Experts at the 34th edition of Euskal Encounter, a technology conference held in Barakaldo, warned that quantum computing could revolutionize cryptography by drastically reducing the time needed to break current encryption systems—from years to seconds. This would pose significant risks to banking transactions, private communications, and sensitive information. The experts emphasized that quantum computing has moved beyond theoretical research and is now providing practical solutions to complex industry challenges. They noted that major financial institutions and organizations are already adopting post-quantum cryptographic technologies to prepare for this shift. Quantum computing is also being applied today in areas such as logistics optimization, risk management, manufacturing, and artificial intelligence.
