everyone freaking out about post-quantum cryptography needs to remember that there are possibly a dozen quantum computers in the entire world, and they are absolutely nowhere near being ready for general purpose computing. the cooling needs alone are immense.

and on top of that, now we got microsoft lying about their setup and its outputs

@Viss @carnage4life on the one hand there have been some interesting developments in quantum error correction recently, as well as improvements in quantum resource estimates for cryptanalysis, on the other hand it remains to be seen if quantum computers can ever be scaled to be large enough break public key cryptography at all, and the largest number factored on an actual quantum computer using an almost comically minified version of the polynomial time Shor’s algorithm is… 21

@bascule @carnage4life pretty much 100% of the discussion about post quantum cryptography is based on "what these things might be able to do in the future" and not "what they are capable of now"
