As quantum computers inch closer to reality, experts are sweating over their potential to render many of today’s cybersecurity technologies useless. Earlier this year the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology issued a call for help on the matter, and this week the Global Risk Institute added its voice to the mix. Because of quantum computing, there’s a one-in-seven chance that fundamental public-key cryptography tools used today will be broken by 2026, warned Michele Mosca, co-founder of the University of Waterloo’s Institute for Quantum Computing and special advisor on cybersecurity to the Global Risk Institute. By 2031, that chance jumps to 50 percent, Mosca wrote in a

If you need to calculate dates in your spreadsheets, Excel uses its own unique system, which it calls Serial Numbers. Every date (month, day, year) and time (hour, minute, and second) has an equivalent Serial Number dating back to January 1, 1900 at 00:00:00 (hours, minutes, seconds). Not to be confused with Julian dates, which mainframes and many programming languages use, Excel serial numbers are unique to Microsoft products. Open Excel and enter the numbers 1 through 5 in cells A3 through A7. Highlight the range, then from the Home tab’s Number group, select
