AbstractQuantum computers will fundamentally change the landscape of cryptography. On the one hand, they challenge the security of widely deployed encryption schemes by efficiently solving problems such as factoring and discrete logarithms. On the other hand, the ability to process and exchange quantum information opens the possibility of realizing cryptographic functionalities that are entirely unattainable with classical capabilities alone. In recent years, the field has entered a new phase focused on
