Key FactsFuture Q-Day Could Break Digital Encryption
Apr 30, 2024 · Reading time: ~45 sec.
Summary created with AI assistance · Source: smh.com.au
  • Q-Day is the point when quantum computers could crack encryption; predictions range from 10–15 years to more than two decades.

  • The funding aims to advance the world’s first commercial-scale quantum computer; PsiQuantum plans to base its headquarters in Brisbane.

  • The largest current system has 1121 qubits, while existing quantum computers remain limited by errors and near-absolute-zero cooling.

  • In 2022, NIST unveiled four quantum-resistant algorithms; three use lattices, after a contrary study was withdrawn over an error.
  • That would be quite catastrophic. When we do our banking online, use WhatsApp, when you buy something on Amazon … all of these things use cryptography. Our world is digitised. I don’t think there is any way we cannot be prepared for Q-Day.
    — Muhammed Esgin, cryptography researcher at Monash University, explaining the risk of Q-Day and the need to prepare.
