The database that I utilized for the search was ABI/INFORM. I utilized several different Boolean Operators that I had not used on this database yet. The information I have found should steer me in the right direction to conduct a deep dive into the effects of quantum computing and quantum networks on cryptography and cyber security. There were several new articles that I found, and at this time I do not feel that I have reached saturation. There is quite a bit of research that has been conducted in reference to this topic so I am certain there is more out there to find, though some of the information is older and out of date. There is also more databases that I could utilize that I have not as of yet.
