"Quantum Lock" And The Future of Application Security

Stevens Institute of Technology’s prototype ‘Quantum Lock’ May Foreshadow the Next Super-Secure Applications. Stevens’ proof-of-concept demonstration successfully leverages quantum properties to secure the Internet of Things. “These quantum properties are going to change the internet,” said physicist Yuping Huang, who directs the Center for Quantum Science & Engineering and works with graduate students, including Lac Nguyen and Jeeva Ramanathan on the quantum lock project. Quantum locks occur when a superconductor becomes trapped within a magnetic field.
