The Dream of Quantum Computing Is Both Dead and Alive
Quantum computing promises new types of machines that can solve problems that today's computers take too long to solve or can't crack at all. Many technologists believe that quantum computers will wreak all manner of cybersecurity havoc when they get powerful enough to crack the complex math behind encryption protocols. If proper security measures aren't in place in time, the digital gates that protect everything online will be worthless. Researchers from Google predict that this cybersecurity apocalypse could come as early as 2029.
