Could be software, Could be hardware. AI could be making it sooner, nearer in time.
Practically,
How to add the PQ library or upgrade to the version with PQ ciphers?
How to specify that PQ Ciphers are optional in addition to non-PQ Ciphers (TLS 1.3, downgrade risk) or necessary? Where is the configuration file with the cipher list parameter?

Are there additional published analyses in addition to the NIST PQ competition rounds?
RSA was also based off a theory.
Best be ready, for Q-day:

Q-Day is in a superimposed state! It's everyday from today to the heat death of the universe. We won't know for sure until we measure it.
