Cybersecurity Experts Predict 'Q-Day' by 2025
Cybersecurity experts predict that "Q-Day," the day when quantum computers can crack codes protecting our digital data, could arrive as soon as 2025. Quantum computers are significantly more powerful than regular computers, capable of performing calculations that are currently impossible. However, the key processing units of quantum computers, known as qubits, are not yet stable enough to decrypt large amounts of data. Despite this, countries like the United States and China are investing heavily in quantum research, with North America currently leading in quantum computing development. The race to achieve quantum computing capabilities has significant implications for global security.
