Hi All
A statement has been made by https://www.linkedin.com/in/edgerck/
"Today, we could announce it. Quantum computing (QC) has become a reality. We broke the RSA -2048 key. Ron Rivest is a dear friend, but that was needed to advance. The QC version used here has simultaneous multiple-states logic (following ‘all states at once’), with more than a googol of possible states."
A googol is 100 zeros:
A googol is 10 to the 100th power, which is 1 followed by 100 zeros. While this is an unimaginably large number, there's still an infinite quantity of larger numbers.
All our QC computations were done in a commercial cellphone, or a commercial Linux desktop, as our QC devices -- opening the user market to many industries. No cryogenics or special materials were used.
"We show that the equivalence of QC techniques (with IBM, Google and others compared with our version of QC) has been hidden for about 2,500 years – since Pythagoras.
A post-quantum, HIPAA compliant, end-to-end, patent-free, export-free, secure online solution, is being created, based on ZSentry as used from 2004 to 2014, to replace RSA. One needs a quantum-resistant algorithm, because all existing public-key encryption can be broken.
The U.S. NIST needs to deprecate RSA today! Otherwise, SNDL continues.
Is it true, apparently he will be making an official announcement or is this just a Halloween joke?
We factored (and published in LinkedIn) numbers with more than 10^1000 decimal digits, and the capital cost was less than $1,000. The quantum computing (QC) version used here uses simultaneous multiple-states logic (following ‘all states at once’), with more than a googol of possible states.

One needs a quantum-resistant algorithm, because all existing public-key encryption can be broken. We further present 8 empirical conjectures, all supported by experiments, that should be helpful in the further development of QC, and applications to other areas. Applications to healthcare and cosmology are suggested." (In publication)

Awaiting an official announcement.
If this is true, we have a serious issue worldwide!
Let the debate commence......
