    I dunno… maybe Google should wield it’s powerful, multi-billion dollar empire to solve more real-world problems that we have now.

      If quantum computing can crack encrypted communication before we find a solution to make it safe against that thread we’ll be in deep trouble if the wrong country gets hold of that tech first.

      This is exactly the kind of research those people should be doing

      1st: a computer scientist Specialized in cryptography won’t solve stuff like world hunger.
      2nd: google as a private company also shouldn’t be - they should be taxed accordingly so the government can do it though
