The arrival of quantum computers will have major societal consequences, especially in the field of cybersecurity. A new consortium led by Sebastian De Haro of the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation and the Institute of Physics of the University of Amsterdam has received a grant of over 900,000 euros from NWO’s Nationale Wetenschapsagenda (National Science Agenda, NWA) to study the impact of this transition and to help manage it.
