> "Quantum computers promise to solve otherwise impossible problems, including examples in chemistry, drug discovery, and energy. However, large-scale cryptographically relevant quantum computers (CRQCs) will also be able to break current, widely used public-key cryptography that protects things like people’s confidential information. Governments and others, including Google, have been preparing for this security challenge for many years. With continued scientific and technological progress, CRQCs are getting closer to reality, requiring a transition to PQC, which is why we recently introduced our 2029 migration timeline."

Is this as wild a news as I think it is? I'm surprised I haven't yet seen more reactions to the 2029 migration timeline plan (proposed?).
