A cryptographically relevant quantum computer (CRQC) is a quantum computing system powerful enough to break modern cryptographic algorithms that secure digital communications. In practical terms, a CRQC is a large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer capable of running quantum algorithms (like Shor's algorithm) to crack the cryptographic schemes ... that underlie today's security. 2, record 1, English, - cryptographically%20relevant%20quantum%20computer
