Season 2026 Episode 8196 | 18m 11s

Experts warn that quantum computing could render today's encryption protections obsolete, exposing everything from government secrets to banking data. China and Russia's projects are already in motion. Former U.S. Deputy National Security Adviser Anne Neuberger argues that the next global arms race won't be about missiles. It will be a battle for quantum supremacy.
