What this lab teaches

Two decades of quantum research set against one decade of hardening deadlines — and how fast the resource estimates for breaking RSA and ECC have been collapsing.

How to use it

1. Scrub the cursor across 2020–2040.
2. Filter by category (research, regulation, deployment) to follow a single thread.

Key takeaway

Nobody can name Q-Day, but the estimates only move one direction — down. Regulators have already set 2030–2035 deadlines, so the migration clock is running regardless of the hardware.
