I don't know many informed people who think that anyone will build a quantum computer capable of breaking RSA encryption in the next 10 or even 15 years. Other uses --- e.g. very efficient simulation of chemical systems --- will come first.
seems like 2030 to mid 2030's is the consensus. but that wasn't the point of this piece. the point was the long game of accumulating a lot of stuff and making sense of it later.

Fascinating. When quantum arrives, what then for not only encryption but blockchain, crypto, 2factor, passwords, account numbers. etc....
Not worrying or anything.....
