Chinese researchers break RSA encryption with a quantum computer

The research team, led by Wang Chao from Shanghai University, found that D-Wave’s quantum computers can optimize problem-solving in a way that makes it possible to attack encryption methods such as RSA.

    We all know that factorizing Integers will be improved with quantum comuters, but there is a massive difference between a key length of 22 bit and even just 1024 bit.
    The current used minimum is 2048 bit. The BSI in Germany mandates 3072 bit.

    The longest key ever broken was 829 Bit using 2700 CPU years (Paul Zimmermann at all 2020)

    Most believe 2048 Bit will be sufficent till 2030 minimum
