... You're confusing hype with the real thing. Show me a 64 qubit register in solid state at ~room temperature, and then we'll talk about how that is relevant to elliptical curve crypto.
Of course NSA is pimping ECC, so they might have their own reasons.
indeed; they vastly understate the difficulty of the difficult part they mention in the article. i'm mostly poking fun - the stability of lots of qubits together is independent of the manufacturability of these individual qubit holders using existing tech. i'll get imminently worried when the RSA challenges start dropping like mad...
