Unfortunately, it'll still take a while, this chip from MS only has 8 qubits on it.
And the largest number ever factored by a quantum computer is... 21, and that record was set 13 years ago.
The number 21? Or 21 digits?
The number 21.
Crypto was the biggest waste of resources ever until AI came along. Now its a competition to see who can destroy the planet first.
20 million qubits to break one RSA 2048bt key in 8 hours? We aren't even remotely close
You don't truly mean that? Unlike the headline suggests, fom how I read that it chiefly means the downfall of the foundation of most any secure communication technology, with things like crypto possibly falling by the wayside only being collateral damage.
I think I'd rather wait for that a little longer.
I see they smoked to much Majorana.
