Quantum computers threaten our whole cybersecurity infrastructure: Here's how scientists can bulletproof it

Thirteen, 53 and 433. That's the size of quantum computers in terms of quantum bits, or qubits, which has significantly grown in the last years due to important public and private investments and initiatives. Obviously, it is not only a mere question of quantity: the quality of the prepared qubits is as important as their number for a quantum computer to beat our existing classical computers, that is, to attain what's called the "quantum advantage". Yet it is conceivable that soon quantum-comput...
