‘Harvest Now, Decrypt Later’ Is Not a Quantum Threat, It’s a Quantum Reality, Foreign Affairs Expert Writes

China and Russia are stealing encrypted U.S. secrets now in the expectation that future quantum computers will let them read the data later, Anne Neuberger writes in Foreign Affairs. The warning puts a practical timeline on one of the most discussed risks in quantum technology. A large enough quantum computer could break some of the
