while such machines don't yet exist
Is there really not enough terrifying shit going on in the world that we need to post click bait about hypothetical man-made horrors?

And a pig with wings could fly. Where are you going to get a million qbits? They are hard pressed to get a dozen of them working without f.ing up completely. And so far they have not produced anything worthwhile with quantum computers, just a few benchmarks.
I thought they had passed 1000 already?
Yeah but they're not reliable, so to get a million reliable qubits you probbaly need like ten million unreliable qubits or a lot of time re-running and processing the results
That was only so-so. In the end they had 400+change usable qubits, and this is just an academic toy, not something usable in reality.

Post-quantum cryptography (PQC), sometimes referred to as quantum-proof, quantum-safe, or quantum-resistant, is the development of cryptographic algorithms (usually public-key algorithms) that are currently thought to be secure against a cryptanalytic attack by a quantum computer.
