Researchers say Chinese threat actors may target government, private sector and academic data with long-term value. China has emerged as a major quantum-computing research and development center backed by substantial policy support at the highest levels of its government. Researchers say quantum computing’s benefits are largely far off, but rapid advancement and next-generation technologies make the threat active. Some computer scientists have predicted measurable progress by the end of the 2020s – on the more optimistic side. The U.S. Department of Defense is also conducting an assessment on quantum computing risks, researchers say.”]
