Exploring Quantum Computing for Optimizing Cloud Data Storage and Security

Abstract

Cloud computing and cybersecurity are only two of the many areas that stand to be profoundly affected by the groundbreaking science of quantum computing. With the growing importance of cloud storage and security in the digital era, traditional computing approaches are confronted with challenges in processing power, encryption, and data management. Utilising quantum techniques to enhance efficiency, speed, and robustness in processing massive volumes of data, quantum computing has the ability to optimise cloud data storage and security. Data encryption, data retrieval, and storage optimisation are three of cloud computing's most pressing problems; quantum computing's capacity to execute complicated computations at unparalleled speeds might provide solutions. Innovative strategies to improve data privacy and integrity in cloud contexts are discussed in the study, including quantum encryption algorithms and quantum key distribution (QKD). Hybrid cloud architectures that maximise processing power and security are also explored, as are methods of integrating quantum computing with classical systems. Considerations for and obstacles to implementing quantum algorithms and technology into cloud infrastructure, with an emphasis on the necessity for additional study in these areas. In the end, quantum computing has the ability to revolutionise cloud data storage and security by opening up new avenues for efficient, scalable, and secure cloud-based services.
