What was said
"Whoever gets quantum will control the other's military. We don't have to have the bombs. We can just get the codes and blow them up where they are."
Tony Robbins recounts a dinner conversation in which he says IBM vice-chairman Gary Cohn warned that whoever achieves quantum capability could undermine an opponent’s military security by breaking codes. Robbins says Cohn suggested the timeline could be under 36 months and also raised concerns about banks’ preparedness for “anti-quantum” protections.
