Supercomputers aren’t as powerful as you may think and may fail in modeling complex cryptographic problems, chemical reactions, natural systems, etc. Quantum computers can solve these problems despite their complexity. However, Quantum computing can also prove detrimental to today's cryptography standards with its immense speed. Blockchain technology can counter the challenges by reinventing its current implementation to nullify such impact.
