They will also be obligatory for US federal government departments, as well as for government contractors.

Founded in 2019, it offers services in quantum algorithms, computing, and security.
Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) are proactive cryptographic algorithms and protocols designed to withstand attacks from these hypothetical machines.
Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) leverage quantum mechanics to generate random numbers.
Naturally, this ensures high security for cryptographic keys.
The world faces ever-increasing cybersecurity attacks that threaten our critical infrastructure.
He further added that the project would also show the advantages of combining multiple technologies to build secure networks.
Global race to combat hypothetical threat
Its not just the US rushing to get quantum-ready.
European telecom providers have also begun to show aninterest in quantum-secure communications.
Rotterdam, the continents largest port, has launched a QKD trial.
And the European Commission in April this year outlined a strategic roadmap for post-quantum cryptography.
Big tech is also doing its best to stay ahead of the game.
The post-quantum and quantum-secure labels are gathering both commercial and strategic momentum.
Quantum computers might not be all that powerful yet but we better get ready for when they will be.
