As the digital landscape expands, the security of big data has arose as a critical alarm. Quantum computing, with its unprecedented computational power, both pretenses threats to traditional cryptographic techniques and offers innovative solutions to strengthen data security. This paper explores the analytical perspective of quantum computing-based mechanisms for securing big data. It examines how quantum algorithms like Shor’s and Grover’s impact existing cryptographic systems and discusses post-quantum cryptography as a response to these vulnerabilities. Additionally, the role of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) is analyzed, highlighting its ability to enable theoretically unbreakable encryption through the main beliefs of quantum mechanics. The study also evaluates the integration of quantum computing with machine learning and artificial intelligence for anomaly detection and predictive analytics in big data security. The findings emphasize the duality of quantum computing as both a disrupting force and a powerful ally in safeguarding big data, paving the way for resilient security mechanisms in the era of quantum supremacy.
