    I know theres some experimental machines out there in like universities and stuff, but aren’t they still just poking around with like a singular q-bit before it decays again?

      “Fastest” private machines are >1000 at the moment. NSA/CIA “gave up” trying to crack sha2 with a quantum machine in/before 2016.

      They already exist, this is already a “post-qunatum” environment.

        huh

        so are these things just not as effective as was hypothesized, or do researchers still not really know how to use them? A little of both?
