THE BIGGEST REASONS THE WORLD MUST PREPARE FOR A POST-QUANTUM WORLD

Quantum computing is no longer science fiction.

For decades, it lived mostly in academic papers and futuristic
predictions. Today, however, it’s rapidly becoming one of the most
disruptive technologies of the modern era — one that could reshape
finance, cybersecurity, medicine, artificial intelligence, and even
national defense.

According to McKinsey, quantum computing could take computing power
and the ability to solve complex problems to a “whole new level.”
The firm estimates the technology could unlock as much as $1.3
trillion in economic value by 2035.

That’s an extraordinary opportunity.

But it also comes with an extraordinary risk.

-------------------------

WHY QUANTUM COMPUTING IS SO POWERFUL

Traditional computers process information in binary — ones and
zeros. Even the most powerful supercomputers must work through
calculations step by step, no matter how fast they are.

Quantum computers operate differently.

They use quantum bits, or _qubits_, which can exist in multiple states
at the same time. This allows quantum machines to evaluate countless
possibilities simultaneously rather than sequentially.

As Charlie Campbell of _Time_ explained:

> “Complex problems that currently take the most powerful
> supercomputer several years could potentially be solved in
> seconds.”

That leap in processing power could open “hitherto unfathomable
frontiers in mathematics and science,” helping humanity tackle
massive challenges such as CLIMATE CHANGE, FOOD SECURITY, and ADVANCED
MATERIALS DISCOVERY.

Quantum computing could dramatically speed up:

*
drug discovery and medical research,

*
optimization of global supply chains,

*
financial modeling and risk analysis,

*
AI training and machine learning, and

*
climate modeling and energy efficiency.

In short, quantum technology has the potential to accelerate progress
across nearly every major industry.

GLOBAL DEMAND FOR DEFENSE METALS IS SURGING 7X

Lithium, uranium and titanium are at the center of a global race.
Nations are scrambling to secure them for fighter jets, EVs, and
reactors. One N. American project could help fill the West's
critical-minerals gap.

THE HIDDEN THREAT: Q-DAY

But there’s a catch — and it’s a big one.

Quantum computers are so powerful that they could BREAK TODAY’S
ENCRYPTION STANDARDS IN SECONDS.

This looming threat is often referred to as “Q-DAY” — the day
quantum machines are capable of cracking the cryptographic systems
that currently protect global digital infrastructure.

That includes:

*
banking and payment systems,

*
emails and private communications,

*
cloud storage and enterprise data,

*
cryptocurrencies and blockchain networks,

*
AI models and proprietary algorithms, and

*
military, government, and intelligence communications.

What makes this risk especially dangerous is that encryption isn’t
just a software upgrade you can casually patch. Much of the world’s
digital security is built on mathematical problems that quantum
computers are uniquely good at solving.

WHY THE POST-QUANTUM TRANSITION WON’T BE INSTANT

Replacing global encryption standards is not a quick process.

Financial institutions, hospitals, utilities, governments, and
corporations rely on deeply embedded cryptographic systems.
Transitioning to POST-QUANTUM CRYPTOGRAPHY will require:

*
new hardware and software architectures,

*
regulatory approval and compliance,

*
massive infrastructure upgrades, and

*
years of testing and deployment.

That means the cybersecurity arms race is already underway — and
it’s accelerating.

FORGET AI STOCKS — THIS DEVICE WILL REPLACE THE MICROCHIP

While everyone's chasing the same AI plays...
 
"America's #1 Futurist," George Gilder, is focused on something
completely different.
 
A TINY 4-NANOMETER TECHNOLOGY

that he says is MILLIONS of times more complex than today's current AI
technology.
 
It's NOT another chip. It's what REPLACES all chips.
 
And for the first time ever, it's being manufactured RIGHT HERE IN
AMERICA — in the Arizona desert.
 
Gilder believes three specific companies involved in this rare

HOW INVESTORS CAN THINK ABOUT THIS TREND

From an investment perspective, the post-quantum transition represents
both RISK AND OPPORTUNITY.

On one hand, legacy systems face enormous disruption. On the other,
companies that specialize in cybersecurity, encryption, and data
protection could see rising demand for years to come.

As governments and corporations rush to defend themselves against
quantum threats, spending on cybersecurity is likely to surge —
regardless of broader economic conditions.

That makes cybersecurity one of the more compelling long-term themes
tied to the quantum revolution.

ONE WAY TO POSITION: CYBERSECURITY ETFS

Rather than betting on individual winners, some investors may prefer
diversification through exchange-traded funds focused on
cybersecurity.

Here are two ways investors can gain exposure:

GLOBAL X CYBERSECURITY ETF (SYM: BUG)

The GLOBAL X CYBERSECURITY ETF (BUG) is designed to invest in
companies that stand to benefit from the growing adoption of
cybersecurity technology.

According to Global X:

> _“The Global X Cybersecurity ETF (BUG) seeks to invest in
> companies that stand to potentially benefit from the increased
> adoption of cybersecurity technology, such as those whose principal
> business is in the development and management of security protocols
> preventing intrusion and attacks to systems, networks, applications,
> computers, and mobile devices.”_

As quantum risk awareness grows, demand for advanced encryption,
secure networks, and intrusion prevention tools could continue to
rise.

ISHARES CYBERSECURITY AND TECH ETF (SYM: IHAK)

The ISHARES CYBERSECURITY AND TECH ETF (IHAK) offers another
diversified approach.

According to iShares:

> “The iShares Cybersecurity and Tech ETF seeks to track the
> investment results of an index composed of developed and emerging
> market companies involved in cyber security and technology,
> including cyber security hardware, software, products, and
> services.”

IHAK provides exposure not only to pure cybersecurity firms, but also
to broader technology players involved in protecting data and digital
infrastructure.
