With the advent of quantum computing that puts today's computing power to shame will come the "quantum hack". Switzerland's ID Quantique says its can protect data from the coming threat, and that China is a top customer.
As a Swiss company, ID Quantique doesn’t have to adhere to U.S. export controls designed to keep rival powers from obtaining sensitive technology. Ribordy says it took less than a month to get an export permit from Switzerland. Revenue last year was under 100 million Swiss francs ($104 million), he says. But in China, the company’s fastest-growing market, sales are on track to triple in 2017 and 2018. “Every country has to improve its defense against attacks,” Ribordy says. “China is doing it, and I think other countries should be doing it, too.”
