Google bumps up Q Day estimate to 2029, far sooner than previously thought

Google gave itself until 2029 to prepare for Q Day, google set a new internal date to prepare for Q Day.

Urged the wider industry to adopt post-quantum cryptography algorithms, google's public post advised broader industry action.

Cryptography algorithms elliptic curve and RSA algorithms will be broken by quantum computers cryptographic algorithms cited as vulnerable.

Google security staff Heather Adkins and Sophie Schmieg said Google should lead by example and share an ambitious timeline authors of the post named in the article.

Quantum research Peter Shor showed that quantum computers can factor integers faster than classical computers historical research basis for Q Day risk.
