Quantum computing does not only pose a risk to up to $3 trillion in digital assets, it also threatens the security of banking systems, military communications, digital identities and more, Project Eleven’s report warns.

A new 110-page report from Project Eleven warns that more than $3 trillion in digital assets secured by elliptic curve cryptography could become vulnerable to quantum attacks within four to seven years.
The report says a “Q-Day” — when quantum computers can break widely used public-key cryptography — could arrive as early as 2030 and no later than 2033, threatening blockchains, banking, cloud systems and military communications.

To get quantum computing to work, we will ultimately need lots of high-quality qubits, which we can tie together into groups of error-corrected logical qubits. Companies are taking distinct approaches to get there, but you can think of them as falling into two broad categories. Some companies are focused on hosting the qubits in electronics that we can manufacture, guaranteeing that we can get lots of devices. Others are using atoms or photons as qubits, which give more consistent behavior but require lots of complicated hardware to manage.
