4+ day, 14+ hour ago  (548+ words) Today's quantum computers are still too small and error-prone to defeat gold-standard encryption. However, new results from Google Quantum AI and start-up Oratomic suggest that could change, with two widely-used cryptographic systems " elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) and the Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA)…...
