“The world could be caught off guard by quantum hackers before the end of this decade — much sooner than expected. This is the take-home message of two studies posted independently on 30 March, one a white paper by a team at Google 1 and the other a preprint from Oratomic 2 , a start-up company in Pasadena, California. Digital technologies that rely on encryption and authentication methods — such as credit-card systems, cryptocurrencies and Internet communications — have long been known to be vulnerable to future quantum computers . That’s because the machines will be capable of cracking security measures faster than even the largest conventional supercomputers can.” https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-01054-1 submitted by /u/talkingatoms
