Physics researchers Max Hofheinz, John Martinis, and Andrew Cleland prepared highly unusual quantum states using microwave-frequency photons with the use of a superconducting electronic circuit known as a Josephson phase qubit.  This would help with the way banking and other important communications are currently encrypted.  This breakthrough would help destroy current encryption schemes.

“The scientists said their research is leading to the construction of a quantum computer, which will have applications in information encryption and in solving or simulating problems that are not amenable to solution using standard computers.”  For more click here
