Tracking the quantum threat so the world can prepare
We track the quantum threat so the world can prepare before it's too late.
The Quantum Doomsday Clock exists to raise awareness about one of the most significant technological threats facing modern society: the eventual ability of quantum computers to break the cryptography that secures our digital world.
We believe that by tracking and publicizing the progress of quantum computing, we can help motivate the transition to post-quantum cryptography before it's too late. The threat is real, the timeline is approaching, and preparation needs to start now.
Our goal isn't to spread fear—it's to provide accurate, up-to-date information that helps individuals, organizations, and policymakers make informed decisions about cryptographic security.
Co-Founder & CTO, Postquant Labs
Cryptographer and serial entrepreneur with numerous research contributions in privacy technology. Co-founded the XX Network, the first quantum-resistant blockchain ecosystem, working directly with David Chaum, inventor of digital cash. Former Chief Scientist at Lexumo and researcher at Draper Labs. Built Scantegrity, an end-to-end secure election system.
Co-Founder & CEO, Postquant Labs
Crypto native and experienced startup operator with a proven history being first to market in financial innovation. CEO of Postquant Labs, building Quip Network. Co-founded Gentlemen Labs (DEGEN), pioneering SocialFi tipping. Former CEO/CTO at Hedgehog (YC S21), creating first non-custodial fiduciary MPC wallets. Invented microinvesting as Global Director/CMO at Acorns.
The Quantum Doomsday Clock is a project of Quip Network, the world's shared quantum computer. Quip Network is building infrastructure to make quantum computing accessible to everyone while preparing for the post-quantum era.
As part of Hadamard Gate Inc (dba Postquant Labs), we're working on both sides of the quantum challenge: harnessing quantum computing's potential while protecting against its cryptographic risks.
