Episode notes
Quantum Computers Are Selective Powerhouses
- Quantum computers use qubits that can represent multiple states simultaneously, enabling parallel exploration of solutions.
- They excel at certain problem types but are not universally superior to classical computers.
Quantum Threat To Asymmetric Encryption
- Quantum threatens asymmetric encryption by making key-breaking feasible with algorithms like Shor's.
- This could expose banking, government files, and private communications if unmitigated.
Act Now — Regulation Forces Readiness
- Start preparing for quantum readiness now because regulators, insurers, and shareholders demand it.
- Treat proactive mitigation as a compliance and business continuity priority, not optional future work.
