    “# Quantum Compute-In Memory Quantum computers will break the public-key cryptography deployed in today's chips — and hardwired accelerators can't be upgraded once they ship. QCIM is a soft IP cryptographic accelerator architecture that combines symmetric and asymmetric encryption engines into a compact, low-power block optimized for both classical and post-quantum cryptography (PQC).”
