CustomNick & Virgit
Hey CustomNick, ever thought about how we could run a fully autonomous drone swarm that’s both resilient to interference and ultra‑fast at mapping disaster zones? I’m sketching out a new protocol that mixes swarm intelligence with quantum‑secure communication—no one has nailed that combo yet. What’s your take?
Sounds ambitious, but the devil’s in the details. Swarm intelligence already needs a robust routing layer, and adding quantum‑secure links is a whole new beast—latency, entanglement fidelity, and the overhead of key exchange. You’ll have to prove the quantum channel can survive the same interference that drives the swarm together. Maybe start with a hybrid classical–quantum mix, keep the core swarm logic on classical nodes, and use quantum keys only for the most sensitive data. Also, consider the power budget; drones aren’t exactly quantum‑friendly. Keep the prototype small, test the interference resilience in a controlled blast radius, and iterate. It’s a tough problem, but not impossible if you layer the solutions carefully.
