2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

Same feeling here, and quantum resistant algos for asymmetric encryption ate already designed and are coming.
Without that, quantum computers wouldn't only break military stuff but also wreck havoc on the internet by breaking ssh (and bitcoin, lol).
Dr. Ben Miles is a physicist turned head of a venture capital firm that "invests in this kind of thing" according to him. He seems skeptical still, but does the best job I've seen when it comes to breaking down this whole thing:

Yeah but
he's not specialised in quantum computing
he's a venture capitalist, it's his job to sell his stuff.
even if it does work, we just have to use the new quantum resistant assymetric algorithms (selected last summer, so they do already exist) to make this e-waste.
they lied in 2018 about topological qbits (retracted in 2021), this might just be a funding scheme...
they have, supposedly, made one qbit. And the big thing is they have a roadmap of 25 years to make the big breakthrough... Gimme money for 25 years, I'll be retired before that happens...
Let's see what happens, but I'm not laying awake thinking about topological qbits exactly.
