 What to Look For
 
 Equipment and capabilities:
 
 Electric, room-temperature single-photon sources
 Gigahertz single-photon sources
 Efficient sources of entangled photons
 Gigahertz entangled-photon sources
 Efficient room-temperature photon detectors
 Gigahertz photon detectors
 Quantum repeaters or relays
 Gigahertz quantum repeaters
 Multi-photon quantum cryptography
 
 Implementations:
 
 Gigabit-per-second point-to-point
 Via satellite
 On a network
 On the Internet
 
 Threat levels:
 
 10-qubit quantum computer (practical quantum systems possible)
 100-qubit quantum computer (large-scale within a decade)
 1,000-qubit quantum computer (encryption codes compromised)
