Sausalito, Calif. – Apr. 4, 2025

Cybersecurity Ventures and Applied Quantum have partnered on a new “Quantum Minute” series on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast. A new episode airs every week over the next year.

The “Quantum Minute” covers quantum computing and security announcements, breakthroughs, news, expert analysis, and more. The production is led by an award winning technology journalist and a support cast of content creators.

In this week’s episode, we cover a feature story in WIRED: “The Quantum Apocalypse Is Coming. Be Very Afraid.

One day soon, at a research lab near Santa Barbara or Seattle or a secret facility in the Chinese mountains, it will begin: the sudden unlocking of the world’s secrets. Cybersecurity analysts call this Q-Day – the day someone builds a quantum computer that can crack the most widely used forms of encryption. These math problems have kept humanity’s intimate data safe for decades, but on Q-Day, everything could become vulnerable, for everyone: emails, text messages, anonymous posts, location histories, bitcoin wallets, police reports, hospital records, power stations, the entire global financial system.
