Scientist Claims Quantum RSA-2048 Encryption Cracking Breakthrough

Quantum computing (QC) has become a reality. We broke the RSA -2048 key. Ron Rivest is a dear friend, but that was needed to advance. The QC version used here has simultaneous multiple-states logic (following 'all states at once'), with more than a googol of possible states. We show that the equivalence of QC techniques (with IBM, Google and others compared with our version of QC) has been hidden for about 2,500 years – since Pythagoras. All our QC computations were done in a commercial cellphone, or a commercial Linux desktop, as our QC devices -- opening the user market to many industries. No cryogenics or special materials were used. A post-quantum, HIPAA compliant, end-to-end, patent-free, export-free, secure online solution, is being created, based on ZSentry as used from 2004 to 2014, to replace RSA. One needs a quantum-resistant algorithm, because all existing public-key encryption can be broken. The U.S. NIST needs to deprecate RSA today! Otherwise, SNDL continues.
