    Also the ability to crack any of our current encryption almost instantly…

        Not exactly; entanglement is a critical element of quantum computing for the encryption and decryption referenced.

          Not what I understand. The encryption referenced is about having an immutably certain shared data source from entanglement that can be used as encryption/decryption input. Quantum computing does promise to crack current encryption technology in the future.
