Quantum computing has quickly become synonymous with panic. A quick search on the topic often leaves the impression that an existential threat is lurking around the corner, ready to strike at any moment.

On October 27, I will be speaking at BB Digital Week 2026 in Brasília, Brazil to break down what quantum computing really is, why it fundamentally differs from previous technological breakthroughs, and what it actually means for the future of security.

Most importantly, we will tackle the question very few seem to be asking: is this strictly about breaking cryptography, or is there a much bigger picture we are overlooking?
