In 2021, 47 percent of global respondents indicated being very concerned about security threats connected to quantum computing. In terms of geographical breakdown, Australians, with 58 percent, stated being most concerned. Quantum computing rests on quantum mechanics and can be be used to conduct virtual experiments and other complex problems that today's best computers cannot solve. Cybersecurity researchers worry that this type of computer could potentially break most modern cryptography and therefore pose a serious security risk.
