Nord Quantique's Quantum Leap: The 99% Energy Cut That Could Break Encryption in Hours

Nord Quantique's Quantum Leap: The 99% Energy Cut That Could Break Encryption in Hours Just read something that gave me chills... 😳 A Canadian company (Nord Quantique) just achieved a 99% energy reduction in quantum computing. I know, sounds technical and boring... BUT: This means everything we think is secure online (passwords, banking, crypto) could be cracked in hours instead of hundreds of years. 📱💳 Think about it: 🏦 Banking systems 🔒 All your passwords 💻 Corporate data 🛡️ National security Everything relies on the fact that it would take millions of years to break current encryption. Well... not anymore . I don't want to be alarmist, but this is going to change everything in the next 2-3 years. Tech companies are already investing hundreds of millions in "quantum-safe" security. The question is: are we ready for this shift? 🤔 I wrote the full breakdown here for anyone who wants to understand what's really happening: https://curiosityaihu...
