Quantum computing has spent years hovering between breakthrough promise and distant possibility. That’s changing. The technology is advancing, governments and companies are investing heavily, and the implications could reach far beyond the tech industry—from drug discovery and materials science to financial modeling and logistics. At the same time, the very technology that could unlock extraordinary new capabilities could also undermine the encryption protecting today’s most sensitive data. This conversation will cut through the hype to examine what quantum computers can realistically do today, where the biggest breakthroughs could come from, and how close we may be to a moment that fundamentally changes computing.
