- dshields1 7y agoNo. We’re still a long way from quantum computers powerful enough for that.
- randomsearch 7y agoIndeed. We currently have machines with ~ 50 qubits and we’d need likely 10s of millions of qubits.
- archgoon 7y agoNo. Even if Amazon had worked out an agreement with Google to run arbitrary algorithms on a 53 qubit computer; that would not be enough to run Shors algorithm (which only breaks RSA and Elliptic Curve) on normal keys. This is also pretending that Google's 53 qubit computer were full, error corrected, logical qubits.
- ipnon 7y agoThere is no evidence of quantum computers breaking ciphers en masse.
- kortilla 7y agoNo, and there’s no evidence so far that anyone on the planet has a quantum computer capable of running shors algorithm in any useful capacity,
- Pokepokalypse 7y ago. . . because if they had the necessary hardware, and expertise, they'd totally be dumb enough to leak evidence.
- Zarath 7y agoYou're simulating a quantum computer with a classical computer. So if you can break crypto with a classical computer, then yes.
