> I think it extraordinarily unlikely that the NSA has built a quantum computer capable of performing the magnitude of calculation necessary to do this, but it's possible. . I think, that from the very first moment a quantum computer could be built (given an extraordinary amount of resources) NSA set this to their highest priority, and tried to do so, given what this system could provide them, so I am pretty sure that by now they have already some prototype working and growing. Or do you think they're saving money? Or not trying to draw all possible funds to this cause considering how much appeal its computations could exercise for exampe for US foreign economy?
