Meaning, all the encrypted conversations, online businesses, and banking services we rely on could be easily penetrated by quantum computers in a matter of seconds. It's like we're all sitting in a leaky boat and quantum tech is a big ol' iceberg in our path. “In cybersecurity circles, they call it Q-day: The day when quantum computers will break the Internet,” claimed a Nature article.  The quantum threat is also an opportunity to be ahead in the game, and seize the moment when quantum arrives. Although still in the nascent stage, India is slowly and steadily pushing ahea
