- adastra22 2y agoNot exponential, cubic instead of quadratic. Bigger issue in the context of this article is that it ignores reversible computing, which would nullify the core part of the thesis.
- paulpauper 2y agoFrom what I read, trying to crack AES 256 with quantum is like cracking 128, so impossible
- nusl 2y agoHistory is pretty good at showing presumed-impossible things to indeed be possible.
