Q-Day is shorthand for the moment when quantum computing crosses a line we assumed would hold—when the mathematics that secures modern life can be broken, and broken quickly. On Q-Day the locks will be quietly and rapidly picked. And the unsettling part is that the thief may already have your safe, waiting for the day the combination becomes trivial to compute.
Today's encryption is a lock that would take an ordinary zeros-and-ones computer longer than the age of the universe—26.7 billion years—to pick. The most widely-used system—RSA with a 2...
