- Before Q-Day: The Race to Quantum First
Two independent research teams reduced public estimates for breaking encryption securing banking, communications, and classified traffic. One demonstrated Shor’s algorithm could factor large numbers at cryptographically relevant scale with 10,000 reconfigurable neutral-atom qubits. Google Quantum AI, Ethereum Foundation, and Stanford advanced elliptic-curve encryption threshold breaking.
