Can anyone comment on the seemingly impossible transition from quantum computers on the order of ~150 qubits available today to systems with the 500,000 physical qubits required to break classical encryption? Seems like quite the handwave, especially with a target as close as 2030. | |||||||||||||||||

If Bitcoin encryption is breakable so soon, then what about RSA? That would be a bigger deal than a bitcoin. | |||||||||||||||||

Heise was, some time ago, a reliable paper. Now times seems to have changed. | |||||||||||||||||
