BEIJING - Chinese researchers, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University have claimed that they carried out the first successful attack using a Canadian D-Wave quantum computer on widely used military-grade encryption algorithms, which they said poses a “real and substantial threat” to current Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) (military-grade) encryption algorithms.

The researchers released a Chinese-language peer reviewed research paper published on September 30th in the Chinese Journal of Computers, run by the China Computers Federation (CCF) that said the machine used a technique known as quantum annealing, which it says has a unique quantum tunneling effect and can jump out of a situation where traditional intelligence algorithms “are very easy to trap people”.

The paper states, “The principle of the D-Wave dedicated quantum computer, quantum annealing, with its unique quantum tunneling effect, can jump out of the situation where traditional intelligent algorithms are very easy to trap people. Partial extremes can be regarded as a class of artificial intelligence algorithms with global optimization capabilities.”

It later expounds upon this by saying, “Quantum -annealing is the fundamental principle behind D-Wave special quantum computing, It has a unique -quantum tunneling effect that can jump out of the local extremes that traditional intelligent algorithms are prone to fall into. It can be considered a class of artificial intelligence algorithms with -global optimization-seeking capability”.
