Quantum Advantage
Neutral-atom quantum computers are operational across multiple countries. Post-quantum cryptography migration has begun.
What It Is
Quantum advantage refers to the point at which quantum computers can solve problems that are practically infeasible for classical computers. In 2026, the field is moving from demonstrations toward operational systems: neutral-atom quantum computers are now running in multiple countries, Google has demonstrated a major error-correction milestone, and organizations worldwide have begun migrating to post-quantum cryptography ahead of future threats.
This is no longer a purely academic story. Governments, cloud providers, and security teams are making concrete decisions about quantum readiness — both in terms of what quantum hardware can do and what cryptographic systems need to change to remain secure in a future with powerful quantum computers.
