By leveraging the foundations of quantum theory, it allows performing specific class of complex computations much faster than on ordinary computers. Quantum computing opens up the possibility of solving challenges that remained unattainable before, but it also brings risk. Cryptographic algorithms, which are used everywhere for data security, are based on the intractability of mathematical problems for ordinary computers if a secret key is unknown. With quantum computing evolution, the security provided by this kind of approach is in question.
