Toward Quantum Advantage and an update on Post Quantum Cryptography

BARCELONA CYBERSECURITY CONGRESS "DT Adoption" Strategy

Thursday 15, 10:00h - 10:30h | Cybersecurity Congress Room
15-05-2025 10:00 15-05-2025 10:30 Europe/Madrid Toward Quantum Advantage and an update on Post Quantum Cryptography Quantum computing—one of our most profound innovations—has the potential to address practical challenges beyond the scope of traditional computing. However, as we know, solving one complex problem often leads to the creation of another. As we enter an era of quantum advantage, we must also acknowledge the complexities it introduces. Our growing reliance on data, coupled with the rise of automation and AI, increases our vulnerability to cybersecurity threats and their impact. These risks are further compounded by the algorithmic power of quantum computing. This presents significant dangers to our cyber and critical infrastructure, potentially leading to an existential crisis if not proactively managed. This presentation aims to demystify the reality of quantum physics, showcasing real-world quantum computing applications, and providing an update on the progress of Post-Quantum Cryptography, ecosystems, and future development roadmaps Cybersecurity Congress Room
