Important new result for Q-Day: This work reduces the logical qubit requirement for breaking 256-bit elliptic curve cryptography to ~1098 qubits, 2× improvement over prior estimates, bringing it below RSA-3072 requirements. While it does have a higher gate count, the bottleneck becomes runtime and error correction overhead, versus qubit counts. eprint.iacr.org/2026/280

Migration to post-quantum cryptography is largely a fixed amount of work. Every system using classical crypto will have to find where it’s used, change how keys are handled, rotate them, etc. That part won’t change. However, what is changing is the timeline. We keep seeing target dates move forward like this. It’s happening for a mix of reasons: progress on the quantum side, lower resource estimates, and a growing understanding of the risk. At the same time, nothing fundamental is missing anymore to get started; NIST schemes are standardised, implementations exist, and we have a lot of early working deployments already. if you are still adding new classical crypto into a system today, you are adding work that will need to be undone. Time to PQC everything
