The quantum revolution: Q-Day

In the cybersecurity world they call it Q-Day, the day when a quantum computer will be built that can break the encryption of the internet. Lees meer
John Thornhill and Madhumita Murgia speak to cybersecurity expert and former professional hacker Mark Carney about password cracking, and why quantum computers would be so good at it.

And cryptographer Dan Bernstein explains why protecting ourselves from the quantum threat might just be down to better maths.
