"The cybersecurity community is already hedging its bets against a future when digital secrets are knowable to anyone with the right hacking chops and a couple dozen qubits."
What a bunch of journalistic bunk. All QC researchers I know say it will take at least thousands of logical qubits to break RSA. Given the large number of physical qubits required to produce one logical qubit using quantum error correction, this might entail millions of physical qubits, well beyond our current technology - and way more than "a couple dozen qubits".
