Will Quantum Computers Really Work? Challenging Doubts About Quantum Attacks on RSA
2025-01-18
This blog post addresses skepticism surrounding the feasibility of quantum computers breaking RSA-2048 encryption. The author refutes arguments claiming quantum computers won't work, such as the exponential energy argument, the number of variables argument, the error correction argument, and visibility arguments. These arguments, the author contends, are largely based on wishful thinking and confirmation bias, lacking scientific rigor. While acknowledging challenges in quantum computing, the author emphasizes that based on current literature and progress, breaking RSA with quantum computers isn't far-fetched, making early preparation crucial.
