Preparing for the quantum era requires a dual commitment to research and action.

Key facts

Summary

They're issuing a call to action to secure the quantum computing era and outlining their own commitments on post-quantum cryptography. The world is on the threshold of solving impossible problems in drug discovery, materials science, energy, and beyond. That’s because of quantum computers if widely adopted, they can help them move more quickly, avoiding partial, insecure solutions. Promote Cloud-first modernization: Transitioning to new cryptographic standards will be a heavy lift and PQC provides another compelling reason to migrate to the Cloud. Lean on the experts to avoid strategic surprise: A CRQC is not "forever a decade away.” While no one knows precisely when it will arrive, ongoing dialogue with experts from research institutions and groups like Google's Quantum AI team will help policymakers stay ahead of emerging threats.
