Quantum frontiers may be closer than they appear.

Google’s introducing a 2029 timeline to secure the quantum era with post-quantum cryptography (PQC) migration.

Last month, we called to secure the quantum era before a future quantum computer can break current encryption. This new timeline reflects migration needs for the PQC era in light of progress on quantum computing hardware developmentquantum error correction, and quantum factoring resource estimates.

As a pioneer in both quantum and PQC, it’s our responsibility to lead by example and share an ambitious timeline. By doing this, we hope to provide the clarity and urgency needed to accelerate digital transitions not only for Google, but also across the industry.

Maybe it’s kinda biased, but at the same time, aren’t they one of the most qualified people to say that?

Aren't pharmaceutical companies one of the most qualified people to say vaccines are safe and effective?

I don’t think it’s exactly the same thing. What’s Google’s interest in this? Sell what? I might be being naive, tell me more.

Anyone else think intelligence agencies have already cracked it?
