Quantum computers may be here sooner than we thought, according to a survey of more than 900 quantum professionals released this month by quantum computing company QuEra.
Just over half of the respondents said that quantum technology was progressing faster than they expected, and 40% said that it will surpass classical computing for some workloads within the next five years.
For enterprises, this means that some commonly used encryption methods, such as the RSA encryption, will be at risk sooner than they thought.
