Fundamental Algorithmic Research for Quantum Computing (FAR-QC): Project Overview.

Mikio Nakahara, Yoshitaka Sasaki

The open research center project Interdisciplinary fundamental research toward realization of a quantum computer has been supported by the Ministry of Education, Japan for five years. This is a collection of the research outcomes by the members engaged in the project. To make the presentation self-contained, it starts with an overview by Mikio Nakahara, which serves as a concise introduction to quantum information and quantum computing. Subsequent contributions include subjects from physics, chemistry, mathematics, and information science, reflecting upon the wide variety of scientists working under this project. These contributions introduce NMR quantum computing and related techniques, number theory and coding theory, quantum error correction, photosynthesis, non-classical correlations and entanglement, neutral atom quantum computer, among others. Each of contributions will serve as a short introduction to these cutting edge research fields.

This paper devoted to overview impact of quantum computing to modern cryptography and to analyze possible trends of cryptography development in the next years.Quantum computing became more popular these days and performance obtained using quantum computers promises to be extremely high.This trend causes to the security risks of current cryptographic algorithms usage without sufficient feasibility and analysis.It means that extremely high performance of quantum computers will be able to break some of existing cryptographic algorithm and produce the risk in security at all.To avoid such situation many cryptography specialists within whole world start research in the direction of so-called Post-quantum Cryptographic algorithms.Currently there are several projects performing research in this direction.Actuality of this topic is confirmed by many scientific papers in this direction.So, this paper contains overview of cryptography trends considering quantum computing coming in the nearest future.
