Theoretical physicists said we could teleport data. I wanted to see if we could hold it long enough to actually use it. A qubit’s memory (coherence time) lasts only about 100 microseconds before it decays into random noise. If a smart contract asks for data, the quantum state will dissolve and die long before the blockchain is ready.

The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to make ordinary objects "smart," enabling them to collect data about everything and interact with each other and with people. The scope of IoT implementation is so broad that it creates its own areas and directions. The biggest challenge is ensuring Security and Confidentiality. Since IoT is deeply embedded in critical infrastructure, addressing vulnerabilities like weak authentication and protecting vast amounts of sensitive data is an absolute imperative for future growth.
