Facebook has now become Meta, officially! This colossal social media empire of Mark Zuckerberg will not take too long to revolutionize the digital networking. Metaverse can be understood as a virtual representation of the real world as it closely mirrors the real world characters, transactions, activities, collaboration and communication. So, it becomes vital to find most advanced mechanisms to ensure high level security and support dynamic performance in metaverse. Along with Blockchain and AI the Quantum technology is another advanced technology that perfectly fits the bill. In this article we will discuss different ways in which Quantum technology can help in a healthy growth of metaverse:
Making Blockchain more resilient
With the time and popularity the complexity and frequency of interactions in Metaverse will multiply. It will demand for more resilient security measures.
With sophisticated technologies, threat actors will also succeed in breaking some of the best security mechanisms like Blockchain. Shor’s algorithms, for instance, can be used to break through advanced cryptographic protocols of Blockchain making it prone to attacks. To prevent these quantum-based attacks, we need the same technology. By strategically integrating quantum technology at architecture level, we can develop Blockchain systems equipped with reliable defence mechanism against such quantum attacks. Likewise quantum technology can be used to secure AI and IoT in Metaverse ecosystem.
Increased use cases of Machine Learning
Machine learning has already been helping the real world in different ways. However, in terms of Metaverse the ML’s use cases and responsibilities will multiply. It will call for rapid developments in the field. We need a perfect combination of randomness, speed and scalability to develop advanced Machine Learning algorithms. Quantum technology is the finest combination of these factors. So, we can use Quantum Machine Learning by strategically integrating the power of quantum technology with ML training mechanisms.
Building a manipulation-proof metaverse
Metaverse citizens with advanced technical knowledge can try to manipulate the system through smart algorithm engineering. It can lead to enormous effect on privacy, security and integrity of data and activities. We can prevent this by inducing sophisticated levels of randomness in metaverse ecosystem. Presently IT systems achieve randomness by using different numbers but smart hackers can find ways to crack/guess these numbers. So, it would be better if we replace random numbers with qubits series. Qubit series generates random bits which is many times more secured and uncrackable than conventional random number system. Known as QRNG in short, the Quantum Random Number Generation is an extremely reliable way for fortifying Metaverse security! Companies like Quantum Dice have already started developing such systems and the initial results are highly positive!
High end data privacy and integrity
Conventional security measures aren’t enough to protect your website against the sophisticated techniques used by hackers and threat actors today. That’s why you need advanced site security measures. The rising number of data breach and hacking incidents makes it imperative to secure your website against latest vulnerabilities. AI and Blockchain technologies offer sophisticated security to keep the data integrity intact. However, the ever expanding and complex nature of Metaverse would possibly demand even more powerful security options in the future. We may need to create several security layers of different intensities. Sophisticated technologies are like weapons. So, we need to build defence mechanism with the futuristic technologies before threat actor’s start using them for malicious objectives. For instance, the Blockchain’s decentralized ecosystem can still be compromised through Shor’s algorithms-based technologies. Further be fortified against sophisticated attacks like Shor’s algorithms through quantum resistant technologies.
Superior Machine learning capabilities
Quantum Machine Learning is already inching fast towards achieving the key benefits it promises. Authority figures in their respective fields are sanguine about its dynamic capabilities and diverse use applications. It can play a key role in vital fields like governance, pharmacy, science, education and finance, among others.
Conclusion
Metaverse has gained a wide popularity in the tech circles. While it will take the digital interaction experience to the next level, the challenges galore. Right from AI technology management to safeguarding people’s privacy and data integrity, the Metaverse would have high demands. The right technology should have enough stamina, speed and scalability to build a democratic, sage and efficient ecosystem for everyone. Apart from AI and Blockchain, Quantum computing is another promising technology that can help Metaverse to achieve these core objectives.
