TL;DR

Researchers have discovered that secure quantum encryption can be achieved even in hypothetical scenarios where all classical computational problems are easy, relying instead on the inherent difficulty of distinguishing certain quantum states. This breakthrough suggests that quantum cryptography could remain secure even if classical cryptography fails, potentially requiring a new theoretical framework to fully understand quantum information.
