Quantum Computing Myths vs Reality
Separating fact from fiction in the quantum revolution.
Quantum computing dominates headlines. Yet most people misunderstand what quantum computers actually do. Let's cut through the hype and examine the reality of quantum technology in 2025.
Myth #1: Quantum Computers Will Break All Encryption Tomorrow
Reality: This is decades away, if it happens at all. Breaking RSA-2048 encryption would require a quantum computer with millions of stable qubits. Current machines have hundreds at best, with high error rates.
Post-quantum cryptography standards are already being finalized. Most organizations have time to migrate, though critical infrastructure should start planning now.
