[QUOTE="InfleXion, post: 2665480, member: 29012"]Here is a link from MIT that is relatively recent. They brought up the risk to encryption already. This is specific to factoring. Regardless of anything else anyone says: quantum computers are real, they have been in use for years, and there is nothing to stop anyone with enough resources from mass producing them in ways to make far more qubits than is being publicized. We'll probably never know that for certain just how easily these can crack other encryption methods, because whoever has that power isn't likely going to advertise it openly. There's a reason the US made it illegal to outsource high bitrate encryption protocols to foreign countries.
