A new combination of so-called optical tweezers and metasurfaces has allowed to combine more than 1000 atoms as so-called qubits, reaching the limit of standard methods. It is assumed that it is possible to build this way quantum computers with 100,000 qubits become possible, then probably making them surpassing traditional computers on many problems.

#QDay, the big, bad day that a #quantum_computer will bust current encryption is almost here. At least the #PQC industry wants you to believe that. They've convinced a few heavy hitter publications, too. But it really doesn't look like it's going to happen, simply because current cyber capabilities can already break modern #encryption . Why spend a trillion dollars on a quantum computer when what we have is already breakable? https://cyberprotection-magazine.com/q-day-isnt-as-dangerous-as-our-government?swcfpc=1
Q-Day isn't as dangerous as our government - Cyber Protection Magazine

Most companies in the PQC area have the ability to do just that, so it isn’t a differentiator, so that is possibly why companies don’t promote it. The fear of Q-Day is still the most popular form of marketing PQC technology, even though it is highly unlikely of happening in our lifetimes. That is unfortunate, as crypto-agility resolves the current problem quite nicely.

@darkuncle I like that phrase, "attacks always get better, they never get worse"

Can I propose an alternative? Do not look for quantum-resistant encryption. Rather replace the entire existing public-key-private key cryptography with something entirely new. If possible something based on quantum computing principles.

@darkuncle Does that improve the chances of us see a practical quantum computer soon?

IBM aims to build the world’s first large-scale, error-corrected quantum computer by 2028

The company says it has cracked the code for error correction and is building a modular machine in New York state.

Researcher Claims to Crack RSA-2048 With Quantum Computer

A scientist claims to have developed an inexpensive system for using quantum computing to crack RSA, which is the world's most commonly used public key algorithm. If true, this would be a breakthrough that comes years before experts predicted. Now, they're asking for proof.
