Wouldn't that effectively prevent a threat to 2048 bit RSA in the first place?

- ihattendorf 3y agoAlmost like there's no free lunch. I don't see quantum computing ever really taking off without a fundamental breakthrough in our understanding of physics. Would love to be proven wrong though if my understanding is incorrect and there's actually a feasible path towards quantum computing at scale.
- bawolff 3y agoI dont think there is any fundamental physics reasons preventing quantum computers. My understanding is it is an engineering problem. A hard one no doubt, but not a fundamental physics one. Anyways, my point was that getting a quantum computer at a decent scale is really difficult. If we manage to overcome that burden somehow, the difference between 2048 bit rsa abd 4096 bit is peanuts.
