FESTIVAL WARM UP - Quantum to Cosmos: A Pint of the Universe

Quantum technology promises significant advancements, but it also poses substantial risks, particularly in the realm of cryptography. As the potential risks and consequences of cybersecurity breaches by future quantum computers are devastating, governments and organisations are already preparing for a transition to quantum-safe cryptography. However, as the development of other technologies illustrates, after an initial period of excitement, overhyped expectations can trigger disappointment and even withdrawal of resources, invoking technology winters that freeze further advancements.
