Key FactsFuture Q-Day Could Break Digital Encryption

- 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- In 2022, NIST unveiled four quantum-resistant algorithms; three use lattices, after a contrary study was withdrawn over an error.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.
