For a long time I wondered why there was such a big push for PQ even though there was no quantum computer and a reasonably working one was always 15 years in the future.
… or was there a quantum computer somewhere and it was just kept hush hush, hence the push for PQ?
The answer turns out to be: it doesn’t matter if there is a quantum computer! The set of PQ algorithms has many other beneficial properties besides quantum resistance.
