Why 2026 Matters for Quantum Security
Insider Brief The timeline for quantum computers breaking modern encryption has compressed significantly. Research published between May 2025 and March 2026 shows that breaking widely used cryptographic systems now requires far fewer quantum bits than previously thought. In 2019, experts estimated it would take around 20 million physical qubits. By 2025, that number dropped to […]
New Chip Can Protect Wireless Biomedical Devices From Quantum Attacks
Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — As quantum computers advance, they are expected to be able to break tried-and-true security schemes that currently keep most sensitive data secure from attackers. Scientists and policymakers are working to design and implement post-quantum cryptography to defend against these future attacks. MIT researchers have developed an ultra-efficient microchip that can […]
