Quantum hardware and algorithms are maturing, shrinking the projected quantum computing power required to break today’s standard encryption and putting the cryptographic systems that protect sensitive data today on a finite clock.
Quantum risk will materialize asymmetrically, meaning some cryptographic systems will fail earlier than others, depending on algorithm design and key size.
Unlike Y2K, there won’t be a single moment when everything breaks at once; rather, quantum risk will be realized over time, spanning multiple years as different cryptographic systems become vulnerable at different times.
IBM’s contributions extend beyond individual enterprises to shaping multiple government national post‑quantum cryptography (PQC) strategies and convening industry consortia to accelerate large‑scale PQC transformation.
Remediate: Migrate current cryptography, legacy cryptography, applications and data to post-quantum cryptography, where available, and minimize impact where remediation isn’t possible.

RSA-2048, the high-end encryption protecting your bank accounts and data online, can be cracked with a quantum computer with 23,000 qubits.
With a quantum computer, though, the situation changes completely, and breaking the encryption can be relatively easy and cost-effective.
The only hurdle is that this algorithm needs a quantum computer that is large enough and accurate enough to run it.
In 2019, Google Quantum AI researchers predicted that a quantum computer with 20 million physical qubits would be needed to break RSA-2048.
So, a quantum computer with 610,530 cat qubits could do the same job in just 1.5 hours.

The breakthroughs accelerating the growth of California's quantum innovation ecosystem depend on fundamental science and engineering from Caltech and other academic institutions, according to Caltech leaders and researchers who spoke at the statewide Quantum California Convening last month.
Quantum California is a partnership between the California Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and the University of California Office of the President (UCOP).
The initiative was launched in November 2025 to align academia, researchers, national labs, industry, investors, and government partners around a shared ecosystem for quantum innovation and job creation.
"For California, this creates opportunities to bring more skilled people into the region and connect university research with industrial development," Ooguri said.
"Our focus at JPL is leaning toward quantum sensing, but we also contribute to quantum computing, such as MKIDs for qubit readout and quantum communication such as Deep Space Optimal Communications.

This ability could provide a straightforward way to control materials being investigated for advanced electronic technologies.
A Simple Squeeze Reveals Surprising Magnetic Changes To investigate how pressure affects these materials, the ORNL team placed tiny crystals of manganese telluride and iron sulfide between a pair of titanium plates and gently compressed them.
Using neutron diffraction at ORNL's Spallation Neutron Source, the scientists examined what happened to the magnetic structures inside the crystals.
The strain also altered an electrical phenomenon called the anomalous Hall effect, providing evidence that the mechanical squeeze influenced the materials' electrical behavior.
The findings highlight how a relatively simple experiment can uncover new ways to manipulate magnetic materials, potentially helping researchers develop the building blocks for future spintronic devices.

Post-quantum cryptography, or the mathematical algorithms needed to secure networks and systems from attacks using quantum computers, is a challenge each military service must tackle.
Securing systems for a post-quantum threat becomes more complicated when the platforms that need to be upgraded don’t stay in one place for long.
And part of the Pentagon and military services upgrading their high-value systems to withstand a quantum attack will be making sure individuals are aware of the quantum threat.
The Pentagon released a post-quantum cryptography strategy earlier this year.
And its implementation “could be added to the Pentagon’s existing network modernization,” O’Donoghue said.
