Synopsis

Q-Day — when quantum computers crack all encryption — is coming. Quantum eMotion COO John Young breaks down the pros and cons of what's to come.Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1261What We Discuss with John Young:Q-Day is the looming moment when quantum computers become powerful enough to break current encryption — rendering bank accounts, medical records, government secrets, and critical infrastructure vulnerable not through hacking, but through raw computational power that can solve in minutes what would take today's computers longer than human civilization has existed."Harvest now, decrypt later" is already happening. Adversaries are collecting encrypted data today, storing it like a time capsule, waiting for quantum computers to mature so they can unlock secrets that were meant to stay buried forever — meaning today's sensitive communications could become tomorrow's exposed vulnerabilities.Quantum computers aren't just faster classical computers — they operate on fundam
