Today, Amazon Web Services announced its first-ever quantum computing chip, Ocelot, that it claims can reduce the costs of implementing quantum error correction by up to 90%, compared to current approaches. More details can be found here:

Dr. Marc Manzano, general manager of cybersecurity at Alphabet spinoff SandboxAQ, commented:
“Amazon’s Ocelot is yet another proof point that the quantum computing era is approaching. While we may be years away from a quantum computer powerful enough to break current encryption, advancements like this should serve as a clear call to action.
Organizations and information security teams without a concrete plan to migrate to quantum-safe cryptography are playing a dangerous waiting game. Every development in quantum computing brings us closer to the day when today’s secure communications become vulnerable, and proactive planning is essential to mitigate this looming threat.”
It’s time to rethink any security that relies on being quantum computing resistant. Because the days of banking on that are clearly over.
