Google has set 2029 as the deadline for quantum cryptography migrations afterward, warning that the quantum threat is rapidly approaching.

PANews reported on March 26th, citing Cointelegraph, that Google has set 2029 as its deadline for post-quantum cryptography migration, warning that the threat of quantum computing may arrive sooner than expected. Google stated that rapid advancements in quantum computing hardware and quantum error correction, along with updated timelines for quantum computers to break current encryption standards, have increased the urgency of action. This is the first time Google has set a timeline for deploying post-quantum capabilities in its products, earlier than some industry predictions of "Q-Day." Google is developing its quantum chip Willow, which has 105 qubits and is one of the most powerful quantum processors currently available.
