Google invents future, non-existent protection from future, non-existent threat. Will hackers find a future, non-existent flaw in this future, non-existent arms race?
Should we wait until encryption is completely broken before we start this research? Or should we start to study it now to figure out how to keep our privacy and security intact ahead of the threat?
If quantum computing can crack encrypted communication before we find a solution to make it safe against that thread we’ll be in deep trouble if the wrong country gets hold of that tech first.
This is exactly the kind of research those people should be doing
1st: a computer scientist Specialized in cryptography won’t solve stuff like world hunger.
2nd: google as a private company also shouldn’t be - they should be taxed accordingly so the government can do it though
Well, no-one stops you from just storing current Internet traffic and just waiting till quantum computers are a wide spread thing and then decrypting the traffic.

I dunno… maybe Google should wield it’s powerful, multi-billion dollar empire to solve more real-world problems that we have now.
