Part 10/13:

• Materials engineering will push boundaries—Creating superconductors that operate at room temperature or designing catalysts for cleaner chemical processes.

• Financial modeling will shift from approximate predictions to highly accurate, real-time insights.

• Energy and climate science will benefit from highly precise simulation, guiding sustainable policies.

However, these advances come with significant security concerns. Quantum capabilities threaten current encryption standards, risking catastrophic breaches but also enabling unbreakable quantum encryption measures—if properly implemented. The balance between beneficial and destructive uses of this power hinges on timely infrastructure upgrades and international cooperation.
