The U.S. government is betting $2 Billion on quantum computing, and the defense side can't keep up
60-second summary
The U.S. government is investing $2 billion in quantum computing, but the defense sector is struggling to keep pace. Experts warn that a quantum computer capable of cryptographically relevant operations will require post-quantum cryptography and regulatory coordination, which the industry has been delaying for years, leaving the defense vulnerable to potential cyber threats and data breaches.
Pruden argues that to defend against a quantum computer capable of cryptographically relevant operations, we need post-quantum cryptography and regulatory coordination that the industry has been deferring for years.
