Quantum Revolution 2025: Unhackable Encryption, Superspeed Computing & the 6G Quantum Future
NIST released three post-quantum cryptography standards in August 2024, prompting governments to require migration by 2030–2035. By March 2025, nearly 38% of HTTPS traffic used hybrid post-quantum algorithms, up from 3% a year earlier, after major browsers and Cloudflare enabled them by default. IBM and Google announced major quantum hardware breakthroughs, while banks and telecoms began deploying quantum-secure networks.
