Quantum computing is quickly moving from the theoretical world to reality. Last week Google researchers revealed a new quantum computing processor that the company says may beat the best benchmark in computing power set by today's most advanced supercomputers.

General consensus is that within about a decade, quantum computers will be able to brute-force public key encryption as it is designed today.
Here are some key things to know and consider about this next generation of computing and its ultimate impact on security.
