A Survey on Available Tools and Technologies Enabling Quantum Computing

Prateek Singh, R. Dasgupta, Anushka Singh +4 more

In the contemporary era of scientific and technical innovations, we are witnessing remarkable progress in the realm of quantum computing. Today’s phase is referred to as the second quantum revolution, characterized by ongoing research and progress in the hardware, software, and applications of quantum computers. While the theoretical foundations of quantum computing have been in place for decades, the practical tools and technologies that have emerged in recent years have catapulted this field from theory into reality. This paper provides a brief overview of the fundamental principles of quantum computing and explores the various technologies that support them. From quantum programming languages and simulators to quantum hardware platforms and software development kits, these tools have paved the way for groundbreaking research, experimentation, and the exploration of quantum’s boundless potential. Furthermore, it addresses the current developments, existing challenges, ongoing improvements, and future prospects in this dynamic field.

A Grover Search-Based Algorithm for the List Coloring Problem

Sayan Mukherjee

Graph coloring is a computationally difficult problem, and currently the best known classical algorithm for$k$-coloring of graphs on$n$vertices has runtimes$\Omega (2^n)$for$k\geq 5$. The list coloring problem asks the following more general question: given alistof available colors for each vertex in a graph, does it admit a proper coloring? We propose a hybrid classical-quantum algorithm based on Grover search 12 to quadratically speed up exhaustive search. Our algorithm loses in complexity to classical ones in specific restricted cases, but improves exhaustive search for cases, where the lists and graphs considered are arbitrary in nature.

Quantum Computing and Its Implications for Information Technology Security

Darshankumar Jaysukh Dhanani

With the arrival of fault-tolerant quantum computers, an existential threat has come to the cryptographic underpinnings of the security infrastructure in place for modern information technologies. Virtually all secure digital communication protocols used today are based on classical public-key cryptographic systems – RSA, Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) and Diffie-Hellman key exchange – that are susceptible to polynomial-time quantum attacks using Shor's algorithm. Symmetric cryptographic algorithms that are not broken are being effectively halved by Grover's algorithm, for example, AES. In this article, a complete and journal-standard systematic review of quantum computing and its implications in the field of information technology security is presented which includes 22 peer-reviewed publications from 2023-2025. The study covers the basics of quantum computing (qubits, superposition, entanglement and quantum gates), and how quantum computing specifically poses a threat to classical cryptography via algorithmic mechanisms. The three post-quantum cryptographic algorithms that were standardised by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in August 2024 (ML-KEM, FIPS 203; ML-DSA, FIPS 204; and SLH-DSA, FIPS 205) are compared based on their security assumptions, performance, and readiness for deployment. The practical limitations and the use of Quantum Key Distribution, (QKD), as a physics based alternative to the computational security assumptions are discussed. Results show that although mature PQ solutions are now available for most cryptographic applications, the migration challenge, including legacy system transitions, migration architecture, and governance, is significant and pressing as the ‘harvest now, decrypt later’ threat model is relevant and adversaries might be collecting encrypted data for quantum decryption. The impact for financial services, health care, government, cloud infrastructure and critical national infrastructure is discussed. Lastly, the researchers list key research areas: standardisation of quantum-safe protocols, hybrid PQC-QKD designs, light-weight PQC for constrained devices, and quantum-safe blockchain.
