Quantum computers will supercharge the world — but they present serious national security risks
Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize the world by solving complex problems that are currently unsolvable with traditional computers. However, they also pose serious national security risks as they can break codes and compromise encrypted security systems. The development of quantum computers is rapidly advancing, with companies like Google and IBM making significant breakthroughs, and governments like the US are taking steps to address the potential security risks.
- ▪Quantum computers can solve complex problems that would take traditional computers approximately 10 septillion years to crack.
- ▪The US government has signed executive orders to fast-track the development of a quantum computer and increase security in preparation for a post-quantum world.
- ▪Google has announced that the moment when quantum computers will be able to crack general encryption, known as Q-Day, is rapidly approaching, possibly as soon as 2029.

US News Quantum computers will supercharge the world — but they present serious national security risks By Chadwick Moore Published June 24, 2026, 8:07 p.m. ET See more of our coverage in your search results. Add The New York Post on Google The alleged dangers of AI have been shoved down people’s throats for years, led by doomerism about it eliminating human jobs or wiping out mankind itself. Yet, there are far fewer discussions about how scientists are on the cusp of a breakthrough more powerful and much more worrying: Quantum computing. The tech — pursued by Amazon, IBM, Google, Nvidia and others in the US — will revolutionize what computers can do, based on quantum physics.
