Recent advancements in quantum computing, including improvements in qubit count, coherence time and gate fidelity, have yet to provide a practical edge over classical computers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That was the conclusion of Forrester\u2019s 2024 Quantum Computing Trends<\/a> report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quantum systems remain experimental and are unable to deliver the large-scale results needed to rival traditional computing methods. So far, Forrester analysts believe that, although there has been massive progress, there still hasn\u2019t been a genuine breakthrough with the technology. But it\u2019s only a matter of time. When that breakthrough does come it will bring with it an abundance of opportunities, as well as challenges, including dangerous new cyber threats. The Global Risk Institute<\/a> estimates that by 2030 there will be an 11% to 31% probability that quantum computers will be able to crack the most prevalent cryptographic methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many experts predict that real-world, widespread applications of quantum computing are still at least a decade away, but it seems to be inevitable. So much so that the industry is already talking about Post-Quantum Computing (PQC).   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This refers to the era of computing that will follow the widespread use of quantum computers, particularly in terms of cryptography. As quantum computers become more powerful, they will be able to break current encryption methods widely used for securing data online. PQC focuses on developing new cryptographic algorithms that are secure against quantum attacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These new algorithms, known as post-quantum cryptography, aim to create encryption systems that will remain secure even when quantum computers are capable of solving complex mathematical problems that classical computers cannot. The field is crucial because it prepares current cryptographic systems for the arrival of quantum computers and ensures that data remains protected in a quantum-enabled world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
