Can 23,000 quantum qubits break RSA-2048?
Summary
The article analyzes a claim that a quantum computer with tens of thousands of qubits could break RSA-2048 in days, highlighting that the result depends on optimistic error rates and unproven hardware. It argues that we are far from building such a machine and stresses the difference between resource estimates and practical capability, while noting the importance of studying cryptographic resource requirements for PQC planning.
