What Quantum Hacking unlocks
Everything in the game files that lists this technology as a prerequisite; “condition” marks objects that check for it in their conditions instead.
How to get Quantum Hacking
Research in Stellaris is drawn: each area offers 3 cards at a time, weighted by each technology's draw weight (here 90) and its weight modifiers.

}Quantum Hacking: questions
How do I get Quantum Hacking in Stellaris?
Research Colonial Bureaucracy first (4 technologies in the whole chain); then Quantum Hacking can be drawn as one of the 3 physics research options.
What does Quantum Hacking do?
It gives +2 Codebreaking. It unlocks Bureau Of Espionage (edict), Covert Analysis Algorithm (edict) and Observation Instinct (edict). It leads to Simulated Social Engineering.
What is the ID of Quantum Hacking?
The technology's ID is tech_decryption_1. To get it with the console: research_technology tech_decryption_1 (Stellaris 4.5.2).
How much does Quantum Hacking cost?
1,250 physics research before modifiers. In game the cost grows with empire size (+0.2% per point above the base, common/defines) and the galaxy's tech cost setting.
