Willow, Our Quantum Chip
Why is no one else talking about this? I came here to see a discussion about this and encryption.

Because this result is still very far from anything related to practical decryption.

And if they were, would they tell the world?

If they had a QC that could run Shor's algorithm to factor the number 1000, I'd guarantee you they'd tell the whole world. And it would still be a long,

time from there to having a QC that can factor 2048-bit numbers.
