In today’s digitised world, the security of our most sensitive and vital systems has never been more crucial. Nuclear security stands at the apex, where the safety and control of weapons and materials must be unassailable. Yet, a quiet revolution is brewing that could render the foundational pillars of our defence infrastructure obsolete. The culprit? Quantum computing. As we stand on the precipice of this new computing frontier, we must confront a chilling truth: quantum technologies are poised to dismantle the very cryptographic systems that protect communication, security, and global information networks.
