E-waste Recycling Firm Looking Forward to Quantum Computers

The following write-up describes the futuristic vision of Eplanet Enterprise LLC - a Boston based e-waste recycling firm that is betting big on quantum computers and forming strategies in line with the future of computing industry.

This sounds like a piece from a sci-fi Hollywood movie, but quantum computers are a reality already. Quantum computers are used in NASA, Google and the CIA, among others, for purposes of research and other classified projects. Although the number is very few, but soon it is expected to grow in an unprecedented manner, mainly due to security concerns, processing speeds and power efficiency.

The growing popularity of such futuristic computers will have a tremendous impact on the existing hardware makers and allied industries, according to people aware of recent developments in the field. A Boston based e-waste recycling firm wants to be the early bird and maximize the opportunity that such drastic changes may offer.

“Instead of adopting a ‘wait and watch’ approach, we will proactively advocate for the changes. We will work jointly with the companies engaged in quantum computing and make sincere effort towards popularizing quantum computers. Although it might seem that our dream is still light-years away from turning into a reality, we are ready to undertake the challenge…”, said one of the executives of Eplanet – the e-waste recycling firm which aspires to be the forerunner in the industry.

According to the company, such changes are necessary from the point of view of taking the next step towards making ‘machine-to-machine communication’ secure. According to the CTO of the company, “With the ‘internet of things’ around the corner, the complexity and the payload will increase manifold and only quantum computers with tremendous processing power will be able to give answers to various complicated problems that is difficult to imagine. Also, we need to pay attention to quantum cryptography, as it seems to be the only possible way to keep cybercriminals at bay. After all, no one will want to suffer from network security related issues when their televisions, refrigerators and washing machines are accessible over the internet. At present, we have a world class facility for computer recycling, with the scope of expanding and upgrading it with all necessary equipment. We will plan and invest according to the developments that take place in the quantum computing industry.”   

Computer recycling is quite an old business now, but given the approach that Eplanet has taken, it seems that the company is poised to be the trendsetter of the e-waste recycling industry.
