Justin Drake on Shor's algorithm runtime for breaking ECDSA...
"This month, there's going to be a breakthrough paper that further reduces the runtime by an order of magnitude. We're going to go from minutes to seconds."

Zcash is upgrading. Any coins still sitting in Sprout when NU7 activates will become unspendable.
Don't migrate in time and your assets get frozen.
Your keys, your coins…until a protocol upgrade says otherwise? It's not suppose to work like that.

When is Q-day?
Check out the roadmap page on this site. They compiled every major player's planned progress in the quantum space.
This has the potential to arrive sooner than people think.

ZEC's Sprout freeze should raise some serious questions.
If Zcash can't migrate all its legacy funds before deprecating a transaction format, how smoothly will it handle a full PQC migration?
Meanwhile...QRL was built for the quantum threat from day one.

Interesting take that the quantum computing threat will lead to more, not less, crypto adoption. But that assumes migration to PQC well before a CRQC arrives.
That timeline is unknown. And let's just say some projects are much further ahead than others.

Fujitsu develops diamond-spin quantum computer prototype with the potential to be integrated with superconducting quantum computers.
Developments like this one or similar to scale superconducting (e.g. $IBM) could leapfrog the competition.
