Google has set 2029 as the deadline for its post-quantum cryptography migration, warning that quantum threats are accelerating and approaching

According to Cointelegraph, Google has set 2029 as the deadline for its post-quantum cryptography migration, warning that the threat of quantum computing may arrive sooner than expected.

Google stated that the rapid advancements in quantum computing hardware and quantum error correction, along with updates to the timeline for quantum computers to break current encryption standards, have increased the urgency for action. This is the first time Google has set a timeline for the deployment of post-quantum capabilities for its products, ahead of some industry predictions for "Q-Day." Google is developing its quantum chip Willow, which has 105 qubits and is one of the most powerful quantum processors currently available.
