Hereby, we need to understand that IBM aims for a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer for commercial clients by twenty twenty-nine.

Powerful quantum machines, quote, "break modern encryption, jeopardizing the internet, blockchains, banks, and digital signatures." In this regard, IBM's Europe and Africa Vice President, Alessandro Curioni, told AFP news agency on Wednesday, referring to the high-speed technology that could crack security encryptions and enable large-scale cyberattacks.

Curioni said on the sidelines of a London conference organized by the American technology pioneer, quote, "If you look at the world, how many organizations became quantum safe? I would say less than ten percent today." IBM, a leader in the field, competing against Microsoft and Google, aims to develop a large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer for commercial clients by twenty twenty-nine.

Now, quantum computing machines would rapidly process data by using the properties of quantum physics and, quote, "help solve complex problems such as the development of new drugs or materials." But they could also be used to break encryptions that protect vital data and communications with countries, including Britain, urging organizers to bolster their information system.
