Ask HN: How Do Google Willow's Results Affect Quantum Computing Timelines?
As a model question, I think it is most interesting to consider when RSA-2048 will be factored using a quantum computer. Are we going to see the internet's cryptography breaking much sooner than expected?
Edit: Also curious if any experts have hard dates when they expect this milestone to be reached.
