The Quantum Computing Inflection: Breaking Cryptographic Foundations by 2028

The Looming Cryptographic CliffShor's algorithm has long been a theoretical menace to RSA and elliptic curve cryptography. Now, with advances in neutral atom lattices and cat-state qubits, the timeline has compressed dramatically.Financial institutions are rapidly implementing NIST-standardized crystal-kyber and dilithium algorithms to protect data harvested by adversaries today for decryption tomorrow....
