Does anyone really think the deep pockets of the TLAs haven't already done at least this well, especially with photonics at least? All the theoretical fundamentals have been known for decades. If COTS parts can do this then a focused research program begun decades ago will have already achieved what is public today. Public demonstration to me is just a proof-of-concept validating that state actors achieved parity with it quite a while ago.

It would only be pulled out and used in extreme cases for fear of accidentally revealing evidence of its existence by breaking a code that one should not be able to break (similar to how the allies in WWII let the Germans sink a few ships rather than reveal that they could break German codes).
