What is funny is that the suggested “quantum poof” cryptography is not certainly quantum proof.

Take more relief that the qubit is a dead end and the true potential of quantum computing will not be available until holographic quantum memory is understood and implemented.

When that day comes, all of your hashes will belong to <us>!

Although I'm glad that the federal government and Google/Cloudflare are in alignment about the need to shorten the PQC schedule, it doesn't feel great to hear a president say

The second order I'm signing directs federal agencies to transition to what is called quantum... cryptography. Does anybody know what that is?

right before signing the order [1].
