Abstract
Quantum computing is an emerging field of interest for many branches of practical computation ranging from cryptography to machine learning, from molecule design to drug discovery, and from physical simulations to financial optimization. Recent years have seen tremendous growth in the hardware and software applicability of quantum technology. It has started showing both disruptive and constructive implications for modern cryptography. New techniques of network security are now emerging that have no counterparts in classical cryptography. This chapter explores the horizons of network security using quantum computation. The chapter first introduces the general audience to quantum computation from the perspective of a computer scientist. It elaborates on the basic principles of quantum computing and helps to set up an intuitive understanding of this new paradigm of computation. The chapter also gives a brief introduction to the circuit model of quantum programming, which is the most prevalent model of quantum programming. It establishes the need for and importance of quantum cryptography and discusses various protocols of quantum security. � 2025 selection and editorial matter, Suhel Ahmad Khan, Mohammad Faisal, Nawaf Alharbe, Rajeev Kumar and Raees Ahmad Khan.
