Securing the Future by Archiving the Past: Ensuring Cultural Continuity in a Post-Quantum World
In today’s fast-paced digital world, safeguarding our cultural heritage is of paramount importance. As IT managers, archivists, and government officials, we are the custodians of this precious legacy. However, the rapidly evolving quantum computing technology poses an unprecedented challenge to our current digital backup systems. OpticalBackup stands as the only ultra-long-term medium unaffected by quantum threats, enabling us to protect and preserve our heritage for future generations.
Quantum Computing: A Growing Threat to Digital Backups
Quantum computing, a technology that leverages quantum mechanics to perform complex calculations at incredible speeds, is making significant strides. While this advancement holds immense potential for various industries, it also presents a significant risk to our existing digital backup systems. Quantum computers can crack the encryption codes that protect our digital data, leaving our cultural heritage vulnerable to loss or alteration [1](https://www.technologyreview.com/2019/09/24/132275/quantum-supremacy-from-google-not-so-fast-says-rival-ibm/).
Many industries are already feeling the effects of these advancements. In the finance, legal, and compliance sectors, for example, the threat of quantum computing has led to a surge in demand for quantum-safe encryption methods [2](https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/09/quantum-computing-could-put-data-at-risk-experts-warn.html). However, these solutions often fall short when it comes to long-term backup storage, as they still rely on digital platforms susceptible to quantum threats.
