 NSA anticipates potential 'black swan' quantum computing breakthrough
==========

The National Security Agency (NSA) is preparing for a potential quantum computing breakthrough that could jeopardize global economic security and enable adversaries to access top-secret communication systems. NSA's Director of Research, Gil Herrera, emphasized the gravity of such a breakthrough, highlighting the dire consequences it could have for US national security. The implications of a quantum advancement are vast, with potential risks to the world economy, particularly the US market, as it heavily relies on encryption systems for securing financial transactions. The NSA is proactively addressing these concerns by deploying quantum-resistant algorithms and enhancing its understanding of adversarial quantum capabilities.
