This article focuses on NIST’s general measurement standards for safety rather than specific quantum computing protocols. While it mentions that NIST is adapting quantum phenomena to improve computer security, no specific quantum standard or protocol was detailed. The event is organized by NIST, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM), and the International Organization of Legal Metrology (OIML).
NIST is currently conducting ongoing research to apply quantum technology for better security, alongside maintaining classical standards for the federal government. This work aims to protect data and improve safety for critical infrastructure and law enforcement. Implementation relies on continued collaboration with industry, though no specific timeline or rollout date was provided for these quantum enhancements.
Keywords: quantum phenomena, computer security, measurement science
