In the past decade, quantum computers have progressed significantly and could one day be used to undermine current cybersecurity practices. If run on a quantum computer, for example, an algorithm discovered by the theoretical computer scientist Peter Shor could crack common encryption schemes, including the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) encryption algorithm. Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) is…
