A strategic guide to harnessing the benefits offered by quantum computing technology and implementing Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) to protect critical data.
For years, quantum technology remained largely confined to research labs and academic institutions, especially within national laboratories and government agencies. However, the landscape has shifted dramatically with the rise of cloud-based quantum computing. This development has broken down traditional accessibility barriers, empowering a broader community of developers and innovators to explore and build quantum-enabled solutions.
Alongside this technological evolution, there is a notable shift in mindset within government. Agencies are no longer merely funding or exploring quantum research—they are increasingly focused on how quantum technologies can address real-world operational challenges.
At the same time, the rapid pace of quantum advancement brings new urgency around preparedness. Governments must begin building quantum readiness, not only to take advantage of emerging capabilities but also to protect critical data and long-term investments from the disruptive potential of quantum breakthroughs, particularly in areas like cybersecurity and encryption.
In this report, we join three other experts in quantum technology share their perspectives on how governments can strategically prepare for the quantum future to build both resilience and the ability to harness the full value of quantum innovation as it scales.
