2018-11-15 - Mikhail Dyakonov - The Case Against Quantum Computing
Could we ever learn to control the more than 10300 continuously variable parameters defining the quantum state of such a system? My answer is simple. No, never.
2015 - Bela Bauer of StationQ Research said in a joint statement with five other researchers
Recent improvements in control of quantum systems make it seem feasible to finally build a quantum computer within a decade.”
2016 - NIST - Report on Post-Quantum Cryptography
[organizations should] be prepared to transition away from these algorithms as early as 10 years from now.
2016 - Michele Mosca, co-founder of the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) and chief executive of evolutionQ said
I’m genuinely worried we’re not going to be ready in time.
2015 - Michele Mosca - Cybersecurity in an era with quantum computers: will we be ready?
at present, … I estimate a 1/7 chance of breaking RSA-2048 by 2026 and a 1/2 chance by 2031.
2016 - Mathew J. Schwartz of Data Breach Today - 2016 RSA Conference
One current concern, however, is that multiple intelligence agencies are likely intercepting all the encrypted data they can get their hands on today in the hope that it can eventually be cracked via quantum computers.
