    Appreciate the info!

    The big unknown is how powerful quantum computers will get. It’s going to take a lot of qubits to break public key crypto. It may be completely unfeasible to juggle that many qubits in superposition. It’s also possible it will only barely do it, in which case we can also increase the key size and call it a day. But post-quantum crypto is being worked on, just in case.

    That’s absolutely the point I’m driving to. We basically have the eniacs of quantum sure we have an idea of what they can do now but 5-10 years down the road are solid mystery. In the spirit of that, to me, ‘post quantum’ is kinda of meaningless vaporware when we only just started with quantum computing. Maybe I’m being a dick about it but that’s my mindset for better or worse.

    Zoom is still bullshit. Their software has had all sorts of problems that don’t need QC to exploit.

    Agreed, fuck zoom.
