in order to actually perform quantum computation. The preservation of coherence, and mitigation of decoherence effects, are thus related to the theoretical concept of quantum error correction.”
In other words, “Quantum computers don’t exist yet!” (See Practical Quantum computer and Mikhail Dyakonov) They are just FUD and Silicon Valley propaganda.
Do I need to Quantum Panic?
“Don't Panic!” - Don't worry.
“To summarize, quantum computers are a huge deal” ( IF THEY WERE REAL!) “for cryptography if they are realized. What’s the take away here? Do you need to throw everything you’re doing and transition to post-quantum algorithms? Well, it’s not that simple.” (RWEncrpt 2021)
“Ask any expert and you’ll receive different kinds of answers. For some, it’s 5 to 50 years away; for others, it’ll NEVER happen. Michele Mosca, the director of the Institute for Quantum Computing, estimated “a 1/7 chance of code breaking RSA-2048 by 2026 and a 1/2 chance by 2031.”” (RWEncrpt 2021)
“Mikhail Dyakonov, a researcher at the CNRS in France, stated publicly “Could we ever learn to control the more than 10300 continuously variable parameters defining the quantum state of such a system? My answer is simple. No, never.”” (RWEncrpt 2021)
“While physicists, not cryptographers, know better, they can still be incentivized to hype” (see FUD and propaganda) “their own research in order to get funding. As I am no physicist, I will simply say that we should remain skeptical of extraordinary claims, while preparing for the worst. The question is not “Will it work?”; rather, it’s “Will it scale?”” (RWEncrpt 2021)
“There exist many challenges for scalable quantum computers (which can destroy cryptography) to become a reality; the biggest ones seem to be about the amount of quantum noise and quantum errors that is difficult to reduce or correct. Scott Aaronson, a computer scientist at the University of Texas, puts it as “You’re trying to build a ship that remains the same ship, even as every plank in it rots and has to be replaced.”” (RWEncrpt 2021)
