Are there any such professors?
reply
almost certainly... i just don't know who they are haha. but quantum information / quantum computing has been a real field in physics for a long time... I had one such professor in college way back before it was a commercial venture. i'm sure there are a bunch who aren't involved in the commercial hype

The timeline for it to become quantum resistant is probably a lot longer than the FUDsters think
... it's also worth noting that "quantum resistance" is, like qbits, not binary. thefts of old coins will raise a deafaning chorus of canaries as quantum resistence becomes relevant, and I'm guessing that the comparatively tiny amounts stored in newer UTXOs will be ignored in the early stages by anyone deploying quantum attacks.

Eh, can't we straddle the middle ground?
Nic Carter shouldn't say that he talks to physics phds. Bigger question is: Does he talk to physics professors with tenure who work in quantum information science but do not have a role in a commercial quantum computing company?
